By your logic: If any people are notable, then all people are notable.
By my logic all people are notable, yes.
Excuse me while I write articles on Anthony DiPierro, Justin Cormack,
and the rest.
Notability is different from verifiability (and no original research), and in any case non-famous (living) people have a legal right to privacy. So if you can find public, verifiable information about me or Justin in respectable secondary sources, I personally think it should be included in Wikipedia.
