Read [[WP:VFD]] and note the talk of the spurious requirement of
'notability', which is not actually in the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy]].
Imagine how long the stuff would last.

(A lack of notability will often indicate *problems* in verifiability or
encyclopedicness as per [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]], but isn't
actually a primary criterion in itself.)
