Alternatively, critique threads like this and overall community discussions might eventually lead to a change of policy.

They also might not, but it's both a lot less work than your suggestion, and if succesful would lead to a better overall outcome.

So the problem is it is easier to edit wikipedia than creating ones own page or wiki? In that case, this should be adressed by better tools instead of convincing wikipedia to accept anything.

Perhaps! I also believe Wikipedia would be a better encyclopaedia and a more useful resource if it relaxed the notability requirements.

But it’s true that in the absence of that, the alternative is indeed to create a page on a different wiki/web publishing platform or one’s own website, or even to create another wiki, yes, and improving the tooling for that would also be great, of course.

Maybe it’d even be better if we used Wikipedia for less and brought the whole web closer to its original vision.
