'''Information on Wikipedia must be reliable and verifiable.'''

Facts, viewpoints, theories, and opinions may only be used if they have already been published by [[WP:RS|reliable and reputable sources]]. Sources should have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, and be independent of the subject. [[WP:Citing sources|Citing sources]] is one of the most important parts of a Wikipedia article and is official policy for every article on Wikipedia. Any unsourced material may be challenged and removed. For academic subjects, the sources should preferably be [[peer review]]ed. Sources should also refer directly to the claims made; for example, [[WP:REDFLAG|strong claims need very strong sources]]. If you are not sure if your sources are good enough, look at [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]], and if you're still not sure, you can ask the [[WP:RSN|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]] for advice.

*''Do not use other Wikipedia articles as sources'' (though you can of course copy ''relevant'' sources from other Wikipedia articles).
*''Do not include your own opinions or experience.


'''Good sources'''
# have a reputation for reliability: they are [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]
# are independent of the subject
# are [[WP:V|verifiable]] by other editors


'''If your article does not cite reliable, ''independent'' sources, it may be deleted.'''

'''Links to social media sites and YouTube will be removed'''.
