Hello, and 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.

Notability
 PART 1 

Questions
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia? Are there any reasons for allowing non-notable content on Wikipedia?
 * Question 1


 * Answer: In Wikipedia, notability is the benchmark in deciding whether a topic or information is justifiable to be tabled as an article. As per WP:FAILN, non-notable content with closely related notable articles or lists are often merged into those corresponding notable pages.
 * ✅ As a follow up to this, you say that notability is the benchmark that is used for deciding whether the topic should be made into an article. In reality, a topic's notability is just one requirement, and the notability that the topic possesses is not the only determinant. Wikipedians can use the general notability guidelines to determine whether a topic is notable enough for a standalone page. However, a topic being notable does not justify a page's creation, as there are still other criteria that it must meet. Regardless, you were mostly in the right here, and you should be fine as long as you read this.

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


 * Answer: As per WP:NOTGUIDE, "Change a car tire" cannot be considered a notable topic because Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not an instruction manual, guidebook, or textbook.
 * ✅ Correct reference page as well, good answer. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:26, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

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


 * Answer: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject then its WP:GNG whereas the subject-specific notability guidelines provides information on how to make an editorial decision based on particular subject specialty. In simple words, subject-specific notability guidelines arises due to commonalities of the topics whereas WP:GNG applies to every article. If an article falls broadly under as a single subject like Academics, Astronomical objects, Books, Events, Films, Geographic features, Music, Numbers, Organizations, People, Sports, and Web-content then we need to follow corresponding subject-specific guidelines else as it do not cover the mentioned or is a multiple combination of the above then its better to go by WP:GNG.
 * The first half was correct. You were right in saying that the GNG do apply to all articles, but the two are not mutually exclusive. When patrolling articles, we should first check whether a subject-specific notability guideline can be applied. If it does, then the article should be checked for notability using it. If the topic meets an SNG and doesn't have any other problems, then the page can be patrolled. If there is no applicable SNG guideline that can be used, then this step is skipped and the article should be subjected to the general notability guidelines. If multiple subject-specific notability guidelines are applicable, then the article should be judged under both SNGs. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:26, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

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

Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
 * Notability (people) ✅
 * Notability (organizations and companies), these notability guidelines are generally more strict concerning our coverage of companies and organizations. We are very solid on our position of using independent sources when it pertains to organizations, and try to steer away from using press releases in these articles, unless they are in an external links section. Regardless, these are additional considerations rather than exceptions, so this should be in column 2. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Notability (astronomical objects) ✅
 * Notability (geographic features) ✅

Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
 * Notability (web) ✅
 * Notability (books), these guidelines allow for a greater coverage of books by adding additional notability criteria for articles in this topic, but at the same time add restrictions, because anyone could figuratively author and self-publish a book, so we do have restrictions. This criteria falls under column 3. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Notability (events) ✅

Even mix of the previous two categories
 * Notability (sports), these guidelines outline more circumstances where articles on athletes would be allowed, and do not cover any restrictions on these types of articles. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Notability (music) ✅
 * Notability (films) ✅
 * Notability (numbers) ✅
 * Notability (academics), these guidelines provide additional criteria for academics, and once again do not touch on restrictions for these types of articles. This should probably be in column 1. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

2. Virtually all SNGs that provide additional notability criteria specify that these criteria may indicate that the subject meets notability guidelines. How would you interpret this caveat as a new page reviewer?


 * Answer: As a new page reviewer it establishes the point that WP:N should be the first criteria in judging pages and SNGs provides additional tools that are specialized in nature for determining notability. In review process, SNGs are a helping hand to WP:N.
 * ✅, this is fine. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:31, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Scenarios
For scenarios 1-5 review just based on "subject notability guidelines" (SNG) "alone" for sake of the exercise. Do not consider any sources or other policies. Please answer if the subject meets the SNG guidelines based on the given content below, and specify which notability criteria they meet or fail.

For scenarios 6-10 specify which SNGs would establish the subject's notability.

An editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2020 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
 * Scenario 1
 * The subject is not notable because it has no reliable sources, an essential criteria for article to be WP:N. But as for WP:NOLYMPICS, its a notable event if provided with well documented sources as explained clearly in point no. 1 under WP:NOTCRYSTAL
 * ✅, I was really looking for the second half. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

A New York city based 2020 start up software company, specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
 * Scenario 2
 * The subject is not notable because quantity does not determine significance. It is the quality of the content that governs. Its clearly mentioned in WP:ORGDEPTH under WP:ORG

Movsar Evloev who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-0.
 * Scenario 3
 * The subject is notable as it fulfills criteria listed in WP:NMMA under WP:NSPORT
 * While that IS the correct guideline, the subject actually does NOT meet the criteria, as they have only fought in two professional fights, while we require three. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

An upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported will be in production in December 2019 and to be released on August 2020 in the cinemas.
 * Scenario 4
 * The subject is not notable as generally these should not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines mentioned on last paragraph of WP:NFF under WP:NFILM

A singer who self produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify.
 * Scenario 5
 * The subject is not notable as Spotify is not a notable resource of song listing evident from WP:WHYNOGARAGE and as per WP:NALBUM under WP:NMG


 * Scenario 6

Carlos Alós-Ferrer
 * Notability (academics) ✅

Alistair Overeem
 * Scenario 7
 * Notability (sports) ✅

Jennifer Lopez
 * Scenario 8
 * Notability (music) ✅
 * Notability (people) (The music guidelines would be more helpful for this case, and should be looked at first.) Utopes (talk / cont) 22:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Three Mile Island accident
 * Scenario 9
 * Notability (events) ✅

Persepolis
 * Scenario 10
 * Notability (geographic features) ✅

Background for trainees

 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. As such, claims made in articles should be supported by independent (secondary), reliable sources for verification. Please read WP:RS, WP:IS, WP:RSP, WP:V, WP:PROVEIT, WP:Primary, WP:Secondary, and WP:Tertiary.


 * You can contact WP:RX if you could not find the sources yourself either on the web due to paywalls or offline-only sources.

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home.
