User:J947/Thoughts/Notability standards

Here are my notability standards. They are not meant to overrule notability guidelines but instead provide insight into the meanings of them.

Criterion 1

edit

My first criterion is looking at the article itself. If it is overtly promotional then I will !vote for speedy deletion under criterion G11. If it does not provide a credible claim of importance or significance, broadly construed, then I will !vote for speedy deletion under criterion A7, etcetera.

Criterion 2

edit

My second criterion is doing a Google search on the subject. If it returns any results then I will move on to Criterion 3. If it fails to return any results, then I will try another less restrictive search. If that fails to return any results then I will probably rethink and propose for A7 or G3.

Criterion 3

edit

My third criterion is looking at the subject-specific guidelines which the article falls under.

  • If the subject meets PROF then they will be considered notable without considering GNG per this RfC. Other guidelines are different, however, and this is just meant to be took in account.

Criterion 4

edit

My fourth criterion is doing a Google News search. If it returns results specifically about that person then I will move on to C5.

Criterion 5

edit

Significant coverage.

Criterion 6

edit

Multiple sources.

Criterion 7

edit

Reliable sources.

Criterion 8

edit

Consideration to whether the sources found are almost duplicates.

Criterion 9

edit

WP:NOT considerations.

Criterion 10

edit

Editorial discretion (modern bios, stubs with a clear parent article, and tech articles only, probably).

Criterion 11

edit

Consider alternative options instead of deletion.
