Template:Notability

The template


An editor has expressed a concern that the subject of the article does not satisfy.

 * Numbers

 * Proposed. In this case a second argument is required to provide a link to the proposed guideline.
 * For example,.


 * Other. For forward compatibility with new guidelines that have not yet been given a syntactic shortcut in this template. A second argument is required as a link to the guideline.
 * For example, were "Music" not already supported, one could use:.
