More like policies evolve and older articles are grandfathered in by the fact that they aren't edited and people aren't going back and reviewing old articles that don't meet the newer standards.

Seems like Wikipedia sucks at enforcing its policy from what I am reading?
The broad strokes of what Wikipedia considers notable has not changed significantly in the last 20 years.
What has mostly changed is that there are more editors now, and thus more eyes and also more serious discussion (rigor?) about such things.
