It's instructive to look at the history of Everything2 -- clearly there is *some* lower limit on the notability of concepts that can be included, because if there isn't you eventually get articles called "what is your favorite color" and containing "blue ~~~ green ~~~ yellow! ~~~" On everything2, these were called "getting-to-know-you nodes" and purged relatively early on.
Yes, everything2 mostly or partly uses a voting system for its notability, and to say that it is not without its problems is a bit of an understatement. I'm not sure what the precise deletion rate is, but I found maybe 1/3 of my articles were deleted out of hand. Often I would resubmit them with relatively minor changes and they would get good scores.
