About Notability

Notability is the content inclusion criteria policy for Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia and Wiktionary. It is a Wikimedia project page and an inclusion policy that defines which topics qualify for coverage in each content project.
Notability is the inclusion policy that decides which topics deserve their own article on a Wikimedia project. When pages are flagged, deleted, or refused at creation, this policy is usually the reason. This status page tracks reported problems with accessing or applying notability guidelines, from slow guideline pages to broken links in editing tools.
Notability is a content policy, not a piece of software. It sets the criteria a topic must meet before it gets a standalone article, usually relying on significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Related pages include project scope policies and per-language versions of the guideline. Common issues are editorial rather than technical. Articles get nominated for deletion, drafts are declined at the submission queue, and new editors see warnings they do not expect. These processes depend on wiki servers, templates, and review tools, so outages elsewhere can make the workflow stall. On your side, check that you are reading the current version of the guideline for your language edition, since wording differs between projects. Clear your browser cache if a page renders incorrectly, and confirm you are signed in if your editing tools stop responding.

Questions

Why was my article declined for notability?

Reviewers look for significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. If such sources are missing or too brief, the draft is declined. The notice usually lists what to add, and you can resubmit once better references are in place.

Do all Wikimedia projects use the same notability rules?

No. Each language edition and each project, such as Wiktionary or Wikiversity, sets its own inclusion criteria. Always read the policy page for the specific project you are editing before creating a new article.
