Afd Administrators
I would like to respectfully request that this discussion remain open until a consensus can be reached on the Basic Criteria.-Stillwaterising (talk) 03:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC) Also, is it acceptable to put section headings or reflists in an Afd discussion? -Technophant (talk) 13:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Basic Criteria
(I'm placing these arguments on the talk page because the supporting documentation requires a disproportionally large amount of space)

The guidelines for WP:BIO do not even mention the GNG In their place are what's called Basic Criteria, which DO have to be met in order for the subject to have his/her own article. The Basic Criteria are as follows:


 * A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.
 * If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove 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. -Stillwaterising (talk) 03:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
