Text of the page (random words):
re is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage but multiple sources are generally expected 4 sources do not have to be available online or written in english multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability independent of the subject excludes works produced by the article s subject or someone affiliated with it for example advertising press releases autobiographies and the subject s website are not considered independent 5 if a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts it might nonetheless be useful to present it within another article subject specific notability guidelines shortcut wp sng wp sng for a full list of subject specific notability guidelines see category wikipedia notability guidelines in some topic areas subject specific notability guidelines sngs have been written to help clarify when a standalone article can or should be written the currently accepted subject guidelines are listed in the box at the top of this page and at category wikipedia notability guidelines wikipedia articles are generally written based on in depth independent reliable sourcing with some subject specific exceptions the subject specific notability guidelines generally include verifiable criteria about a topic which show that appropriate sourcing likely exists for that topic therefore topics which pass an sng are presumed to merit an article though articles which pass an sng or the gng may still be deleted or merged into another article especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found or if the topic is not suitable for an encyclopedia sngs also serve additional and varying purposes depending on the topic some sngs for example the ones in the topic areas of films biographies and politicians provide topic related guidance when articles should not be created sngs can also provide examples of sources and types of coverage considered significant for the purposes of determining notability such as the treatment of book reviews for our literature guidelines and the strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the sng for organizations and companies some sngs have specialized functions for example the sng for academics and professors and the sng for geographic features operate according to principles that differ from the gng some wikiprojects have provided additional guidance on notability of topics within their field see category wikiproject notability advice and category wikipedia essays about notability editors are cautioned that these wikiproject notability guidance pages should be treated as essays and do not establish new notability standards lacking the weight of broad consensus of the general and subject specific notability guidelines in various discussions such as at wikipedia articles for deletion notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists shortcuts wp nnc wp nnc wp nlistitem wp nlistitem wp noteworthy wp noteworthy the criteria applied to the creation or retention of an article are not the same as those applied to the content inside it the notability guideline does not apply to the contents of articles it also does not apply to the contents of stand alone lists unless editors agree to use notability as part of the list selection criteria content coverage within a given article or list i e whether something is noteworthy enough to be mentioned within the article or list is governed by the principle of due weight balance and other content policies for additional information about list articles see notability of lists and list selection criteria article content does not determine notability shortcuts wp artn wp artn wp contn wp contn notability is a property of a subject and not of a wikipedia article if the topic has not been covered outside of wikipedia no amount of improvement to the wikipedia content will suddenly make the topic notable conversely if the source material exists even very poor writing and referencing within a wikipedia article will not decrease the topic s notability notability requires verifiable evidence shortcuts wp nrv wp nrv wp nrve wp nrve the common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability no subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition and that this was not a mere short term interest nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason sources of evidence include recognized peer reviewed publications credible and authoritative books reputable media sources and other reliable sources generally notability is based on the existence of suitable sources not on the state of sourcing in an article shortcuts wp nexist wp nexist wp npossible wp npossible the absence of sources or citations in a wikipedia article as distinct from the non existence of independent published reliable sources online or offline does not indicate that a subject is not notable notability requires only that suitable independent reliable sources exist in the real world it does not require their immediate presence or citation in an article editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article but also the possibility or existence of notability indicating sources that are not currently named in the article thus before proposing or nominating an article for deletion or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any wikipedia articles are not a final draft and an article s subject can be notable if such sources exist even if they have not been named yet if it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate however once an article s notability has been challenged merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface the current state of the article does not determine notability current state of the article sources available in the real world result n no or few suitable sources cited n no or few suitable sources that could be cited n likely not notable n no or few suitable sources cited y multiple suitable sources that could be cited y likely notable y multiple suitable sources cited y multiple suitable sources that could be cited y likely notable notability is not temporary shortcuts wp ntemp wp ntemp wp nottemporary wp nottemporary notability is not temporary once a topic has been the subject of significant coverage in accordance with the general notability guideline it does not need to have ongoing coverage while notability itself is not temporary from time to time a reassessment of the evidence of notability or suitability of existing articles may be requested by any user via a deletion discussion or new evidence may arise for articles previously deemed unsuitable thus an article may be proposed for deletion months or even years after its creation or recreated whenever new evidence supports its existence as a standalone article notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time shortcuts wp nsustained wp nsustained wp sustained wp sustained see also wikipedia notability events and wikipedia biographies of living persons subjects notable only for one event wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability just as a lagging economic indicator indicates what the economy was doing in the past a topic is notable in wikipedia terms only if the outside world has already taken notice of it once established notability is not temporary brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability however sustained coverage is an indicator of notability as described by notability of events new organizations and future events might pass the general notability guideline but lack sufficient coverage to satisfy wikipedia is not a newspaper and wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion if reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event and if that person otherwise remains and is likely to remain a low profile individual we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual similarly reproductions or close paraphrasing of press releases aka churnalism does not count as sustained coverage whether to create standalone pages shortcuts wp pagedecide wp pagedecide wp nopage wp nopage wp nopage redirects here for the guideline on red linked articles in hatnotes see wikipedia hatnote non existent 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 the...
