Notability is a bit of a spectrum. On one end you have articles like "World War 2", on the other you have articles like "Sir Chompsalot, the fourth cat of the Doe's in Manchester, Aberdeen Ave." If we can agree that the latter shouldn't be in Wikipedia, then we have to build some sort of guideline for sufficient notability. That's what http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-notable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-notable is trying to do. It's likely more productive to try and change that first instead of railing against specific AFDs. If you think all articles including the absurd example given above should be included, notability isn't the only thing brought into question. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Wikipedia_is_not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Wikipedia_is_not Ultimately, the content is yours to fork if you'd like. As mentioned elsewhere in these discussions, it's really the community that's the main workhorse, something which can't be forked (split perhaps, but not forked).
