Template:Notability/doc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability. This template is a self-reference. It should never be used with Wikipedia:Subst.
Providing no arguments to the template will result in a generic but rather verbose message with a comprehensive list of notability guidelines. An optional argument renders the message more specific. Specific options include:
- Academics
- Biographies
- Books
- Companies
- Episode (for TV episodes)
- Fiction
- Institutions
- Music
- Neologisms
- Numbers
- Organizations or Organisations
- Products
- Web
Else, you can use:
- Notability. In this case, only the main notability guideline article is referenced.
- Proposed. In this case a second argument is required to provide a link to the proposed guideline.
- For example,
{{notability|Proposed|[[Wikipedia:Notability (software)]]}}.
- Other. For forward compatibility with new guidelines that have not yet been given a syntactic shortcut in this template. A second argument is required as a link to the guideline.
- For example, were "Music" not already supported, one could use:
{{notability|Other|[[Wikipedia:Notability (music)|Music]]}}.
Use this template When an article subject is mostly likely non-notable. Use {{Importance}} instead when the subject probably is notable enough, but the article fails to establish notability (as is often the case with short stub articles, and sometimes those with a lot of minutiae but an underdeveloped "big picture"). And when an article is certainly, hopelessly non-notable take it to Articles for deletion.
