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.
