Wikipedia Notability: What It Is & Why It Matters

One of the biggest challenges in creating a Wikipedia page is meeting Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. Without adequate media coverage and reliable sources, a Wikipedia page is likely to be flagged or deleted. At American Wiki Publisher, we conduct thorough notability assessments to ensure that our clients meet Wikipedia’s requirements.

What Is Wikipedia Notability?

Wikipedia defines notability as having significant, independent coverage in well-established sources. This means the subject must be covered in multiple third-party articles, ensuring credibility and verifiability.

Why Notability Matters for Wikipedia Pages

Wikipedia is not a self-publishing platform—it requires objective, independent verification. If a subject lacks notability, the page risks deletion, as Wikipedia does not allow promotional or self-referenced content.

How to Establish Notability

To be considered notable, a person or business should have coverage in:

• • Major news publications (Forbes, The New York Times, BBC, etc.)
• • Industry journals or research articles
• • Books or authoritative biographies

How American Wiki Publisher Ensures Notability Compliance

Our team evaluates existing coverage, identifies gaps, and strengthens Wikipedia submissions with verified citations from reliable, independent sources. If a subject lacks sufficient coverage, we provide guidance on how to enhance notability before submission.

Ensuring Wikipedia notability is the first step to a successful page. Let American Wiki Publisher help you assess, build, and maintain a Wikipedia page that stands the test of time.
