Personally, I think "notability" is mostly a bunch of rot. What it really is about is whether there is enough verifiable information about something to write a good article on it. What bugs me about the creation of zillions of articles on obscure subjects is when there is no effort to write a quality article.
What I consider boring minutae are someone else's lifeblood. And vice versa. I write articles about insignificant stuff all the time, as do, let's face it, most of us. They're just the insignificant stuff I personally know about.
