Yes, this is exactly the sort of gradation we should have and should be 
able to implement, but is also the sort of gradation that the 
NOTINHERITED group of editors seek to stamp out. The notability guidance 
has also become a spanner in the works of Summary Style.  You can't now 
split an article up if it is too long unless you split it in a way such 
that each separate article is notable by itself. And even if you manage 
to do that, there are editors who will accuse you of forking.
