To the extent described above the applicable criterion is not 
notability, but the fact that these are sub-stubs.  ALL the information 
contained in these sub-stubs could be found elsewhere, as in something 
like [[List of schools in Alabama]].  When the article has so little 
material it's probably better to have a red link to encourage writing on 
the subject.  Even then, a pre-condition for putting the matter on VfD 
should be that there has been an attempt to contact the contributor in a 
good faith attempt to resolve the problem.  (Admittedly this would be 
less possible when the contribution is from an anonymous IP.)  Absence 
of such an effort should be reason enough to remove the item from VfD.
