Um, no, we're not forgetting that.  We would assert that the
articles in direct violation of policies that have nothing to do
with notability should be deleted on those other bases, and that
we don't need sweeping new notability policies which can and will
be used to delete great swaths of harmless articles which *don't*
run afoul of those other policies.
