(or some variation linking to one of the [[:Category:Wikipedia Nordic Larp Wiki notability guidelines|subject-specific notability guidelines]]) questions whether a topic is notable. As stated in the template, addressing the issue requires adding citations to reliable secondary sources. There are a number of common mistakes seen in addressing this issue:
*<u>Adding citations but to unreliable sources</u>: We are looking for treatment in sources like mainstream newspaper articles, non-vanity books, magazines, scholarly journals, television and radio documentaries, etc. – sources with editorial oversight and a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means generally ''not'' random personal websites, blogs, forum posts, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, [[WP:SPS|self-published sources]] like open wikis (including [[WP:CIRCULAR|other Wikipedia articles]]), etc. In short, read and understand [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources]].
*<u>Adding citations to connected (non-independent) sources</u>: While [[WP:PRIMARY|primary]] sources may be useful to verify certain facts, they must be used with caution and do nothing to establish notability. In short, we are looking for [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary sources]] written by [[Wikipedia:Secondary does not mean independent|third parties]] to a topic.
