"Notability" is a weapon used by many editors to get rid of entries that go against their views. I've seen it used to keep off pages for highly-selling authors who hold contrary views to certain viewpoints even though they are better-known and more highly cited than authors who advocate to those certain viewpoints who get to keep their pages. No one should be able to gatekeep in this way, and there should not be anyone who can claim a page and make it theirs, keeping off any and all edits or challenges by others.



I've seen it getting used against... games in particular language

Same game in a one language can be extremely notable and well known to everyone, while in other it'd get deleted without a trace.

Sometimes it feels like "racism" based on countries (countrism?)

jingoism


A lot of languages span several races or countries.
