[edit] policy on notability of people
I'm pasting the items from Wikipedia:Notability (people) that seem potentially relevant to me. I hope subsequent arguments for notability will quote from here specifically: -Pete 22:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- The person has been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may need to be cited to establish notability.
- Trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.3
- Once notability is established, primary sources may be used to add content.
- The person has been the subject of a credible independent biography.
- The person has received significant recognized awards or honors.
