If the policy on notability is clear -- which it should be -- then there shouldn't be much edit warring. If it isn't clear, then obviously people will start to wiki-lawyer that article so-and-so meets the policy. But that is going to happen one way or another.
See, that's the problem. It isn't clear. The notability guidelines tend to arbitrary numerical cutoffs for the sake of having arbitrary numerical cutoffs, rather than because doing so clearly follows from NPOV, NOR and verifiability. "Notability" doesn't in fact follow from any of these. Having "notability" rules is itself controversial.
