Maybe we need a "notability review board" consisting of experts from
different subject areas.
We don't even have a consensus on notability, outside biographical articles,
so any such review board would have few teeth. In any case I think we have
enough artificial obstacles to content as it is.
I'm in favor of a relaxed attitude to notability. Readers twenty years
hence, or two hundred, will not care much whether professor X or politician
Y was or was not considered notable in 2005, but the encyclopedia article
about him will remain a valuable resource nevertheless.
