What are Wikipedia's notability guidelines?
Wikipedia's notability guidelines determine whether a topic is worthy of its own article. A subject is presumed notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject itself. 'Significant coverage' means deeply addressing the topic, while 'reliable' refers to sources with editorial integrity that allow for verifiable evaluation of notability[1][3].
Not every subject with coverage meets the notability standard; sources must be independent and provide substantial depth rather than trivial mentions. The guidelines also emphasize that simply being famous or important does not guarantee notability[2][4][5]. Ultimately, notability is assessed through the quality and quantity of independent reliable sources available regarding the subject[6].
