Roughly speaking, you should apply A7 to articles that really have no hope of ever being encyclopaedia articles, or to articles that are so contextless you can't tell if they ever have such home.
A7 has nothing to do with context. There is another criterion (don't remember the number) that deals precisely with that.
Err, yes, that's A1 - although in practice the two overlap a lot (a contextless article makes it basically impossible to assert importance. I guess "Johnny Nobody was the single most influential person in his field of work" might fail A1 and not A7.
Sorry about the mistake ...
