[edit]The editor Animalparty added a notice to this page stating, "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. Please help to establish notability by citing reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic and provide significant coverage of it beyond its mere trivial mention. If notability cannot be established, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted."
I wish to point out that this page provides information on translations of The Devil's Dictionary, which certainly qualifies as a notable book. It appears to be common on Wikipedia pages which list translations of notable literary works to not include citations of secondary sources to establish notability. Instead, the pages covering translations establish their notability by relying on the notability of the underlying literary works.
For examples, please review:
Calvin and Hobbes in translation
List of English Bible translations
List of English translations of De rerum natura
List of Book of Mormon translations
List of Latin translations of modern literature
List of translations of the Quran
Translations of Alice in Wonderland
List of translations of works by William Shakespeare
Translations of The Lord of the Rings
Translations of Through the Looking-Glass
If my memory is correct, none of these pages--some of which are years old--make any attempt to establish notability. They inherit the notability of the literary works they cover.
What can we do to have the "establish notability" notice removed?
