You tempt me to give you my name. I'd be interested in an independent test. But I live a small life, maybe sometimes in the future, I can do something notable. :)

If knew your true name, i could test that independently. A number of people have made that claim in wikipedia, including some about whom articles were upheld at AfD even over their objections.
As for what you said, I agree that not all humans should be in Wikipedia. I am not myself sure what the boundary ought to be.

Screamer, you seem to have confused a number of things. The assertion of notability requirement for does not apply specifically to BLPs--it applies to any articles about people or some kinds of groups or web content that do not assert or indicate some plausible notability or importance. Meeting it does not provide that the article be kept, it just provides that it not be speedily deleted as obviously impossible altogether. It can further be contested by anyone except the author. It's just a shortcut requirement to get things quickly deleted that do not warrant a discussion.
What you are probably thinking of is the provision for summary deletion of BLPs as "Any administrator, acting on their own judgment, may delete an article that is substantially a biography of a living person if they believe that it (and every previous version of it) significantly violates any aspect of the relevant policy. " as enacted by arb com at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Badlydrawnje...

Just what is the difference between "does not meet the requirements for inclusion, "
No assertion of notability on a BLP
and " the community does not want it included..." ?
A consensus of DELETE on articles for deletion.
Perhaps you mean, whether or not it means the requirements that the community has put into formal guidelines, and whether or not it meets the idiosyncratic feeling at the time?
No, I mean the clarification above.

David,
And you seem to be confused about my example. I'll clarify, an article about myself won't at this time meet the a requirement for inclusion, because at this time, it won't assert any notability. I'm not a notable person, I've done nothing to make myself notable. There are no sources about me. This was my very specific example to answer your question.
La boule est dans votre cour.
