User:Rosguill/MarioJump83 NPPSCHOOL

Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).

Make sure you read through Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

This page will be built up over your time in the School, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
 * How to use this page

If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.

, please begin below whenever you like. signed,Rosguill talk 04:58, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Notability
 PART 1 

Questions
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia?
 * Question 1

Would step by step instructions on "How to change a car tire" be considered a notable topic in Wikipedia? Why or why not?
 * Question 2

What are the differences between the WP:GNG and the subject-specific notability guidelines? How do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
 * Question 3

Answers
In my own words, notability is defined on Wikipedia by extensive and/or in depth coverage by numerous reliable sources, i.e. NOAA TCRs and independent media like The Indian Express.  Mario Jump  83!  (6 January)
 * Answering Question 1:

This is something I would have seen on WikiHow. While the step by step instructions on how to change a car tire is definitely one of many notable topics, the topic is not suitable for Wikipedia. As such, these are not considered to be a notable topic in Wikipedia.  Mario Jump  83!  (6 January)
 * Answering Question 2:

The differences between GNG and SNG is that GNG is based on notability of the topic, while SNG is based on the accomplishments of the subject or what has been determined by the consensus on a subject that has accomplished in the specific area. If I were to patrol subjects like Actias keralana, I would have been using GNG. Meanwhile, if I were to patrol Satyasagara, then SNG would be used. In this case, it would be WP:NFOOTBALL.

 * Answering Question 3:
 * ❌, GNG applies to all articles. If an article meets GNG or a relevant SNG, that will generally be enough to establish its notability. In the case of SNGs that have subjective criteria (such as the requirement of "multiple significant roles" in WP:NACTOR), the extent to which a subject meets the SNG criteria should be taken as a signal alongside its sourcing when evaluating its notability. For example, if a subject has had supporting roles in multiple notable films, together with coverage that almost meets GNG, they can be considered notable, whereas a subject that had the same roles but much weaker sourcing would probably end up deleted. In extreme circumstances, even subjects that clearly meet an SNG still end up deleted if the coverage is very lacking and additional coverage is highly unlikely to exist (for example, consider a song by a non-notable artist, released in the 2010s, that charts on an obscure genre chart such as Billboard Holiday but for which no secondary coverage is available on the internet). signed,Rosguill talk 16:47, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This is why I didn't get to answer this question until recently. It was very hard for me to answer.  Mario Jump  83!  07:33, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

By the way MarioJump83, you can add your answers immediately below the questions, no need to carve out a separate subsection heading. signed,Rosguill talk 16:47, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Subject-specific notability guidelines
1. Please categorize the subject-specific notability guidelines (listed at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines) into the following three categories

Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability


 * Notability (music) this is more of an even mix, as the WP:MUSICBIO section includes provisions about when not to create articles about band members
 * Notability (media) ✅
 * Notability (people) ✅
 * Notability (sports) ✅
 * Notability (web) ✅

Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
 * Notability (academics) ❌, this guideline is primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
 * Notability (books) ❌, this guideline is primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
 * Notability (geographic features) ❌, this guideline is primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
 * Notability (numbers) this is more of an even mix

Even mix of the previous two categories
 * Notability (astronomical objects) ❌, this guideline is primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
 * Notability (films) ✅
 * Notability (events), this guideline is primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
 * Notability (organizations and companies) ❌, this is possibly the strictest SNG we have, and is primarily additional restrictions, which are necessary because of the high volume of promotional coverage of organizations and companies


 * There are 12 SNGs, and categorizing them will take some time, since I have to read all of them. I'll take this slow and steady. I have full intention of getting this finished, though.  Mario Jump  83!  12:06, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, I'll hold off on grading until you've completed it. signed,Rosguill talk 16:20, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Done! What a week.  Mario Jump  83!  01:58, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , graded. Looking at your answers, my guess is that you may have taken some of the SNGs' restatements of GNG or standard verifiability processes as additional restrictions, even where they are redundant with existing policies and guidelines that apply to all articles. I'd like to pause here in case you have any questions, but otherwise we can move on to the next section. signed,Rosguill talk 16:41, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem, I am willing to learn more and more. Let's move to the next section.  Mario Jump  83!  22:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Scenarios
For the following scenarios, review just based on "subject notability guidelines" (SNG) "alone" for sake of the exercise. Do not consider any sources or other policies.
