Ah. however, the standard at CSD is not proof of notability but an assertion of it. Admins are not supposed to evaluate the article against [[Wikipedia:Notability]] and unilaterally decide if it meets it.
Yes. Sadly, too many admins just look at the tag. Plenty of fault to go around.
I suspect this is the result of someone disliking the word 'notability' and substituting 'importance or significance', and not actually a substantive difference.
Well, a substantive difference, not really. But a working difference, sure - replace the word with "notability," and you know where they're heading.
