Wikipedia talk:IMPORTANT

Reverting retargeting to Wikipedia:Notability
Targeting this page to Notability could be misleading, in my opinion. The notability guideline goes to great lengths to explain that "notability", as defined on Wikipedia, is based on the relatively objective criterion of coverage in reliable sources as opposed to the subjective criterion of importance. In fact, the first paragraph of the guideline indicates: "topic notability on Wikipedia is not necessarily dependent on things like fame, importance, or the popularity of a topic".

Despite this, confusion about the meaning of "notability" on Wikipedia persists, and I am afraid that using WP:IMPORTANT as a shortcut to the notability guideline would only reinforce existing misperceptions. –Black Falcon (Talk) 16:54, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
