Most of WP is not notable?

Do you really believe this? I certainly don't. I'm sure that there are, as you suggest, "other crap" type articles out there whose topics are not the subject of reliable sources. In many cases, those should probably be deleted. However, just looking at my watch list, I think that at least a majority of the article topics there are the subject of entire books. The ones that are not are have certainly been the subject of newspaper and magazine articles. Even classes of information that I thought could be suspect by this guideline, like individual episodes of Seinfeld, are probably the subject of reviews published in magazines and newspapers and whatnot. Also note that WP:NEO establishes a different, more stringent standard for a neologism to get its own WP article than WP:N and other relevant policies and guidelines may establish for a different sort of article topic.
