Im curious as to whether that goes against the typical ethic portrayed by [[Wikipedia:Notability]] where things seem to be never notable unless people _outside_ of a field say they are, which would trump everyone interested in a topic, __especially__ experts.
This is mainly directed at experts in sociological phenomena I think, because there's some contingent of Wikipedians who are irrationally afraid of "fancruft", as if more articles on webcomics equals a worse encyclopedia.
In less contentious areas, this "policy" is ignored---we don't delete obscure mathematics articles, even if nobody outside professional mathematics has ever heard of the topic.
