Notability is a frequent point of contention. I don't think there's a good final way to solve it - people are interested in different things, and some things - e.g. local businesses - are notoriously grey area and prone to both abuse and over-zealous policing. I am sorry your experience was bad, but maybe try to contribute in some less controversial area? There are tons of areas - especially in translation space - where a lot of articles about completely non-controversial topic and very prominent things and people are under-covered.
