2. Add sources (optional) — Include any sources you have (news articles, academic papers, books) for evaluation
3. Get assessment — Receive a clear verdict with supporting evidence and recommendations
4. Follow recommendations — Use the guidance to build notability or proceed with article creation

Example Use Cases

• Pre-article notability check — Before investing time in creating a Wikipedia article, check if your topic has enough independent source coverage to meet Wikipedia's standards
• Source quality review — Understand which of your sources meet Wikipedia's reliability standards and which ones don't count
• Content gap identification — Find out exactly what types of sources and coverage you're missing before attempting article creation
• Article structure planning — Get recommendations on how to organize your article and what each section should cover based on your topic type
• Notability improvement strategy — If your topic doesn't meet standards yet, get specific guidance on building notability through PR and media coverage

Tips for Best Results

• Include multiple sources — The more sources you provide, the more accurate the assessment. Include news articles, academic papers, and books from reputable publishers
• Be honest about sources — If you only have company-owned media, say so. The assessment will be more helpful if we know what you're working with
• Use the verdict — If the verdict is "Needs More Sources" or "Not Suitable", focus on building notability through PR before attempting article creation

FAQ

Q: What makes a topic "notable" on Wikipedia?
A: Wikipedia requires "significant coverage in reliable, independent sources." This means multiple news articles, academic papers, or books that discuss your topic in depth — not just brief mentions. Company websites, press releases, and social media don't count as independent sources.

Q: Why doesn't this agent write the actual article?
A: Wikipedia requires all content to be based on verifiable sources. Writing article content without access to your source materials could result in original research violations, which would get the article deleted. This agent focuses on assessment and strategy so you can create a well-sourced article yourself or work with a writer who has access to your sources.

Q: What if my topic isn't notable yet?
A: The assessment will tell you exactly what types of sources you need to build notability. Typically this means pitching stories to industry publications, seeking coverage in national news outlets, or publishing academic research. Building notability usually takes 6-12 months of consistent PR efforts.

Q: Do I need to disclose conflicts of interest?
A: Yes. Wikipedia requires disclosure of paid editing and conflicts of interest. If you're creating an article for a client or your own organization, you must disclose this on your Wikipedia user page and use the Articles for Creation (AfC) process rather than direct creation.

Q: Can I just create the article anyway if it's not notable?
A: You can try, but it will likely be deleted through Wikipedia's deletion process. Wikipedia has strict notability standards, and articles without sufficient independent source coverage don't survive review. It's better to build notability first, then create a well-sourced article.
