Is this an accurate simplification as to what's going on and Jimbo's position?

There's an WP article about "Joe Foo".

Somebody sues Joe Foo.

A WP editor just happens to find a copy of the original suit and
writes about it in Joe Foo's article. Nobody anywhere else is writing
about Joe Foo getting sued.

Since nobody else has written about Joe Foo getting sued, the suit
itself is non notable and therefore the information in Joe Foo's
article about the suit is removed by Jimbo.

If this is accurate then I assume that this is what has to happen for
the suit to be proper for Joe Foo's article...

There's an WP article about "Joe Foo".

Somebody sues Joe Foo.

A reporter for the New York Times just happens to find a copy of the
original suit and reports about it in an article. A reporter for the
Boston Globe does likewise.

The suit then becomes "news" and therefore "notable". It can now be
added to Joe Foo's WP article.
