Not notable. No, seriously: notability in the English Wikipedia is notable, for sure, but notability as a general concept? There is nothing encyclopaedic to write about here beyond the dictionary definition. The article claims that it is a concept in philosophy, but it only cites one source from 1975 and I can't find anything else. The rest is just a disconnected collection of references to sources that use the word 'notability' in one of its everyday meanings; they don't outline a coherent topic.

Searches for more sources overwhelmingly turn up material about Wikipedia. And indeed this title was originally used to disambiguate notability in the English Wikipedia, to which we can now add Notability (application), which I think was better. – Joe (talk) 22:24, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
