Articles for Notability Review (ANR) is where Wikipedians discuss whether a controversial article should be judged as notable or non-notable. This Articles listed here are debated for as long as it takes to get consensus. The article is then moved out of the Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability by either replacing the {{Notability}}tag with a more appropriate tag (such as {{expand}}), or by sending the article to the Articles for Deletion debates. Please note: this is NOT an AfD discussion; this is to see if the article is notable or non-notable.
Please feel free to nominate any article with no opinion on the nomination. The Wikipedians will discuss and eventually form a consensus.
We must also ask that no administrator intervention take place here. Remember: this is not an AfD debate.
Before nominating for an ANR
[edit]- Please be familiar with all the guidelines that establish what makes an article notable. Examples of this are WP:BIO, WP:BAND, WP:CORP, and WP:LOCAL.
- If it is obvious that an article is notable or non-notable be bold and take appropriate action on the article.

[edit]- Sharron Storer (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View ANR)
This article is semi-notable, the event was widely televised, but that is all that would make Storer notable. Diez2 16:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Non-notable. The article should be about the incident itself, if one is needed at all. I think there are also privacy issues; if I say something critical to President Bush will a WP article be written about me and my family? I don't think that is what WP should be about.

- I'm not saying she is notable, but the notability she has isn't that she said something critical about about Blair, it's that she said something critical about Blair which was "widely-televised".--Nonpareility 20:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
How to file an ANR
[edit]- Add {{subst:anr1}} to the top of the main article.
- Copy the {{subst:arn2}} template (located on the bottom of the anr1 template) to the Preloaded Debate Page.
- On the Debate page, either write an opinion why you think this article is notable or non-notable, or say no opinion. Please feel free to say no opinion when you don't know where an article belongs.
- Finally, copy {{subst:anr3|pg=PAGENAME}} (also located on the bottom of the anr1 template), replacing PAGENAME with the article's name, to the Current Nominations section of this page.
