Notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a topic can have its own article. Information on Wikipedia must be both notable and also verifiable by primary or secondary sources.

Notability test

  1. Topic must have been discussed in published and reliable primary or secondary sources.
  2. Sources related to the topic must be verifiable.

Points to note

  1. Notability is not temporary: Once a topic has been the subject of significant coverage in accordance with the general notability guidelines, it does not need to have ongoing coverage.
  2. Notability is not country-dependent: Notable in Australia but not worldwide is not a valid argument. If a subject is notable in any country in the world, an article may be written on Sarkarverse.

Notability by topic

Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

  1. YesY All published works (including books, discourses, songs, and so on) are notable.
  2. YesY All verifiable events that have been covered by reliable primary or secondary sources are notable.
  3. N Unverifiable, undocumented events of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar's life are not notable. Such events might be mentioned in an article (with ascription of the source), but they would not be worthy of a dedicated article.

Renunciate disciples of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

  1. YesY The status of a senior renunciate (avadhuta or avadhutika) implies notability, but the reasons for notability must be implicit within the relevant article.
  2. N Although such disciples have the status of an acarya or even purodha, notability would also require distinguished service, in accordance with the general notability guidelines. Merely being brahmacarii or brahmacarinii does not confer automatic notability.

Householder disciples of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

  1. YesY The status of householder acarya (not to mention, purodha) implies notability, but the reasons for notability must be implicit within the relevant article.
  2. N Merely being a disciple of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar does not confer automatic notability. Sarkarverse is not a site for hosting personal webpages.

Foundations

  1. YesY All registered or unregistered foundations established under the direction of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (including Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team, Renaissance Universal, Renaissance Artists and Writers Association, Seva Dharma Mission, Ananda Marga Seva Dal, Proutist Universal, and so on) are notable.
  2. YesY Foundations inspired by the ideology of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar but not directly established by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (for example, a social movement or a music publishing organization) may be deemed notable if the general notability guidelines are met.
  3. N Each and every branch of a notable foundation is not inherently notable. As far as possible, branches should be presented in a hierarchical fashion, with only the main branch(es) detailed in the foundation article. Subordinate branches would receive an article only if the [general notability guidelines]] are satisfied.

Internet properties

  1. N Official and officially endorsed websites connected with notable foundations would best be referenced as an external link in the article for the pertinent foundation. Unless the website itself meets the general notability guidelines, it would not merit a dedicated article.
