Notability

[edit]

@TheChunky: This topic easily passes WP:GNG. Bess is very much a household name in Finland and the Finnish WP:RS press is full of indepth coverage about her. I think you should pass. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 11:22, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But the article references currently are not enough for notability. The subject might be popular, but Wikipedia needs WP:SIGCOV from WP:RS. ❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 13:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TheChunky: as an experienced user I am sure you know that notability is based on the amount of sources out there, and not on how many are referenced in a (prospective) article. I'm telling you, as an uninvolved editor, that I've checked that such coverage indeed exists. But if you don't want to take my word for it, I can provide as many as you want. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 12:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I know that notability criteria can be met if there are reliable sources available for the subject. However, I did not find much reliable information on this subject when I searched Google and other search engines, so it does not pass the notability test according to me. But my views can be limited to my experience; you can talk on WP:Teahouse with more experienced users. Thank you. ❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 12:58, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, I'm accepting this at AfC: there are enough solid sources cited to satisfy GNG, and in any case the chart performance meets SINGER #2 notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:09, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
