do you remember any particular discussions about
articles (on the talk
page, or AfD if enough newcomers found their way there) on English
Wikipedia where you could see that new editors/outsiders didn't agree
with the concept of notability, or how notability is interpreted among
(most) Wikipedians? I know that I've seen them, I just can't seem
where to find them.

These need collecting.
Deleting newcomers' hard work is one of our big PR problems. Even if,
after contemplation, we decide we were actually right to do so.
When someone wanders into the sausage factory and the very first thing
that happens is that they fall head-first into the meat grinder ...
this is an *unfortunate* circumstance.
