Unclear on how [a subject becomes] "notable" in 60 minutes, unless of course it's being interviewed by Mike Wallace.[1]
But even then, "noted" would be likely be a more fitting adjective. If anybody can potentially be "noted"[2], then "notability" is more or less a meaningless term. Bandy it about and I'll probably advise you to iron it onto your shirt and hang it from the rafters.[3]
The real deciding factor should be whether the author provided sources with which to verify the existing content, and/or from which to gather information for additional content. Yet there is no CSD code for this, nor does it carry much, if any, weight in a typical AFD discussion.
Perhaps we have a more serious problem.

[1] This would satisfy WP:WARHOL fourfold. [2] And believe me, anybody can potentially be "noted". [3] Or to just shove it up your ass, whatever causes greater anguish.
