People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below. Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If the person was the victim of a notable murder, then a title such as Murder of Kitty Genovese is appropriate. If a notable person's main article is too long to contain all of their works, then a separate page can be created for that information, such as George Orwell bibliography. Sometimes when a famous person dies, there is enough information for an article about their death, such as Death of Michael Jackson or Death of Diana, Princess of Wales. If, however, there is only enough information about one notable event related to the person, then the article should be titled specifically about that event, such as Travis Walton UFO incident. If there is enough valid content to fill an article about a person, then that person's name (such as "John Doe" or "Jane Doe") would be an appropriate title. The article title should define what the article is about. For advice about how to write biographical articles, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. This notability guideline for biographies reflects consensus reached through discussions and reinforced by established practice, and informs decisions on whether an article about a person should be written, merged, deleted, or further developed. "Notable" in the sense of being famous or popular-although not irrelevant-is secondary. For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note" -that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article.
