We'd never have an article about something like "reporting standards for CBS News" or "editorial inclusion policies of the Wall Street Journal" even if we could find three sources that have talked about it. It wouldn't deserve an article on its own and would be merged into the CBS News or Wall Street Journal articles.
CBS is one channel. Many viewers with one eye. Wikipedia has many eyes and many views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.250.64.202 ( talk) 20:16, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Accordingly, this should be merged into the article about Wikipedia. To do otherwise would be to apply special standards to articles about ourselves. Ken Arromdee ( talk) 16:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
This article is somewhat outdated. Surely WP’s notability policy has received some commentary since the mid 2000s... even something from 2010s would be an improvement. Blueboar ( talk) 18:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
"Always err on the side of unmerited favor." If I was notable content moderators might cite this quote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.250.64.202 ( talk) 20:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
What's the point of this article? We don't need it... 2600:6C52:7200:F80D:60A7:EBAA:308A:CDF1 ( talk) 20:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
