There are a couple of things that I think can be be done to address in a positive way the concerns raised in Tim Noah's articles:
(1) Develop better, more comprehensive notability standards for more topics.
I'll refrain from responding to the entirety of your otherwise good ideas, but this, in particular, comes with some rather large opposition. There is a strong group who would prefer a one-size-fits-all "notability" guideline with lots of exceptions, instead of clear, subject-specific ones. We need more subject-specific "notability" guidelines if we're going to rely on "notability" for inclusion, but it's not going to be easy.
