This page in a nutshell: This essay addresses possible misinterpretations related to WP:NF's "Other evidence of notability". That section is Not a guideline mandate, and only acts to offer examples of situations that are intended to encourage editorial diligence in seeking verifiability. |
The attributes listed as "Other evidence of notability" as described in WP:Notability (films) are not mandated requirements which must exist, but are presented within that guideline as a list of examples and situations to encourage due diligence in editors looking for sources that provide proper verifiability of assertions within a film article. If the attributes offered for consideration are not met, it does not mean a film is somehow and automatically non-notable, as notability is dependent upon verifiability, and even the least of sources that offer the mandated verifiability need not themselves be significant coverage, as WP:V and WP:SIGCOV should not be confused with each other. Though the two are related, they mean different things.
