New developments
Comments on when new developments in a topic should be added to the article.
 * Talk:Black hole information paradox - publicity generated by university press releases does not make a new finding well-accepted in its field (or young researchers notable in the Wikipedia sense)

Notability
Assessing notability
 * Recommendation Guide: "How to Write an Effective Nomination" by the IEEE Fellow Committee, October 2020 - issues are similar to writing a Wikipedia article that shows both the person's professional impact and how they meet WP:NPROF. It notes that finding evidence to support a nomination for engineers in the defense industry or in proprietary fields may not be possible.

My sample comments:
 * This is an article about a topic whose only reference is a 2020 preprint. Wikipedia articles are about topics which are already well-known, not a place to put new ideas. Until this is accepted enough to be a)published in a peer review source and b) accepted by other researchers enough to be covered in review articles by authors independent of the originators, we cannot have an article. (February 2022)


 * All the references except for the textbook (no page location provided) are primary sources from the group that originated the term or from a 1982 article. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia's articles are about topics which are already well-known as shown by secondary sources such as review articles by people independent of the originators. It may be too soon to have an article. (March 2022)
