Text of the page (random words):
articles further information wikipedia summary style wikipedia content forking wikipedia article size and wikipedia merging when creating new content about a notable topic editors should consider how best to help readers understand it often understanding is best achieved by presenting the topic on a dedicated standalone page but it is not required that we do so at times it is better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic with more context and doing so in no way disparages the importance of the topic editorial judgment goes into each decision about whether or not to create a separate page but the decision should always be based upon specific considerations about how to make the topic understandable and not merely upon personal likes or dislikes does other information provide needed context sometimes a notable topic can be covered better as part of a larger article where there can be more complete context that would be lost on a separate page mitt romney 2012 presidential campaign international trip for example other times standalone pages are well justified as with president of the united states as well as standalone biographies of every individual president one should particularly consider due and undue weight fringe theories for example may merit standalone pages but have undue weight on a page about the mainstream concept do related topics provide needed context sometimes several related topics each of them similarly notable can be collected into a single page where the relationships between them can be better appreciated than if they were each a separate page as at music of the final fantasy vii series other times when many similar notable topics exist it is impractical to collect them into a single page because the resulting article would be too unwieldy in that case a viable option is creating a new list or category for the broader topic and linking to the individual articles from it as with category restaurants in new york city what sourcing is available now sometimes when a subject is notable but it is unlikely that there ever will be a lot to write about it editors should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of creating a permanent stub on the other hand an article may be a stub even though many sources exist but simply have not been included yet such a short page is better expanded than merged into a larger page see also the essays wikipedia every snowflake is unique and wikipedia run of the mill sometimes when information about a future event is scarce coverage may instead be better suited to a larger encompassing article see also wikipedia what wikipedia is not wikipedia is not a crystal ball other times a future event may clearly be suitable for a standalone page before it happens such as the next upcoming summer olympics however before creating such an article make sure that the likelihood of the future event occurring is reasonably assured for example the wikiproject film strongly recommends that a standalone article for a new film be created only if reliable sources confirm that principal photography for the film has commenced which makes it very likely the film will be completed subject specific notability guidelines and wikiproject advice pages may provide information on how to make these editorial decisions in particular subject areas when a standalone page is created it can be spun off from a broader page conversely when notable topics are not given standalone pages redirection pages and disambiguation can be used to direct readers searching for such topics to the appropriate articles and sections within them see also wikipedia redirects are cheap why we have these requirements shortcut wp whyn wp whyn editors apply notability standards to all subjects to determine whether the english language wikipedia should have a separate stand alone article on that subject the primary purpose of these standards is to ensure that editors create articles that comply with major content policies we require significant coverage in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic if only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject that subject does not qualify for a separate page but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list see the advice below we require the existence of reliable sources so that we can be confident that we re not passing along random gossip perpetuating hoaxes or posting indiscriminate collections of information we require that all articles rely primarily on third party or independent sources so that we can write a fair and balanced article that complies with wikipedia s neutral point of view policy and to ensure that articles are not advertising a product service or organization see wikipedia autobiography for discussion of neutrality concerns of self published sources we require the existence of at least one secondary source so that the article can comply with wikipedia no original research s requirement that all articles be based on secondary sources we require multiple sources so that we can write a reasonably balanced article that complies with wikipedia neutral point of view rather than representing only one author s point of view this is also why multiple publications by the same person or organization are considered to be a single source for the purpose of complying with the multiple requirement we require editors to use their judgment about how to organize subjects so that we have neither long bloated articles nor articles so narrow that they cannot be properly developed editors may decide that it is better for readers to present a narrow subject as part of a broader one for example editors normally prefer to merge information about translations of books into the larger subject of the original book because in their editorial judgment the merged article is more informative and more balanced for readers and reduces redundant information in the encyclopedia for ideas on how to deal with material that may be best handled by placing it in another article see wikipedia notability articles not satisfying the notability guidelines because these requirements are based on major content policies they apply to all articles not solely articles justified under the general notability criteria they do not however apply to pages whose primary purpose is navigation e g all disambiguation pages and some lists common circumstances self promotion and publicity shortcut wp spip wp spip publication in a reliable source is not always good evidence of notability wikipedia is not a promotional medium self promotion autobiography product placement press releases branding campaigns advertisements and paid material are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article the barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself or of its manufacturer creator