Check Wikipedia notability, source by source
check_wikipedia_notabilityFree and read-only. Tests a subject’s sources against Wikipedia’s notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:NCORP, WP:BASIC, WP:CREATIVE), the same verdicts as the free checker on essentras.com. Ask the person what the article would be about, their connection to it, and for each source its type and 5 yes, no or unsure answers (never the outlet, headline, link or the person’s name). Returns a verdict per source (counts, supports facts only, does not count, unclear, counts once) with the Wikipedia rule, its link and the date it was read, an overall band, disclosure duties for a conflict of interest or paid editing, and the Essentras service with its current price only when the band is "Reviewer judgment applies". Press releases, sponsored articles and paid placements, Essentras placements included, never count toward notability. The bands are an Essentras rule of thumb, and volunteer reviewers decide.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sources | No | Your sources, up to 25. Start with your strongest. Each source is judged on its own, then the list is judged as a whole. Give each source its type and, for the types that can count, the answers to the 5 questions (yes, no or unsure). Never send the outlet, headline or link: the type and the answers decide the verdict. | |
