In general I think we should be relaxing notability guidelines so that we can cover increasingly local knowledge, while improving our browsing and review tools -- so people can both visually perceive the spectrum of notability (from hyperlocal to epochally historic) and more effectively review topics that have coverage in more local and less globally-reputable sources. Small wikis don't need to worry about the side effects of having a large database with limited tools to review it.
