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: Google search results using Wikipedia's {{Find sources}} template can provide an incomplete overview of actual available sources. |
Overreliance upon Google sometimes occurs in determining and assessing notability for various topics and subjects on Wikipedia. Use of the Google search links in Wikipedia's {{Find sources}} template does not always provide all pertinent sources. However, sources can often be found by customizing search terms a bit and not relying only on Google. For more information about Google search limitations, see WP:GOOGLELIMITS.
