-'''Notability''' means a test used by editors to decide whether a topic can have its own article. Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable by primary or secondary sources.
+'''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 ==
-# Topic must have been discussed in published primary or reliable secondary sources.
+# Topic must have been discussed in published and [[reliable]] [[primary]] or [[secondary sources]].
 # Sources related to the topic must be [[SV:V|verifiable]].
 == Points to note ==
-# '''Notability is not temporary''': Once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage.
+# '''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.
-# '''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 ===
-# {{Tick}} All published works (including books, discourses, songs) are notable.
+# {{Tick}} All published works (including books, discourses, songs, and so on) are notable.
-# {{Tick}} All verifiable events which have been covered in reliable primary or secondary sources are notable.
+# {{Tick}} All verifiable events that have been covered by reliable [[primary]] or [[secondary sources]] are notable.
-# {{Cross}} Unverifiable, undocumented events of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar's life are not notable (unless it is a "remembrance" of a trusted Ananda Marga person).
+# {{Cross}} 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.
-=== Ananda Marga Avadhutas and Avadhitikas ===
+=== Renunciate disciples of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar ===
+# {{Tick}} The status of a senior renunciate ([[avadhuta]] or [[avadhutika]]) implies notability, but the reasons for notability must be implicit within the relevant article.
+# {{Cross}} 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.
-== Ananda Marga branches ==
+=== Householder disciples of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar ===
-# {{Tick}} All registered branches of Ananda Marga are notable.
+# {{Tick}} The status of householder [[acarya]] (not to mention, [[purodha]]) implies notability, but the reasons for notability must be implicit within the relevant article.
+# {{Cross}} Merely being a disciple of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar does not confer automatic notability. Sarkarverse is not a site for hosting personal webpages.
+== Foundations ==
+# {{Tick}} 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.
+# {{Tick}} 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.
+# {{Cross}} 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 ===
-# {{Tick}} All official or officially endorsed websites of Ananda Marga are noatble.
+# {{Cross}} 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.
-=== Householder disciples and devotees of Ananda Marga ===
