But just saying that a person "can" do something doesn't mean that the
person "will" do it. Volunteers work on what they want to work on, and
if nobody wants to write a particular article or class of article, it
will never get written.

Through Wikipedia policy, if the article exists then the topic must be
notable. However if the article doesn't exist, that doesnt mean that
the topic is non-notable. What this is, is a test with potential false
negatives.
