You miss the point. The concept is that Wikipedia itself is a notable web site. The question became: was it possible to make a page that cited no source outside of Wikipedia, yet managed to create relevant content by citing Wikipedia?
The answer was no, but I still hold that Wikipedia's belief that it can manage to stay NPOV when it's selective about what it deems relevant or not is a deluded one, and one of the most damning parts of the web site.

Anyone can make a page notable enough to avoid deletion. Fill it with well written, relevant and verifiable materials and its fine.
"Within Wikipedia, notability refers to whether or not a topic merits its own article." (emphasis added) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability
Topics are notable; articles are not. If a topic is non-notable in the real world, nothing written on Wikipedia should change that.
