We do what?
I think that Tim Noah misunderstands what's going on there. A lot of
our notability guidelines appear to have been created out of a fear of
not looking legitimate and acceptable - "How can we be accepted as a
serious encyclopedia when we have articles about <xxx>?"
Wikipedia would do well to be less paranoid about external perception.
For one thing, our articles on less conventional topics are very
useful to our readers.
