Well, if you wanted to write a well referenced article on a baby that was saved from drowning by a family dog, and could really make it easily verifiable, I would not try to deleted it. I certainly don't think this should be our priority, but I don't think it would do any harm. No one who was not looking for it would find it in any event. Mark

is just someones POV about what they think is important.
I think you inclusionist folks severely underestimate just how much ridiculous stuff is verifiable and factual. I could start typing in entries for everyone who died in Atlanta each die, using the obituary section of the local newspaper as a source, and these are verifiable and factual. There are plenty of "human interest" stories published in the paper, like "family dog saves baby from drowning!". These are verifiable and factual (verifiable in the newspaper's archives), but not notable. Etc.
