The problem here is that we have two reliabilities in play.

The second is using reliability as the latest code for notability, In this case, a standard for notability that is flagrantly different from the practical standard used in articles is used as a cover for deleting articles, often being used to ignore the numeric consensus on AfDs because [[WP:RS]] is cited in [[WP:V]], essentially giving it a pseudo-policy status, despite its deep flaws.
Deciding notability on the basis of verifiability is very far from a panacea. I wish people understood that it is faute de mieux, holding a newspaper over your head in a cloudburst in the absence of an umbrella.
