I wouldn’t be so sure. I tried to add a page for a newly released album by a band that has a sizable Wikipedia page, and within an hour it had been deleted and all of the associated link changes to update footers/etc had been reverted as well. I reopened it and added more (read: useless, unnecessary) content, and after a month in the review queue it got accepted. Adding a new page is harder than ever, because of WP:N.
