From some people, maybe. For my money "notability" is shorthand for having achieved sufficient external recognition and discussion that we can verify that the subject is covered neutrally and accurately.
OK, perhaps also subjects which are so trivial that they are of no conceivable interest to people who do not already know all about them.