author inventor company or vendor have actually considered the topic worth writing and publishing non trivial works of their own that focus upon it without incentive promotion or other influence by people connected to the topic matter independent sources are also needed to guarantee a neutral article can be written even non promotional self published sources like technical manuals that accompany a product are still not evidence of notability as they are not a measure of the attention a subject has received events shortcut wp sbst wp sbst main page wikipedia notability events wikipedia is not a news source it takes more than just routine news reports about a single event or topic to constitute significant coverage for example routine news coverage such as press releases public announcements sports coverage and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage even a large number of news reports that provide no critical analysis of the event is not considered significant coverage in some cases notability of a controversial entity such as a book could arise either because the entity itself was notable or because the controversy was notable as an event both need considering stand alone lists shortcuts wp nlist wp nlist wp listn wp listn further information wikipedia stand alone lists selection criteria and wikipedia categories lists and navigation templates overlapping categories lists and navigation templates are not considered duplicative see also wikipedia manual of style lists adding individual items to a list notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand alone lists and tables notability of lists whether titled as list of xs or xs is based on the group one accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources per the above guidelines and other guidelines on appropriate stand alone lists the entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability only that the grouping or set in general has been because the group or set is notable the individual entries in the list do not need to be independently notable although editors may at their discretion choose to limit large lists through methods such as only including entries for independently notable items there is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross categorization lists such as lists of x of y or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand alone lists although non encyclopedic cross categorizations are touched upon in wikipedia what wikipedia is not wikipedia is not a directory lists that fulfill recognized informational navigational or developmental purposes are often kept regardless of any demonstrated notability editors are still urged to demonstrate list notability via the grouping itself before creating stand alone lists fringe topics this section is an excerpt from wikipedia fringe theories edit in wikipedia parlance the term fringe theory is used in a broad sense to describe an idea that departs significantly from the prevailing views or mainstream views in its particular field because wikipedia aims to summarize significant opinions with representation in proportion to their prominence a wikipedia article should not make a fringe theory appear more notable or more widely accepted than it is statements about the truth of a theory must be based upon independent reliable sources if discussed in an article about a mainstream idea a theory that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight 6 and reliable sources must be cited that affirm the relationship of the marginal idea to the mainstream idea in a serious and substantial manner there are numerous reasons for these requirements wikipedia is not and must not become the validating source for non significant subjects and it is not a forum for original research 7 for writers and editors of wikipedia articles to write about controversial ideas in a neutral manner it is of vital importance that they simply restate what is said by independent secondary sources of reasonable reliability and quality the governing policies regarding fringe theories are the three core content policies neutral point of view no original research and verifiability jointly these say that articles should not contain any novel analysis or synthesis that material likely to be challenged needs a reliable source and that all majority and significant minority views published in reliable sources should be represented fairly and proportionately should any inconsistency arise between this guideline and the content policies the policies take precedence as a temporary measure until the inconsistency is resolved fringe theories and related articles have been the subject of several arbitration cases see wikipedia fringe theories arbitration cases articles not satisfying the notability guidelines shortcut wp failn wp failn topics that do not meet this criterion are not retained as separate articles non notable topics with closely related notable articles or lists are often merged into those pages while non notable topics without such merge targets are generally deleted if an article fails to cite sufficient sources to demonstrate the notability of its subject look for sources yourself or ask the article s creator or an expert on the subject 8 for advice on where to look for sources place a notability tag on the article to alert other editors if the article is about a specialized field use the expert subject tag with a specific wikiproject to attract editors knowledgeable about that field who may have access to reliable sources not available online if appropriate sources cannot be found after a good faith search for them consider merging the article s verifiable content into a broader article providing context 9 otherwise if deleting 10 if the article meets our criteria for speedy deletion one can use a criterion specific deletion tag listed on that page use the prod tag for articles which do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion but are uncontroversial deletion candidates this allows the article to be deleted after seven days if nobody objects for more information see wikipedia proposed deletion for cases where you are unsure about deletion believe others might object or another editor has already objected to a previous proposed deletion nominate the article for the articles for deletion process where the merits will be debated and deliberated for seven days for articles on subjects that are clearly not notable then deletion is usually the most appropriate response although other options may help the community to preserve any useful material since deletion of an article is often heavily contested editors are advised to thoroughly follow several recommended steps prior to nomination see also an extensive set of subject specific guideline pages for different aspects of notability can be found at category wikipedia
