You have confirmed my fears that the result of this proposal would be to grossly reduce the utility of Wikipedia's entries by merging and cutting them.
Please read my response (and others) at the bottom of _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notability_%28fiction%29#Section... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Section_bre...) . You'll be surprised that we're not bad people.
I don't think you're bad people. I believe you earnestly want to improve Wikipedia. I just believe your reasoning is flawed.
In response to another comment, the terminology meaning is changing. We're using the term "notability" to TRANSCEND deletionism, to the point where the WP:FICT rewirte actually DISCOURAGES deletion. There are many other solutions to keep people happy. Once again, I recommend people read the rewrite ([[User:Deckiller/Notability (fiction)]]).
It's troubling that we're introducing *yet more jargon* in a *guideline subpage* with the "out of universe" and "in universe" language.
