This information page's factual accuracy is disputed. |
This is an information page. It is not an encyclopedic article, nor one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines; rather, its purpose is to explain certain aspects of Wikipedia's norms, customs, technicalities, or practices. It may reflect differing levels of consensus and vetting. |
Articles require significant coverage
in reliable sources
Significant coverage
We need references that discuss the subject – directly, in detail. Not just passing mentions, directory listings, or any old thing that happens to have the name in it. And we need multiple references - not just one. These sources show that the subject is notable.
Reliable sources
We need sources generally trusted to tell the truth. Major newspapers. Factual, widely-published books. Or other high-quality mainstream publications which are careful about fact-checking and accuracy. Not: forums, fansites, MySpace, Facebook, or most blogs. Good sources make the text verifiable.
Independent
Nothing written by the subject or paid for by the subject. Not their website. Not a press release. We require something independent.
