Wikipedia:GLAM/Notability

General criteria
A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
 * If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.
 * Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
 * The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times.
 * The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.
