Notability
If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.


 * "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive.
 * "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
 * "Sources," for notability purposes, should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally preferred.
 * "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including (but not limited to): self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc.
 * "Presumed" means that substantive coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, of notability. Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not suitable for inclusion. For example, it may violate what Wikipedia is not.

What Wikipedia is not

 * A dictionary &mdash; not applicable
 * A publisher of original thought &mdash; not applicable, we should provide purely factual information with sources for as much as possible
 * A soapbox &dash; neither Darryl or I have any connection to NZ Communications, we should write it in an objective, unbiased style
 * A mirror or repository of links, images or media files &mdash; not applicable
 * A blog, webspace provider, social networking or memorial site &mdash not applicable
 * A directory &mdash; not applicable
 * A manual, guidebook or textbook &mdash; not applicable
 * A crystal ball &mdash; we need to be careful of this, we should write about what is true now (which can include the company's stated plans as long as these are appropriately attributed)
 * Censored &mdash; not applicable

Notability requires verifiable evidence
Sources below are all verifiability. Satisified.

Notability is not temporary
A third nationwide cellphone network in New Zealand is not of temporary notability. No one would question that it will be notable after it's full launch what has been questioned is its notability leading up to that launch. The sources below prove that has notability during this lead-up phase. Satisified.
