A line has to be drawn somewhere though. Storage may be cheap, but every article represents a maintenance burden in the long term. Hence the notability requirement. Why would a local investor/entrepreneur be notable to a global audience?
An in-depth article on your local ice cream parlour seems more at its place on a local blog, or on Wikivoyage under the 'Eat' header, or a book about your town; perhaps even a town-wiki!
