its own article. </p><p>Information on Wikipedia must be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:V" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:V">verifiable</a>; if no <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">reliable</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources" title="Wikipedia:Independent sources">independent</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IINFO" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IINFO">indiscriminate inclusion</a> of topics. Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice". Determining notability does not <em>necessarily</em> depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below. </p><p>A topic is <a href="/wiki/Presumption" title="Presumption">presumed</a> to merit an article if: </p> <ol><li>It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG); and</li> <li>It is not excluded under the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not" title="Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not">What Wikipedia is not</a> policy.</li></ol> <p>This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Merging" title="Wikipedia:Merging">merge</a> or group two or more related topics into a single article. These guidelines only outline how suitable a <em>topic</em> is for <em>its own article or list</em>.

The currently accepted subject guidelines are listed in the box at the top of this page and at <a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_notability_guidelines" title="Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines">Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines</a>. 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. </p><p>SNGs also serve additional and varying purposes depending on the topic. Some SNGs, for example the ones in the topic areas of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(films)" title="Wikipedia:Notability (films)">films</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)" title="Wikipedia:Notability (people)">biographies</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:POLITICIAN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:POLITICIAN">politicians</a>, 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(books)" title="Wikipedia:Notability (books)">literature guidelines</a> and the strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the SNG for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)" title="Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)">organizations and companies</a>. Some SNGs have specialized functions: for example, the SNG for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)" title="Wikipedia:Notability (academics)">academics and professors</a> and the SNG for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(geographic_features)" title="Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)">geographic features</a> operate according to principles that differ from the GNG. </p><p>Some <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject">WikiProjects</a> have provided additional guidance on notability of topics within their field. Editors are cautioned that these WikiProject notability guidance pages should be treated as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Essays" title="Wikipedia:Essays">essays</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion">Wikipedia:Articles for deletion</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Notability_guidelines_do_not_apply_to_content_within_articles_or_lists" data-mw-thread-id="h-Notability_guidelines_do_not_apply_to_content_within_articles_or_lists"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Notability_guidelines_do_not_apply_to_content_within_articles_or_lists"></span><span id="NCONTENT"></span>Notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Notability_guidelines_do_not_apply_to_content_within_articles_or_lists"></span></h2></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:NNC"></span><span id="WP:NLISTITEM"></span><span id="WP:NOTEWORTHY"></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:NNC&redirect=no">WP:NNC</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NLISTITEM&redirect=no">WP:NLISTITEM</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NOTEWORTHY&redirect=no">WP:NOTEWORTHY</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>The criteria applied to the creation or retention of an article are not the same as those applied to the content inside it.

Notability requires only that suitable independent, reliable sources <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Published" title="Wikipedia:Published">exist in the real world</a>; it does not require their immediate presence or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">citation</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion" title="Wikipedia:Proposed deletion">proposing</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion">nominating</a> an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion">deletion discussion</a>, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BEFORE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BEFORE">find sources</a> for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any. </p><p>Wikipedia articles are <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IMPERFECT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IMPERFECT">not a final draft</a>, 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. </p>

