Above all else, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. This means that items in Wikipedia have to be
important
enough to be considered encyclopedic.
What is Notability?
If a topic has received
significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.
A topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple
non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject itself and of each other. To be included in Wikipedia all topics must meet a minimum level of notability. This ensures that there are enough sources to write a verifiable, encyclopedic
article about the topic without making anything up.
What Wikipedia is not: In addition to the notability criteria described above, the entry must also be encyclopedic in nature. Items such as FAQs, video game guides, memorials, instruction manuals, directories, lists of links, advertising, self-promotion, and dictionary definitions are not encyclopedic and will probably be quickly deleted.
Does your proposed article meet the notability requirements?
