title="Wikipedia:N">notable</a> by seeming important or appearing to stand out to a person or group of people. A common misconception about notability is that importance or uniqueness equals notability. But some things that are assumed to be important lack sources that are required by Wikipedia in order to meet the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GNG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GNG">general notability guidelines</a> or other inclusion criteria. Therefore, they are not included. </p><p>A subject may be the <i>biggest</i>, the <i>best</i>, or the most <i>well-known</i> of something. It may be possible on this basis to argue that it should obviously be included. But without a single <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliable source</a> to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:V" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:V">verify</a> its existence or accuracy, there is no way it can be included. </p><p>For example, a high school basketball player may be the best on their team. A pizza shop may serve the most popular pizza in town. A church may be the oldest place of worship in the region. These facts may be well known to those most familiar with these subjects. But there may be nothing published about any of this that can be used as sources for the basis of an article. </p><p>Also, certain factors that are viewed as respectable by society are likewise not automatic grounds for notability. The world has many physicians who have studied hard and save lives. But most of these physicians are relatively unheard of in published sources and are not worthy of articles. Likewise, the principal of a school or the founder of a club do not get automatic articles for their achievements. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Factors_that_do_not_automatically_render_notability" data-mw-thread-id="h-Factors_that_do_not_automatically_render_notability-2004-12-22T13:16:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Factors_that_do_not_automatically_render_notability-2004-12-22T13:16:00.000Z"></span>Factors that do not automatically render notability<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Factors_that_do_not_automatically_render_notability-2004-12-22T13:16:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Subjective_importance&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Factors that do not automatically render notability"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1252059228">.mw-parser-output .module-shortcutboxplain{float:right;margin:0 0 0 1em;border:1px solid var(--border-color-base,#a2a9b1);background-color:var(--background-color-base,#fff);padding:0.3em 0.6em 0.2em 0.6em;text-align:center;font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output .module-shortcutboxleft{float:left;margin:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .module-shortcutlist{display:inline-block;border-bottom:1px solid var(--border-color-base,#a2a9b1);margin-bottom:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .module-shortcutboxplain ul{font-weight:bold}.mw-parser-output .module-shortcutanchordiv{position:relative;top:-3em}.mw-parser-output li .module-shortcutanchordiv{float:right}.mw-parser-output .mbox-imageright .module-shortcutboxplain{padding:0.4em 1em 0.4em 1em;line-height:1.3;margin:0}</style><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:FACTORS"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1126788409">.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul{line-height:inherit;list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0}.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol li,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul li{margin-bottom:0}</style><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:FACTORS&redirect=no">WP:FACTORS</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>There are many reasons why one may believe something is notable when they are not.

But all too often, one's talent and greatness is a matter of personal taste. Even when measured by statistics (such as the number of home runs one has hit) and recorded, it means nothing in the way of notability unless it gets published. Furthermore, every single person in any occupation at all could always simply <i>claim</i> to have talent, whether they've actually achieved anything encyclopedically noteworthy or not — however, Wikipedia's inclusion standards are not based on what's been claimed about a person or group, but on what can be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliably sourced</a> as <i>true</i> about a person or group. </p><p>And even if a statistic is measurable by numbers, being a great feat is still a point-of-view issue. A high school sports star may not be able to score once at a professional level. A child prodigy may not grow up to be very successful. This is just another reason why sources must continue to rule over so-called "talent." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rank" data-mw-thread-id="h-Rank-Factors_that_do_not_automatically_render_notability-2008-11-14T12:45:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Rank-Factors_that_do_not_automatically_render_notability-2008-11-14T12:45:00.000Z"></span>Rank<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Rank-Factors_that_do_not_automatically_render_notability-2008-11-14T12:45:00.000Z"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Subjective_importance&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Rank"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Example-2008-11-14T12:45:00.000Z-Rank"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:RANK"></span><span id="WP:NUMBER1"></span><span id="WP:NUM1"></span><span id="WP:N1"></span><span id="WP:ONLY"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcuts</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:RANK&redirect=no">WP:RANK</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NUMBER1&redirect=no">WP:NUMBER1</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NUM1&redirect=no">WP:NUM1</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:N1&redirect=no">WP:N1</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:ONLY&redirect=no">WP:ONLY</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">"WP:RANK" redirects here.

