Template:Notability/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Notability (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage[edit]

Add this template to the top of any page whose article subject is, in your judgment, reasonably likely to be non-notable (not the sort of subject that Festipedia ought to have an article about). When an article is certainly, hopelessly non-notable, then you should nominate it for proposed deletion or take it to Articles for deletion instead.

Deletion is not clean up. Do not use this tag merely because the page requires significant work. Notability requires only that appropriate sources have been published about the subject. It does not require that any editor has already named these sources, followed the neutral, encyclopedic style, or otherwise written a good article.

{{Notability|date=November 2024}}

Note: Insert the actual month and year that you place the template on the page. Do not use the automatic {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} templates.

The notability template should never be used with subst.

This template will add the article to Category:All articles with topics of unclear notability and Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability from November 2024, both hidden categories.

Removing this tag[edit]

If you find an article that is tagged as having notability concerns, and you are certain that enough in-depth, independent sources have been published about the subject to overcome any notability issues, then you may remove this tag. It is highly desirable, but not technically required, for you to add a list of good sources to the article or its talk page, so that other editors will know about the existence of these sources.

If the template is re-added, please do not edit war over it. Questions of notability can be resolved through discussion or through Festipedia:Articles for deletion.
