If a notability judgment comes down to whether or not an inaccessible or unreadable source contains significant coverage of a subject, make an educated guess as to whether the source is likely to contain such coverage, based on its title and publication details. If need be, it is reasonable to ask the editor that added the sources to provide samples or translations of the content, although this may potentially be non-trivial effort for the other editor. The extent to which you require the other editor to provide verifiable scans, as opposed to mere transcriptions should be based on standard <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AGF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AGF">AGF</a> principles. </p><p>For most languages other than English that you're likely to come across in article submissions, Google Translate is sufficient for assessing whether a reference has significant coverage of a subject and verifying important claims. It may be insufficient for assessing the reliability of a source, and it may also be difficult to search for additional coverage of a subject in a language that you lack proficiency in. Consider leaving articles in unfamiliar languages to editors that are more proficient, although at a certain point our team of reviewers only has so many language proficiencies and you may need to make decisions about such articles with incomplete information. Editors interested in spending a significant amount of time reviewing pages may want to consider studying additional languages. Even minimal proficiency in a language can be extremely helpful. In the case of languages that use other alphabets, it can be useful even just to learn how to phonetically read the alphabet so that you can identify names. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Subject-specific_guides" data-mw-thread-id="h-Subject-specific_guides"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Subject-specific_guides"></span>Subject-specific guides<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Subject-specific_guides"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Quick_guide_to_reviewing_new_articles&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Subject-specific guides"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Biographies" data-mw-thread-id="h-Biographies-Subject-specific_guides"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Biographies-Subject-specific_guides"></span>Biographies<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Biographies-Subject-specific_guides"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Quick_guide_to_reviewing_new_articles&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Biographies"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NBIO" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NBIO">WP:NBIO</a></div> <p>Biographies of living people are one of the most problem-rife types of new articles due to people attempting to use the site as an outlet for self-promotion.

The subject-specific notability guides for these subjects specifies that charting is a likely indicator of notability: in practice, unless there are several reasons to suspect that significant coverage does not exist of an album or song that has charted, an article about an album that has charted is extremely unlikely to be found not notable at AfD. Note that even RS sometimes run short pieces that are more of a promotional piece than a real review; such pieces should be assessed for their depth of coverage, and are marginally more acceptable for songs than for albums. You should also be mindful of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BIAS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BIAS">systemic bias</a> when evaluating music coverage. </p><p>Songs that are not notable should be pointed to albums, and albums that are not notable should be converted to redirects pointing to either the recording artist, or if applicable, a discography page for the recording artist.
