This is a collection of notes for a further expansion and refinement of the proposal.

  • Be more explicit in asserting that sources still need to be found.
  • Encourage truly measurable and constructive discussion on sourcing.
  • A third-party reliable source needs to be provided to prove that SNG criteria are met.
  • SNGs need to be vetted and endorsed by a broad consensus (or wide community input) to be viable.
  • SNGs are broad inclusion criteria indicating what Wikipedia should cover, though many subjects will not receive stand-alone articles.
  • Explicitly state that merge targets should not only be articles one step up, but also an article with clearly established notability or a daughter list of an article with clearly established notability.
  • Qualifying articles without a valid merge target are subject to deletion or userfication.
