iconThis page in a nutshell: Notability requiressignificant coverage by reliable sources. Trivial mentions are not enough.

Thegeneral notability guideline clearly states that sources that only contain a "trivial mention" of a topic are insufficient to establish that topic's notability.

Summary

[edit]

Wikipedia articlesneed to include verifiable evidence of the topic's notability fromreliableindependent sources. The guideline states that these sources need to provide "significant coverage" of the topic, and this coverage must consist of more than a "trivial mention".

Quotes fromWikipedia:Notability

[edit]

Thegeneral notability guideline states that:

  • "If a topic has receivedsignificant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list."

The meaning ofsignificant coverage is explained:

  • "'Significant coverage' means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than atrivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material."

A bullet point indicates the meaning oftrivial mention using an example:

  • "Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that 'In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice' is plainly a trivial mention of that band."