Being known as <i>"Dr. John Doe"</i> or <i>"The Reverend John Doe"</i> or <i>"John Doe, Attorney at Law"</i> sounds a lot nicer than simply being called <i>"John Doe."</i> It is quite deserving too. Yet, there are plenty of people out there in these positions who have never received the coverage needed to be given a Wikipedia article. In fact, a very small percentage of those in such positions have accomplished just that. </p><p>It may seem strange that at the same time, so many people who have not come close to the above achievements qualify for having articles. Some people have articles for writing one short book, acting in one film, or publishing one song. Some people have articles for playing briefly on a professional sports team. Some people have earned themselves articles just for being victims of crime, or even stranger when you come to think of it, committing the crimes themselves. </p><p>While this may seem so unfair, this does not mean a person who has achieved a high academic credential in their field is unimportant, <a href="/wiki/Insignificance" title="Insignificance">insignificant</a>, or is being dishonored. It is just that getting a Wikipedia article–meeting <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:N" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:N">WP:N</a>–is based on information that has been published in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliable sources</a>, and some fields tend to be better covered by reliable sources than others.

title="Wikipedia:NOTADVERTISING">Wikipedia is not an advertising service</a>. If you've reached this page, you probably know this by now. But the absence of seeking profit is not a free pass to having an article. </p><p>For starters, in case you have not noticed, Wikipedia <i>does</i> allow articles about for-profit companies, provided that they meet <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)" title="Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)">notability guidelines</a>. Wikipedia has thousands of articles on for-profit companies, ranging from international corporations that are household vocabulary (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Walmart" title="Walmart">Walmart</a>), to some local businesses operating a single location known mostly to those in the region (such as the <a href="/wiki/Hersheypark" title="Hersheypark">Hersheypark</a>). </p><p>Likewise, an entity that is not out there to make a profit, and is funded by taxes or private donations, or does not operate using money at all, can be <i>excluded</i> if it fails to meet Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GNG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GNG">general notability guidelines</a>. </p><p>One thing to be aware of is that many services operated by a national, state/provincial, or municipal government are not 100% tax-funded and do indeed solicit income via advertising, just like a for-profit corporation. For example, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Postal_Service" title="United States Postal Service">United States Postal Service</a>, as well as selling its stamps, uses televised advertising to make their offerings known. Many government-operated <a href="/wiki/Lottery" title="Lottery">lotteries</a> are run more like businesses. And political candidates are looking for donations for their campaigns, not to mention, votes. This does not exclude them from having articles, but still, all inclusion and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:V" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:V">citation</a> guidelines must be carefully met. </p><p>You also cannot forget that the purpose of many non-profit organizations is to support some partisan, often controversial cause (e.g. <a href="/wiki/NARAL_Pro-Choice_America" class="mw-redirect" title="NARAL Pro-Choice America">NARAL Pro-Choice America</a>, <a href="/wiki/PETA" class="mw-redirect" title="PETA">PETA</a>). This does not rule out their ability to have articles, as many such organizations are indeed worthy of them. But it requires that any such article that is written must be based on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">neutral, factual</a> information, and does not promote or oppose the cause. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Dictionary_definitions" data-mw-thread-id="h-Dictionary_definitions"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Dictionary_definitions"></span>Dictionary definitions<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Dictionary_definitions"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Subjective_importance&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Dictionary definitions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:DDI"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:DDI&redirect=no">WP:DDI</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary">Wikipedia is not a dictionary</a>. There are many subjects that are commonplace in our lives. But the most that can be said about them is a simple definition, nothing more, no matter how hard you search. In such a case, rather than creating an article, it is preferable to link from articles that give important mention on the subject with the following: [[wikt:subject name]]. If the subject is the title of a disambiguation page, a link to the wiktionary entry can be obtained by adding {{wiktionary|subjectname}} to the top. If there is only one other use, this can be accomplished through a hatnote of {{see wiktionary|subjectname}}. </p><p>For example, the title "nice" is used for the French city <a href="/wiki/Nice" title="Nice">Nice</a>. On the page <a href="/wiki/Nice_(disambiguation)" class="mw-disambig" title="Nice (disambiguation)">Nice (disambiguation)</a>, there is such a link to the word "nice," which includes the English adjective. </p><p>Entry of <a href="/wiki/What_goes_around_comes_around" class="mw-redirect" title="What goes around comes around">What goes around comes around</a> leads to the album by Waylon Jennings. At the top, using {{see wiktionary}}, is a hatnote that says <i>"For a definition of the phrase "what goes around comes around", see the Wiktionary entry {{wikt:what goes around comes around}}."</i> </p><p>If one more piece of sourceable information besides the very basic definition can be included, even if the article is still a stub, it is worthy of inclusion. </p> <div class="mw-heading
