An explanation of notability
[edit]- A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Notability is not inherited. If one subject is notable (a style of art), related subjects (individual artists) are not inherently notable.
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
