User:力/GNG and SNGs

There are multiple relations an SNG can have to the General Notability Guideline (GNG):

• exclusionary override - Some references are excluded from consideration in evaluating notability.
• inclusionary override - Some statistical/directory reference are included in consideration in evaluating notability.
• independent - Some pages are not easily evaluated by the GNG, and topic suitability is generally assessed by the SNG.
• advisory - Pages must meet the GNG, but pages that meet the SNG are often given the benefit of the doubt in deletion discussions.

Biographies

Guideline	Shortcut	Relation	Details
Actors	WP:NACTOR	Independent	"Gossip magazine" coverage is often discounted at AfD, but a prominent enough filmography can be sufficient without any detailed secondary sources.
Athletes	WP:ATHLETE	Inclusionary Override	Athletes that meet SNGs (particularly the ones involving participation in named sports leagues or the Olympics) are generally kept even if non-statistical references cannot be found.
High-school athletes	WP:NHSPHSATH	Exclusionary Override	Normal coverage of high school, U-17, or younger athletic accomplishments are excluded from meeting GNG.
Politicians	WP:POLITICIAN	Independent	People who have served in various high-level political positions are included even if GNG is not clearly met. People who are merely candidates for political office are generally excluded if their only coverage is in the context of a campaign.
Professors and academics	WP:NPROF	Independent	Citations of a professor's academic works are not considered sufficient to meet GNG if the SNG is not met.

Other articles

Guideline	Shortcut	Relation	Details
Astronomical objects	WP:NASTRO	Advisory	This guideline is mostly advisory, notability requires that the GNG is met.
Books	WP:NBOOK	Independent	The NBOOK guidelines are independent of GNG.
Corporations	WP:CORPDEPTH	Exclusionary Override	Corporations, particularly new companies, must have their sources meet the standard of CORPDEPTH.
Events	WP:EVENT	Independent	There are no clear guidelines on when "news events" are notable; the common misconception that contemporaneous newspaper articles are "secondary references" makes this even harder.
Films	WP:NFILM	Independent	Films released before the internet are assumed to have offline references if certain guidelines are met.
Numbers	WP:NUMBER	Independent	In borderline cases, it's often silly to assess whether a number meets GNG.
Places	WP:GEOLAND	Inclusionary Override	Wikipedia functions as a gazetteer as well as an encyclopedia; the standard of GEOLAND is generally less stringent than GNG.
Military units	WP:MILUNIT	Advisory	This guideline is purely advisory, notability requires that the GNG is met.
