This is an essay on notability. 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. |
This page in a nutshell: The requirement of significant coverage as a criterion for notability is completely unjustifiable and absurd. If a topic has received coverage (i.e. has been noticed) in independent, reliable, and verifiable source/s, however insignificant the coverage may be, the topic could be considered notable, i.e. capable of being noted or worthy of notice, and Wikipedia should have a stand-alone article on it, which makes it easy for potential readers to find the Wikipedia information on the topic through search engines, e.g. Google. |
