Wikipedia guideline on notability of molecular biology topics
The following is a proposed Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption.
Notability on Wikipedia is an inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic. In additional to case-by-case notability for each member of a kind, it may be possible to establish notability for all members of a kind (de facto notability) within certain parameters. This most often comes up when bulk-creating a large set of articles for a kind (e.g. species, human genes, protein superfamilies).
