I’m somewhat sympathetic to the points you make in the first paragraph, though I don’t think they will apply universally. E.g. I would expect that”hinge of history” or “patient philanthropy” are both relatively unlikely to go stale in an EA Wiki and won’t meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria. (Though not sure, I’m not that familiar with these criteria.)
I feel less compelled by your second paragraph. I would guess that most of the actual work to get concepts into the mainstream, establish notability etc., will need to be done outside of Wikipedia: e.g. actually founding a nonprofit, publishing a paper, and getting established media to write about you. So by the time you even have a chance to convince other Wikipedia editors that some topic meets their notability criteria, a lot of work has already been done—and the community doing that work may well be able to make good use of a Wiki that can already support them while doing that work.
Those concepts definitely fail to meet Wikipedia’s notability standards, and I think they are a good example of why those standards are inadequate for the EA Wiki.

Thanks for raising these issues Max! I’ve consolidate my responses to a few comments including yours here.