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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ILIKEIT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ILIKEIT">likes</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT">dislikes</a>. Wikipedia is a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTPAPER" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTPAPER">digital encyclopedia</a>, and so the amount of content and details should not be limited by concerns about space availability. </p> <ul><li><b>Does other information provide needed context?</b> 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 (<a href="/wiki/Barack_Obama_2012_presidential_campaign#Other_initiatives" title="Barack Obama 2012 presidential campaign">Barack Obama 2012 presidential campaign § Other initiatives</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mitt_Romney_2012_presidential_campaign#International_trip" title="Mitt Romney 2012 presidential campaign">Mitt Romney 2012 presidential campaign § International trip</a>, for example). Other times, standalone pages are well justified (as with <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President of the United States</a> as well as standalone biographies of every individual President). One should particularly consider <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DUE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DUE">due and undue weight</a>. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Fringe_theories" title="Wikipedia:Fringe theories">Fringe theories</a>, for example, may merit standalone pages but have undue weight on a page about the mainstream concept.</li> <li><b>Do related topics provide needed context?</b> 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 <a href="/wiki/Music_of_the_Final_Fantasy_VII_series" title="Music of the Final Fantasy VII series">Music of the <i>Final Fantasy VII</i> series</a>). 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 <a href="/wiki/Category:Restaurants_in_New_York_City" title="Category:Restaurants in New York City">Category:Restaurants in New York City</a>).</li> <li><b>What sourcing is available now?</b> 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PERMASTUB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PERMASTUB">permanent stub</a>. 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Every_snowflake_is_unique" title="Wikipedia:Every snowflake is unique">Wikipedia:Every snowflake is unique</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill" title="Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill">Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill</a>). Sometimes, when information about a future event is scarce, coverage may instead be better suited to a larger encompassing article (see also <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CRYSTAL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CRYSTAL">Wikipedia:CRYSTAL</a>). Other times, a future event may clearly be suitable for a standalone page before it happens (such as the next upcoming <a href="/wiki/Summer_Olympics" class="mw-redirect" title="Summer Olympics">Summer Olympics</a>). However, before creating such an article, make sure that the likelihood of the future event occurring is reasonably assured. For example, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FILM" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FILM">WikiProject Film</a> strongly recommends that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NFF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NFF">a standalone article for a new film be created</a> only if reliable sources confirm that principal photography for the film has commenced, as completion of the film is generally seen out to the end from this point on.</li></ul> <p><a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_notability_guidelines" title="Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines">Subject-specific notability guidelines</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Advice_pages" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Advice pages">WikiProject advice pages</a> may provide information on how to make these editorial decisions in particular subject areas. When a standalone page is created, it can be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SPINOFF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SPINOFF">spun off</a> from a broader page. Conversely, when notable topics are not given standalone pages, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:REDIRECT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:REDIRECT">redirection pages</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DISAMBIGUATION" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DISAMBIGUATION">disambiguation</a> can be used to direct readers searching for such topics to the appropriate articles and sections within them (see also <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_are_cheap" title="Wikipedia:Redirects are cheap">Wikipedia:Redirects are cheap</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Why_we_have_these_requirements" data-mw-thread-id="h-Why_we_have_these_requirements"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Why_we_have_these_requirements"></span>Why we have these requirements<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Why_we_have_these_requirements"></span></h2></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:WHYN"></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:WHYN&redirect=no">WP:WHYN</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>Editors apply notability standards to all subjects to determine whether the English language Wikipedia should have a separate, stand-alone article on that subject.

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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Merging" title="Wikipedia:Merging">merged</a> into an article about a larger topic or relevant list. (See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FAILN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FAILN">the advice below</a>.)</li> <li>We require the existence of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">"reliable sources"</a> so that we can be confident that we're not passing along random gossip, perpetuating hoaxes, or posting <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IINFO" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IINFO">indiscriminate collections of information</a>.</li> <li>We require that all articles rely primarily on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources" title="Wikipedia:Independent sources">"third-party" or "independent sources"</a> so that we can write a fair and balanced article that complies with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy</a> and to ensure that articles are <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTADVERTISING" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTADVERTISING">not advertising</a> a product, service, or organization. See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Autobiography" title="Wikipedia:Autobiography">Wikipedia:Autobiography</a> for discussion of neutrality concerns of self-published sources.</li> <li>We require the existence of at least one <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_primary_and_secondary_sources" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary and secondary sources">secondary source</a> so that the article can comply with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research" title="Wikipedia:No original research">Wikipedia:No original research</a>'s requirement that all articles be based on secondary sources.</li> <li>We require multiple sources so that we can write a reasonably balanced article that complies with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">Wikipedia:Neutral point of view</a>, 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.</li> <li>We require editors to use their judgment about how to organize subjects so that we have neither long, bloated articles nor <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Permastub" title="Wikipedia:Permastub">articles so narrow that they cannot be properly developed</a>. 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.

Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group.

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.

Lists that fulfill <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:LISTPURP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:LISTPURP">recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes</a> often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability.
