What "Notable" means on Wikipedia
What notable means here on Wikipedia and what it may mean to you in real life are quite likely two different things. Here, notable simply means "qualifies to have an article on Wikipedia". If a subject does not have an article on Wikipedia, before you can include them in a "notable people" list you have to include references that show they would qualify for a Wikipedia biograpy and references showing that they are connected to the settlement or institution that the list is pertaining to. Qualifications for Wikipedia biographies can be found at WP:BIO. Welcome to Wikipedia. If I can ever be of help drop me a note on my talk page. John from Idegon (talk) 05:45, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Armentor-628 (talk) 06:28, 11 October 2014 (UTC)John, the entry concerns a very well-known scientist who was born in that town, but whose name and link to his work is not shown on the town's wiki item. I was just trying to add the name and a brief description of his work.

There is a Wiki entry in process for the person, which describes his work. You may Google the person's name and will note that his work is extremely well-cited by peers around the world, and has been used as a building block for advanced work in physics, chemistry, and engineering. There should have been a Wiki page for Norman F Carnahan, a long time ago ... and a corresponding listing of that name on the town's page.

Thanks for your help and advice.Armentor-628 (talk) 06:28, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
