test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article. For <b>people</b>, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice"<sup id="cite_ref-Encarta_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Encarta-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or "note"<sup id="cite_ref-Heritage_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Heritage-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>—that is, "remarkable"<sup id="cite_ref-Heritage_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Heritage-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"<sup id="cite_ref-Encarta_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Encarta-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. "Notable" in the sense of being famous or popular—although not irrelevant—is secondary. </p><p>This notability guideline for biographies<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> reflects <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus" title="Wikipedia:Consensus">consensus</a> reached through discussions and reinforced by established practice, and informs decisions on whether an article about a person should be written, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Merging" title="Wikipedia:Merging">merged</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy" title="Wikipedia:Deletion policy">deleted</a>, or further developed. For advice about <i>how</i> to write biographical articles, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biography" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography">Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons" title="Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons">Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons</a>. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles" title="Wikipedia:Article titles">article title</a> should define what the article is about. If there is enough valid content to fill an article about a person, then that person's name would be an appropriate title, such as <a href="/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a> or <a href="/wiki/Marie_Antoinette" title="Marie Antoinette">Marie Antoinette</a>. If, however, there is only enough information about one notable event related to the person, then the article should be titled specifically about that event, such as <a href="/wiki/Travis_Walton_incident" title="Travis Walton incident">Travis Walton incident</a>. Sometimes when a famous person dies, there is enough information for an article about their death, such as <a href="/wiki/Death_of_Michael_Jackson" title="Death of Michael Jackson">Death of Michael Jackson</a> or <a href="/wiki/Death_of_Diana,_Princess_of_Wales" title="Death of Diana, Princess of Wales">Death of Diana, Princess of Wales</a>. If a notable person's main article is too long to contain all of their works, then a separate page can be created for that information, such as <a href="/wiki/George_Orwell_bibliography" title="George Orwell bibliography">George Orwell bibliography</a>. If the person was the victim of a notable murder, then a title such as <a href="/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese" title="Murder of Kitty Genovese">Murder of Kitty Genovese</a> is appropriate. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Basic_criteria" data-mw-thread-id="h-Basic_criteria"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Basic_criteria"></span>Basic criteria<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Basic_criteria"></span></h2></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="Basic_Criteria"></span> </p> <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:Notability#General_notability_guideline" title="Wikipedia:Notability">Wikipedia:Notability § General notability guideline</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:BASIC"></span><span id="WP:NBASIC"></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:BASIC&redirect=no">WP:BASIC</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NBASIC&redirect=no">WP:NBASIC</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>People are presumed <strong>notable</strong> if they have received significant coverage in <strong>multiple published</strong><sup id="cite_ref-note2_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-note2-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <strong><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources" title="Wikipedia:No original research">secondary sources</a></strong> that are <strong><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">reliable</a></strong>, <strong>intellectually independent</strong> of each other,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <strong><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources" title="Wikipedia:Independent sources">independent of the subject</a></strong>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.<sup id="cite_ref-note5_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-note5-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PRIMARY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PRIMARY">Primary sources</a> may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.</li></ul> <p>People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below.

be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. In considering whether to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered. The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified.<sup id="cite_ref-BLP1E_versus_BIO1E_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BLP1E_versus_BIO1E-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. The assassins of major political leaders, such as <a href="/wiki/Gavrilo_Princip" title="Gavrilo Princip">Gavrilo Princip</a>, fit into this category, as indicated by the large coverage of the event in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliable sources</a> that devotes significant attention to the individual's role. </p><p>When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, and little or no other information is available to use in the writing of a balanced biography, an independent article may not be needed. That person should be covered in an article regarding the event, and the person's name should be redirected to it. For example, <a href="/wiki/George_Holliday_(witness)" class="mw-redirect" title="George Holliday (witness)">George Holliday</a>, who videotaped the Rodney King beating, redirects to <a href="/wiki/Rodney_King" title="Rodney King">Rodney King</a>. On the other hand, if a significant event is of rare importance, even relatively minor participants may warrant their own articles. An example of this is <a href="/wiki/Howard_Brennan" title="Howard Brennan">Howard Brennan</a>, a witness to the JFK assassination. </p><p>Another issue arises when an individual plays a major role in a minor event. In this case, it is not generally appropriate to have separate articles on the person and the event. Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident, especially if the individual is only notable for that incident and it is all that the person is associated with in the source coverage. For example, the disambiguation page <a href="/wiki/Travis_Walton" class="mw-disambig" title="Travis Walton">Travis Walton</a> redirects those looking for <a href="/wiki/Travis_Walton_UFO_incident" class="mw-redirect" title="Travis Walton UFO incident">Travis Walton UFO incident</a>. In some cases, however, a person famous for only one event may be more widely known than the event itself, for example, the <a href="/wiki/Tank_Man" title="Tank Man">Tank Man</a>. In such cases, the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved. </p><p>Editors are advised to be aware of issues of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WEIGHT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WEIGHT">weight</a> and to avoid the creation of unnecessary <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PSEUDO" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PSEUDO">pseudo-biographies</a>, especially of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLP">living people</a>. </p><p>It is important to remember that "notable" is not a synonym for "famous". Someone may have become famous due to one event, but may nevertheless be notable for more than one event.

"Intellectual independence" requires not only that the content of sources be non-identical, but also that the entirety of content in a published work not be derived from (or based in) another work (partial derivations are acceptable). For example, a speech by a politician about a particular person contributes toward establishing the notability of that person, but multiple reproductions of the transcript of that speech by different news outlets do not.

The barometer of notability is whether people <em>independent</em> of the subject itself have actually considered the subject notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it. Thus, entries in biographical dictionaries that accept self-nominations (such as the <a href="/wiki/Marquis_Who%27s_Who" title="Marquis Who's Who">Marquis Who's Who</a>) do not contribute toward notability, nor do web pages about an organization's own staff or members.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-note5-7"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-note5_7-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Non-triviality is a measure of the depth of content of a published work, and how far removed that content is from a simple directory entry or a mention in passing ("John Smith at Big Company said..." or "Mary Jones was hired by My University") that does not discuss the subject in detail. A credible 200-page independent biography of a person that covers that person's life in detail is non-trivial, whereas a birth certificate or a 1-line listing on an election ballot form is not.
