About this page

[edit]
  • This will never be policy. It is just designed to help you and others to determine which articles are suitable to be included in Wikipedia.
  • It is not intended to be the last word, rather it is just the first place you might look to see what other people think, particularly in cases that you think are borderline.
  • In particular, it should never itself be quoted as a policy document. It is in some ways a summary of the policies, but the policies themselves, if they exist at all, are elsewhere.
  • Each entry is one user's opinion.
  • Keep all discussion confined to the talk page only.

      4. are of such economic importance that Wikipedia's mention cannot in itself have any significant promotional effect, and cannot credibly be the motive for inserting the article. That is: Wikipedia is not a vehicle for creating "buzz."

Postamble

[edit]

If none of the above match what you want to decide, don't worry. Do any of them, in other fields perhaps, give you an idea of the level of detail that might be appropriate? If they do, then this page has succeeded. And either way, once your question is definitively answered, come back and add your new knowledge to the list above!



This material was originally at the top of the page, but was moved here as an effort to reduce instruction creep.

This page is an opportunity to express your opinions, rather than a proposed policy such as Wikipedia:Importance.

Each day many decisions are made as to what subjects are encyclopedic, that is, what articles belong in Wikipedia. These include decisions as to how to vote on AfD, as to whether to write a particular article at all and what to call it if so, and about what to write in policy, talk and help pages.

There is information in many places relevant to these decisions. One function of this page is to bring as much as possible of that information together, for quick reference.

An entry is an indication of how a particular user thinks they would vote on AfD, no more and no less. It is signed but undated, and should be updated or deleted by the user if their views change so that it no longer accurately reflects them. Entries should only ever be changed or deleted by the user who signs them, with two exceptions, see below.

For examples of how people have previously voted at AfD, see AfD Precedents.

This page exists from long before categories were used in Wikipedia. "What's in, what's out" discussions regarding categories are at Wikipedia:categorization and Wikipedia:categorization of people

Summary

[edit]

Definitions

[edit]

A type or class of topic is called a class of articles or simply a class below.

A subclass of a given class is a class that is a proper subset of the given class. That is, a class contains all the members of its subclass, and some others.

A superclass of a given class is one that has the given class as a subclass. That is, a superclass contains all the members of the class of which it is a superclass, and some others.

When subclass and superclass are used together, it just means that the subclass is a subclass of the superclass. This is to avoid using terms like the original class.

An encyclopedic article is one we want in Wikipedia.

Arrangement of entries

[edit]

All entries have at least one * and may in theory have any number of them. This is used to indicate logical nesting of classes and categories.

An entry that relates to a subclass of another entry should follow after that entry, and be bulleted one level deeper. It will not always immediately follow its superclass entry, but there should not be any intermediate entries on the same or any shallower bullet level than the superclass.

An entry that supports or contradicts another entry for exactly the same class or set of articles should be bulleted to the same level, and should be immediately adjacent to it and other entries for the same set of articles (either above or below).

Where classes overlap but neither is a subset of the other, there is no single correct nesting. This will not be rare, and may make the page harder to interpret but not impossible. Duplicate, overlapping, and contradicting entries are all quite OK, see below.

The list will be sorted alphabetically (perhaps a bit roughly) at each level, in a heirarchical fashion to keep subclasses of every class together. The order of identical entries is undefined.

It's not as complicated as it sounds! These rules only really matter if you're thinking of rearranging the order of the entries. If you're just adding entries, a few added out of order won't hurt, and others will soon fix them.

When entries are added or reordered, it may be necessary to change the level of entries. That's fine. This situation and removing superflous material are the only times you should change an entry signed by someone else.

Some principles

[edit]
  1. If something has any valid reason for being encyclopedic then it is. It may fail three relevant tests and pass only one. It's in on the strength of that one.
  2. If something is mentioned in an article that doesn't necessarily make it encyclopedic in its own right. A famous singer may warrant an article, while her pet just gets a mention in her article.
  3. A member of almost any class could be encyclopedic. One might argue that individual trees are not encyclopedic, but the Royal Oak certainly is. A vote of "In" for a class says that things in that class are inherently encyclopedic.

Editing and using the entries

[edit]

This list will always be incomplete, and may contain many redundancies and contradictions. That doesn't matter. It's not a policy. It's just to give an idea.

If you see an entry without a policy link and you know one, or there is one and you know a better one, just add a supporting entry on the same bullet level, and immediately below the existing entry. Don't change an entry signed by someone else. In particular don't change their description, even to wikify it. Your link may not reflect what they meant to say! Add you own entry instead, under theirs.

Don't remove a properly formed and signed entry unless you are quite sure that it is vandalism. Then move it to the talk page, and give your reasons there. One that you are just quite sure is wrong should stay. It's just one user's opinion. Add your own to balance it.

And if you see an entry that puzzles you, or which you feel should be changed, feel free to contact the user who left it, on their user talk page.

The entries

Feel free to add any you think are helpful. This is not a vote. It will just help others to get a feel for what the community thinks of a proposed article, before they actually create it.
