Some comments
I think you should perhaps reconsider a few points on schools, streets, and hamlets. Consider the high school in an average American mid-size town. It almost surely meets criteria 1-6 and 8, but it probably does not have two notable alumni (#7) or any notable academic programs, events or sports (#9) (unless, in the latter point, you consider notability to require only coverage in local sources, possibly passing, that would not normally make the program, event or team notable enough for its own article). By requiring that a high school meet at least eight out of nine of your criteria, you are essentially saying that a school without notable alumni or programs is not inherently notable. While you are free to say that a school should have notable alumni or programs to make it notable, and I would disagree, are they really necessary for a school to be per se notable?
Secondly, in some instances, a street may be notable because a notable person has lived on it, but there are many notable people (especially at least those sufficiently notable to have Wikipedia articles) who do not make the streets they live on notable, and even if they did, it would not be an argument for inherent notability.
Lastly, why must a hamlet, village, or town be in an English-speaking country to be inherently notable if it meets your other criteria for inherent notability? You could make the argument, which I would disagree with, that a populated place that is not otherwise notable besides being inherently notable should not be included if it is not in an English-speaking country, but that is separate from its notability. In other words, something can't be notable "for English Wikipedia."
I just came across your page and thought I'd raise these questions to see what you think. Regards, --Michael WhiteT·C 00:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
About your international relations section. Was it an oversight that you did not include "substantial economic aid or information/technology transfer"? A specific example of what I mean was that Sweden in the 1950s & 1960s gave Ethiopia substantial aid in training its ground troops & establishing its air force -- so Ethiopia-Sweden relations would be a notable topic. Another example is Cuba's contribution of ground troops to defend Ethiopia during the Ogaden War. -- llywrch (talk) 18:47, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
High schools
You say "Currently has 25 or more students." Suppose "Xville High School" had 100 students from 1925 until 1935, at which time the 4 high schools in the county wee consolidated to "County High School" and the building stood empty thereafter. . Why do you require that a high school has x number of students at the present time? That timeliness factor does not apply to any other category of article subjects. Notability is not temporary in Wikipedia. Edison (talk) 18:51, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
