A reasonable alternative would be for the notability requirement simply to be that the general public may run into the topic/person (and presumably therefore be interested to know more) OR may ask a question to which the article would contain the answer.

Anyone who’s creative work is published or included in a movie or whatever should automatically be included under such a rule.

It would also be sensible for the default in the case of dispute to be to keep the article unless the actual content itself is completely unverifiable, as long as there is some half way plausible argument for doing so.

There should be no sense of achievement for or gratitude towards anyone removing facts from an encyclopaedia.

Any editor who makes removing articles on notability grounds their raison d’etre demonstrates only arrogance and smugness.
