Anyway, I much prefer Utility as a criteria. Would people use an article about cholesterol, yes. Would they use one about Bulbasaur? yes. Would they use one about a Leica D-lux 3, yes. Would they use one about every fire hydrant in Pancake, TX? No.
Luckily this is solved by our other inclusion policies already, it would be trivial to find reliable sources for the first three, much harder, if it's even possible, for the fourth. We don't really need any new policy, we just need to get rid of notability for good.
Certainly, we may find it difficult to imagine that anyone might find a reliable source for those fire hydrants, but if they do we must respect that.
So there really is a place called Pancake, Texas (population 11), but we don't even mention it in our article on [[Coryell County, Texas]], or even that the post office was once named "Bush". I haven't checked if we have articles on Pancake, PA or Pancake, WV, or the historical Pancake, NV.
