I'd set the bar lower. 70%. Maybe even 50%.
This does remind me of the time I wrote an article about a minor New
Zealand skifield, and it was AfD'd on NN grounds. However, every
single other skifield had an article, and was apparently notable. It
sort of made that skifield notable by virtue of its unique status of
non-notability...
Which is why we have articles on tiny townships, on
nonentity
politicians, on Popes who never even got ordained and died after five
weeks*. Because being able to say "we have them *all*" makes us a
better encyclopedia.
Hell yeah.
