Notability[edit]

Its not an organisation, and seemed notable enough for a museum in Italy, I will add some more sources. Additionally given its been signed by the leaders of the US, Russia and China at the time it hardly seems unnotable. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that reliable sources can be found for this article, but the references that are there now don't meet Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources. Regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 21:39, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So you don't think the last one is a reliable source? -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's a working paper, not a paper published in a peer–reviewed journal and is unclear as to whether it is just a single person's unreviewed work, and thus self-published, or has had some kind of academic review and approval. It's enough that I think {{refimprove}} is better than {{unreferenced}}, but there's still got to be more and better references. If there's not, then there is some substantial question as to whether or not it ought to be in Wikipedia at all. If 90,000 scientists have signed it, I can't imagine that there's not been articles written about the statement in major newspapers and magazines.

Fair point. Thanks. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:44, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
