Text of the page (random words):
s page documents an english wikipedia notability guideline it is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow though it is best treated with common sense and occasional exceptions may apply any substantive edit to this page should reflect consensus when in doubt discuss first on the talk page shortcut wp n this page in a nutshell wikipedia articles cover notable topics those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time and are not outside the scope of wikipedia we consider evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention the notability guideline does not determine the content of articles but only whether the topic may have its own article notability general notability guideline subject specific guidelines academics astronomical objects books events films geographic features music numbers organizations and companies people sports and athletes web content see also notability essays guide to deletion common deletion outcomes why was my article deleted v t e on wikipedia notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article information on wikipedia must be verifiable if no reliable independent sources can be found on a topic then it should not have a separate article wikipedia s concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics article and list topics must be notable or worthy of notice determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame importance or popularity although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below a topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets either the general notability guideline gng below or the criteria outlined in a subject specific notability guideline sng listed in the box on the right and it is not excluded under the what wikipedia is not policy this is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate stand alone page editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article these guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article or list they do not limit the content of an article or list though notability is commonly used as an inclusion criterion for lists for example for listing out a school s alumni for wikipedia s policies regarding content see neutral point of view verifiability no original research what wikipedia is not and biographies of living persons contents 1 general notability guideline 2 subject specific notability guidelines 3 notability guidelines do not usually apply to content within articles or lists 4 article content does not determine notability 5 notability requires verifiable evidence 5 1 notability is based on the existence of suitable sources not on the state of sourcing in an article 6 notability is not temporary 7 notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time 8 whether to create standalone pages 9 why we have these requirements 10 common circumstances 10 1 self promotion and publicity 10 2 events 10 3 stand alone lists 10 4 fringe topics 11 articles not satisfying the notability guidelines 12 see also 13 notes general notability guideline shortcuts wp gng wp sigcov a topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject presumed means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption not a guarantee that a subject merits its own article a more in depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand alone article perhaps because it violates what wikipedia is not particularly the rule that wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information 1 significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail so that no original research is needed to extract the content significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material the book length history of ibm by robert sobel is plainly non trivial coverage of ibm martin walker s statement in a newspaper article about bill clinton 2 that in high school he was part of a jazz band called three blind mice is plainly a trivial mention of that band reliable means that sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability per the reliable source guideline sources may encompass published works in all forms and media and in any language availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability sources 3 should be secondary sources as those provide the most objective evidence of notability there 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 be useful to discuss it within another article subject specific notability guidelines shortcut wp sng for a full list of subject specific notability guidelines see category wikipedia notability guidelines in some topic areas consensus derived 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 relating to independence 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 guidance when topics 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 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 usually apply to content within articles or lists shortcuts wp nnc wp nlistitem 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 contn notability is a property of a subject and not of a wikipedia article if the subject has not been covered outside of wikipedia no amount of improvements to the wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable conversely if the source material exists even very poor writing and referencing within a wikipedia article will not decrease the subject s notability notability requires verifiable evidence shortcuts wp nrv 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 npossible the absence of sources or citations in an article as distinct from the non existence of sources does not indicate that a subject is not notable notability requires only the existence of suitable independent reliable sources not 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 notability is not temporary shortcuts wp ntemp 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 sustained see also wikipedia notability events and wp blp1e 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 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 wp gng but lack sufficient coverage to satisfy wp notnewspaper and these must still also satisfy wp notpromotion if reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event and if that person otherwise remains or is likely to remain a low profile individual we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual whether to create standalone pages shortcuts wp pagedecide wp nopage further information wikipedia summary style wikipedia content forking wikipedia article size and wikipedia merging for the guideline on red linked articles in hatnotes see wp noarticle when creating new content about a notable topic editors should consider how best to help readers understand it sometimes understanding is best achieved by presenting the material on a dedicated standalone page but it is not required that we do so there are other times when it is better to cover notable topics that clearly should be included in wikipedia as part of a larger page about a broader topic with more context a decision to cover a notable topic only as part of a broader page does not in any way disparage 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 wikipedia is a digital encyclopedia and so the amount of content and details should not be limited by concerns about space availability 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 barack obama presidential campaign 2012 other initiatives and mitt romney presidential campaign 2012 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 l...
