There is no need for the topics to be notable. Mini-articles are good
if they provide useful content to someone searching for that term. If
someone is seacrhing for your cat, it's totally fine for there to be a
mini-article on that. It's not meant to be encyclopedic. It just has
to be not pure spam. This means, you can link to your cat's myspace
page on the mini-article about your cat, but not on the mini-article
about myspace. :)
