Before we put too much energy into hairsplitting as to whether this fire hydrant is verifiable and therefore encyclopedic, click the "random page" article and look at the article we already _have_.
I'd imagine as long as there are people putting their energy into removing verifiable and encyclopedic content from Wikipedia there will also be people putting their energy into keeping it in there. Nothing you say is going to change that. The only thing that's going to stop the waste of energy is for true consensus to be reached.
