Unpopular opinion: the only rule for having a Wikipedia page about a topic should be : "Would someone in the world ever look for information about this topic on Wikipedia?"
The reason why some zealots try to remove "non-notable enough" pages is because they think it is a badge of honor to be on Wikipedia.

@ploum there may be issues checking for spam or disinformation and I find it very annoying when I have to scroll through a long list of obscure persons for the one famous; counterexample: "wagner" redirects to richard wagner, I need two clicks to get to alex wagner, her article doesn't slow my thirst for musical knowledge - so why not?
so there may be some problems, but they're all solveable.
so exclusionism seems to be living in the past when an encyclopedia still had to be printed
