A '''topic''' is ''presumed'' to be notable if it has received significant coverage in [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that are [[Wikipedia:Verifiability#Sources|independent]] of the subject.

 

* ''"Significant coverage"'' means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and [[Wikipedia:No original research|no original research]] is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive.<ref>Examples: The 360-page book by Sobel and the 528-page book by Black on [[IBM]] are plainly non-trivial. The one sentence mention by Walker of the band ''Three Blind Mice'' in a biography of [[Bill Clinton]] ({{cite news|title=Tough love child of Kennedy|author=Martin Walker|date=[[1992-01-06]]|work=[[The Guardian]]|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1240962,00.html}}) is plainly trivial.</ref>

* ''"Reliable"'' means sources need editorial integrity to allow [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]] evaluation of notability, per [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|the reliable source guideline]]. Sources may encompass [[Publication|published]] works in all forms and media. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject are a good test for notability.<ref>Self-promotion, autobiography, and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopedia article. The published works should be ''someone else'' writing independently about the topic. (See [[Wikipedia:Autobiography]] for the attribution and neutrality problems that affect material where the subject of the article itself is the source of the material. Also see [[Wikipedia:Independent sources]].) The barometer of notability is whether people ''independent'' of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it. </ref>
