Sources of evidence include recognized peer reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally.</p> <p>Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Notability requires only the <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Published" title="Wikipedia:Published"><i>existence</i></a> of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">citation</a>. Wikipedia articles are <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IMPERFECT" title="Wikipedia:IMPERFECT" class="mw-redirect">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. 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.

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 <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ILIKEIT" title="Wikipedia:ILIKEIT" class="mw-redirect">likes</a> or <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT" title="Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT" class="mw-redirect">dislikes</a>. Wikipedia is a <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTPAPER" title="Wikipedia:NOTPAPER" class="mw-redirect">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="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_presidential_campaign,_2012#Other_initiatives" title="Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2012">Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2012#Other initiatives</a> and <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney_presidential_campaign,_2012#International_trip" title="Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012">Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012#International trip</a>, for example). Other times, standalone pages are well justified (as with <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/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="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DUE" title="Wikipedia:DUE" class="mw-redirect">due and undue weight</a>. <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/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="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_the_Final_Fantasy_VII_series" title="Music of the Final Fantasy VII series">Music of the Final Fantasy VII 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="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/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="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PERMASTUB" title="Wikipedia:PERMASTUB" class="mw-redirect">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.

Other times, a future event may clearly be suitable for a standalone page before it happens (such as the <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Summer_Olympics" title="2020 Summer Olympics">2020 Summer Olympics</a>).</li> </ul> <p><a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_notability_guidelines" title="Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines">Subject-specific notability guidelines</a> and <a href="/web/20150324194702/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Advice_pages" title="Wikipedia:Advice pages" class="mw-redirect">WikiProject advice pages</a> may provide information on how to make these editorial decisions in particular subject areas.

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.
