Notability/one source[edit]

Re this:

Having read the AfD, I see no indication that coats of arms are assumed to be notable, as I mentioned. Rather, I see no particular guideline that applies here. Rather, this seems to fall under WP:GNG. As such, we need "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Rather than reliable sources, we have one source which includes this coat of arms in an exhaustive guide. If this is sufficient to cover GNG, we will need to add articles on every model of every product ever manufactured. Surely amazon.com is a reliable source for details on that pair of cuticle scissors I've been eyeing...

As for labeling it as relying largely or entirely upon a single source... um... it relies entirely upon a single source. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:40, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If articles are tagged with notability template, there are two solutions: remove the template or delete the article. If you would like to nominate it for deletion for it failing notability,go ahead. Otherwise, the template should be removed. PS. Additional sources: [1], pl:S. Orgelbranda Encyklopedia Powszechna (1898) (19th century encyclopedia). Entry in two encyclopedias and a book on Polish nobility clans and coas seems to make this coa (and all others) pretty notable - unlike your pair of scissors, which I doubt would be mentioned in any reliable source... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:00, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you were correct about the notability tag, there would be no reason for the tag to exist. If you believe this is the case, feel free to nominate it for deletion. I would like to suggest that there are at least two other "solutions" to the tag: Discuss the issue on the article's talk page to determine if the subject is notable or if some other remedy exists (merging, redirecting, etc.). Add sources to the article that clearly demonstrate that the subject is notable.

At the moment, this article is sourced to what is essentially a directory listing every coat of arms the author could get his hands on. As far as the sources in the article go, it's a pair of cuticle scissors. If you have access to sources discussing this topic directly and in detail, adding those sources to the article would be helpful. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:41, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the tag. If there is significant coverage out there, please add it. - SummerPhD (talk) 06:02, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
