Note
Only the noun can take the -s. Notable is also an adjective (a notable success), and English adjectives never change for number, so notables always means people or things of distinction. The noun grew from the adjective by conversion. In the plural it usually names a community's leading figures as a group, as in local notables or the town's notables, rather than counting individuals.
