When it comes down to it, if we only use the criteria of "verifiable and NPOV" we end up with the prohibition on original research as being the only real control on what can go into wikipedia after a little tidying up.
That's basically it.
Fortunately, Wikipedia's notability policies help keep out much of the trivia your proposal would allow. Unfortunately, these policies are much clearer in the case of articles about individuals than they are in the case of articles about schools.
