Notability The basic requirement for a topic to have its own article is: significant coverage in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. significant coverage means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a ...
Having published work does not, in itself, make an academic notable, no matter how many publications there are. Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study. This notability guideline specifies criteria for judging the notability of an academic through reliable sources for the impact of their work.
Therefore, given the guidelines already established above, it can be seen that Wikipedia editors believe that an encyclopaedia has a duty to inform, that a topic's significance or notability should be explained, and thus, notability of a given article's topic needs establishing, in a manner that satisfies verifiability and neutral point of view.
This proposal is aimed at changing the criteria for the subject-specific notability guideline for academic personnel on Wikipedia known as PROF or WP:NPROF. There are known limitations to the current criteria that we hope to address. The case below outlines the history of the guideline, the research relating to PROF, and includes recommendations.
Mendeley: Multidisciplinary The Mendeley research catalog is a crowdsourced database of research documents. Researchers have uploaded nearly 100M documents into the catalog with additional contributions coming directly from subject repositories like Pubmed Central and Arxiv.org or web crawls. Free Mendeley [98] Merck Index: Chemistry, biology ...

The general notability guideline creates a presumption of notability. The presumption (or assumption) is that a topic that has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources should have a Wikipedia article written about it. An editor may show that the presumption may not apply to a topic through the deletion process. Other ...
The notability guideline for academics (PROF) is one of the oldest and best-established subject-specific notability guidelines. It has a strong consensus behind it and a citation to a PROF criterion is frequently enough to end a debate on notability (e.g. at AfD). However, over the years a number of criticisms have consistently emerged.
