The article title should define what the article is about. If there is enough valid content to fill an article about the person, then John Doe would be an appropriate title.
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 Steve
Bartman incident. 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 a notable persons 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. If the person was the subject of a notable murder, then a title such as Murder of Kitty Genovese is appropriate.
2.4.1 Basic Criteria
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 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 may not be sufficient to establish notability. Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward
proving the notability of a subject. People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below. Articles may still not
be created for such people if they fall under exclusionary criteria, such as being notable only for a single event, or such as those listed in what Wikipedia is not.
2.4.2 Additional Criteria
People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be
included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included.
A person who fails to meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia: Notability. Editors may find these criteria helpful when deciding whether to
tag an article as requiring additional citations using {{BLP sources}} for example, or to instead initiate a deletion discussion.
2.4.3 Any Biography
The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for several times if:
1. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring
historical record in his or her specific field. 2.
The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.
