Before any Wikipedia page goes live, it has to pass one critical test: notability. A Wikipedia Notability Assessment looks at whether a person, business, or organisation has received enough coverage from independent, reliable sources to justify a standalone page. It's not about how accomplished someone feels, or how important a business believes itself to be. It's about whether that recognition already exists in the public record, documented by sources Wikipedia trusts.
This step matters more than most people realise. A huge number of Wikipedia pages get rejected or deleted simply because the subject didn't meet this bar in the first place, often after the page has already been written and submitted. Running a proper assessment first saves time, protects reputation, and prevents the frustration of watching months of work disappear over a policy that could have been checked from day one.
Wiki Writers, we treat this as the true starting point of every project, not a formality to rush past.
