'''Above all else, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.''' This means that items in Wikipedia have to be [[Wikipedia:Notability (summary)|important]] enough to be considered encyclopedic.
{{Article wizard/GNGbox}}
A topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple [[Wikipedia:Notability (summary)|non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject itself and of each other]]. To be included in Wikiapedia all topics must meet a minimum level of notability to be included in Wikipedia. This ensures that there are enough sources to write a [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]], [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|encyclopedic]] article about the topic without making anything up.
'''[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]:''' In addition to the notability criteria described above, the entry must also be encyclopedic in nature. Items such as FAQs, video game guides, memorials, instruction manuals, directories, lists of links, advertising, self-promotion, and dictionary definitions are not encyclopedic and will probably be deleted.
