Ideas related to science are an important part of any comprehensive encyclopedia. This guideline and its criteria are intended for use in determining whether a topic is notable due to being a part of or related to science. The tests in this guideline are intended to be fairly rigirous so that a topic that is acceptable under this guideline can be considered an appropriate part of Wikipedia. However, the failure of a topic to meet this guideline's criteria does not automatically exclude it, as it may attain notability through WP:N itself or another of its subsidiary guidelines.
