WHY THIS MATTERS

Wikipedia Notability Is Not About How Important You Think You Are

Wikipedia's notability standards are based on one thing: whether a subject has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Your revenue, your follower count, your years in business — none of these determine Wikipedia eligibility. Only the sources do.

Many people invest time and money in Wikipedia pages that get deleted because no one assessed eligibility properly upfront. Our notability assessment prevents this. We review your actual sources, evaluate them against Wikipedia's guidelines, and give you an honest verdict before any writing begins.

WHAT WE ASSESS

What Our Notability Assessment Covers

Source Quality Analysis

We evaluate every piece of media coverage you have — assessing the publication's reliability, independence, and whether it constitutes "significant" coverage under Wikipedia's standards.

General Notability Test

We apply Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline — the baseline standard that applies to all subjects — and assess whether your existing coverage meets the threshold.

Subject-Specific Criteria

Wikipedia has specific notability guidelines for different subject types — people, organisations, companies, books, events. We apply the right criteria for your specific case.

Gap Identification

If you fall short of the notability threshold, we identify exactly which sources are missing, how many more you need, and what type of coverage would close the gap.

Timeline Estimate

When a subject does not currently qualify, we give an honest estimate of how long it would take to build the necessary coverage — and what steps would accelerate that timeline.

Written Assessment Report

Every assessment comes with a written report summarising our findings, the sources evaluated, our notability verdict, and our recommended next steps.

Our Honest Policy: If you do not qualify for a Wikipedia page, we will tell you clearly — and explain exactly why. We do not accept projects that are unlikely to succeed. This policy protects our clients from wasted investment and protects Wikipedia's integrity.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Notability Assessment FAQ

What sources count as reliable for Wikipedia notability?

Reliable sources for Wikipedia purposes include national and major regional news outlets, established industry trade publications, peer-reviewed academic journals, and mainstream books published by credible publishers. Press releases, company websites, self-published blogs, and social media do not count — even if they have large audiences.

How many sources do I need to qualify?

Wikipedia's guidelines do not specify a minimum number, but in practice, two or three strong, in-depth articles from reliable publications are typically the minimum needed to establish notability. More sources mean a stronger, more defensible article. Our assessment identifies exactly what you have and what you need.

Can local news coverage count toward notability?

Local news can contribute to notability, but it typically carries less weight than national coverage. For businesses and individuals with primarily local or regional profiles, it is possible to qualify based on regional sources — but the articles need to be substantive and there typically needs to be more of them to compensate for the smaller publication reach.

What if I was covered in one major national outlet and nothing else?

A single article in a major national outlet may establish some notability, but Wikipedia editors generally expect multiple independent sources to confirm that a subject has received ongoing significant coverage — not just a single mention. We assess the depth and substance of coverage, not just the outlet name.

What happens after I get my assessment?

If you qualify, we provide a project proposal and begin the Wikipedia page creation process. If you do not qualify yet, we give you a clear roadmap — the specific types of coverage needed, the publications that would carry the most weight, and the timeline to realistically achieve notability. Many clients return 6–12 months later once they have built the necessary coverage.
