There's one very easy way to show you're notable: source. If there's a ton of source material out there about you and your yodeling, we should have an article on you. If there's not, we shouldn't-even if you -have- released two major-label albums, had a number-one hit, whatever the case may be.
I don't disagree. Expecting everyone who comes on board to know that immediately isn't realistic, however, and it still doesn't solve the laziness factor. In your scenario, for instance, the Billboard site gives you that answer in three clicks if it's US-based notability.
