Hmm, I'm afraid notability is about the suitability of the subject 
matter, not the article coverage of it. Essentially they're suggesting 
Opie isn't of sufficient note to be worthy of coverage in an 
encyclopedia, rather than that the existing coverage isn't suitable. See 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:N

I've not read the details but my guess would be they've just got it 
wrong. Not sure how much help it would be to change the article, though 
it shouldn't hurt. Better to become involved in the discussion 
concerning the article's possible withdrawal if no one disagrees with 
the assertion.

Are there no Wikipedia contributors that take this list or at least use 
Opie?
