No problem, we're both complaining about "non-notability" being used 
as an excuse to delete articles, and since notability may also be 
subjective, it can be an impossible criteria to assess objectively.

The sooner that "notability" is consigned to oblivion, the better. Or 
it would be nice of Jimbo made a decreed, there are too many people 
wasting too much time discussing a matter which should have been 
resolved five years ago.
