User:J947/Thoughts/Notability standards

I do not use this anymore, this is just a basic list of steps that should be taken.

Here are my notability standards. They are not meant to overrule notability guidelines but instead provide insight into the meanings of them.

Criterion 1

My first criterion is looking at the article itself. If it is overtly promotional then I will !vote for speedy deletion under criterion G11. If it does not provide a credible claim of importance or significance, broadly construed, then I will !vote for speedy deletion under criterion A7, etcetera.

Criterion 2

My second criterion is doing a Google search on the subject. If it returns any results then I will move on to Criterion 3. If it fails to return any results, then I will try another less restrictive search. If that fails to return any results then I will probably rethink and propose for A7 or G3.

Criterion 3

My third criterion is looking at the subject-specific guidelines which the article falls under.

• If the subject meets PROF then they will be considered notable without considering GNG per this RfC. Other guidelines are different, however, and this is just meant to be took in account.

Criterion 4

My fourth criterion is doing a Google News search. If it returns results specifically about that person then I will move on to C5.

Criterion 5

Significant coverage.

Criterion 6

Multiple sources.

Criterion 7

Reliable sources.

Criterion 8

Consideration to whether the sources found are almost duplicates.

Criterion 9

WP:NOT considerations.

Criterion 10

Editorial discretion (modern bios, stubs with a clear parent article, and tech articles only, probably).

Criterion 11

Consider alternative options instead of deletion.
