On Wikipedia India, '''notability''' is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article. | |||
Information on Wikipedia India must be [[WP:V|verifiable]]; if no [[WP:Reliable sources|reliable]], [[WP:Independent sources|independent]] sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia India's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics. Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice". Determining notability does not {{em|necessarily}} depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below. | |||
