 | This is an essay on Wikipedia's concept of "notability" and how it differs from the more common English usage of the word. It is not policy, but is an attempt to help new editors understand that what may sound like a painful insult is not intended as one.. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
