=Non-notability and an article on you==

Hi, This issue has come up again and again. The basic answer is that if you have sources that aren't "easily verifiable to wikipedians" (ie most likely via multipe reliable internet sources), then your topic or information isn't valid on wikipedia. You can't have an article on yourself anymore than you can have an article on anything thats just been covered in your local newspaper. Its simply not verifiable - especially by multiple sources. The non-notability proposal is *not* about overriding the main pillars or other policy. It is simply an extension, and defines the use of notability as irrelevant *because* other policy like NPOV, V, and NOR already cover the playing field in a much more objective way. I hope that helps you understand our policy better. Thanks. Fresheneesz 14:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * wikipedia is full of articles that are not verifiable via multiple reliable internet sources. Would all those articles be deleted according to this new policy? --Teveten 07:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This policy does not affect the verifiability policy in any way whatsoever. Fresheneesz 06:14, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So those non-verifiable vanity articles will just be tagged for missing sources and stay in wikipedia? --Teveten 14:08, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No, theres already policy on vanity articles, see WP:VAIN. Fresheneesz 05:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
