I wrote a couple of essays about this a while ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hazing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notable_person_survival_kit

I got a pat on the back from Jimbo on my talk page, but other than that,
they never really caught on.

Of course, what's in those essays only goes as far as it does. The systemic
problem with notability and the accretion method is bigger than that.
