"Notability" seems to me to be a somewhat vague concept. What exactly constitutes "notability"; and why isn't merely the state of having a significant amount of factual/accurate/coherent information written about it, and being widely referred to (or in some way related to something that is widely referred to), not sufficient alone for a subject's inclusion? In other words, why can't Wikipedia be an "[almost] indiscriminate collection" of organized information (excluding original research, for I understand Wikipedia is not a place to publish original content)?
For example, concerning the franchise Dungeons and Dragons, which as a whole is notable, I've noticed that there have been many articles about characters, races, places, etc., that have been deleted recently. Where, exactly, is the dividing line between "notable" and "not notable" when it comes to fictional elements of a notable franchise, and what is the purpose behind placing that line where it is?

Could anyone please tell me if it's all right to make an edit note a new paragraph if it gets sufficiently long, say, three or four sentences in length?-- Thylacine24 ( talk) 03:30, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
I made the claim that Yeo 2011 is widely cited, which it is. Google & Bing searches show it is cited 3365 times. citeseer show it has 20 pages of references, but none of those are stable URLS. I did various searches, but the only results are neuroscience journals pushing their own journals. Do you have any ideas for how create a valid citation?

how to change my user name here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.dinesh charan ( talk • contribs) 06:18, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
I'm currently trying to improve an article by adding new information to it: " Work This Body". One of the facts about the song's composition in the article: "Petricca also explained that the song's 'ecstatic and clamorous beat' is 'caused by the band's addition of more than a dozen different percussion instruments into the song'" comes from a Spotify track by track commentary which is currently unavailable due to it being removed: https://open.spotify.com/album/6TqacRIo8Fb9A0vA506wMj The page has been archived on the Internet Archive multiple times, including this link that has a 30 second sample of each track: https://web.archive.org/web/20190114003930/https://open.spotify.com/album/6TqacRIo8Fb9A0vA506wMj However, it does not contain the actual part of the article I quoted. The only place I can find it mentioned/paraphrased is on a Genius lyrics page: https://genius.com/Walk-the-moon-work-this-body-lyrics I know Genius is not generally considered reliable because its content is user-generated, but given the fact that it is the only website to have this piece of information documented that comes from an album commentary that did exist at one point, would it be fine to keep the information with both the Spotify and Genius page cited? Or does its unreliability prevent it from being kept? ThedancingMOONpolice ( talk) 08:41, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
There's a tag right in the middle of a sentence here. When I look at it in source I can't find it, and when I look in Vis Ed it appears to be transcluded from somewhere, and I think it must have something to do with the external links inline, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at or how I'm supposed to be fixing it. —valereee ( talk) 11:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

But, it should soon be de-salted. And then I am also not happy with iPhone X as the target for iPhone 10, which was last discussed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 July 15#iPhone 10. It's been weeks since the discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 July 4#iPhone 9. I really cannot live without a redirect. Look at all the redirects under the Category:Redirects from incorrect names. All redirects under that category are names that do not exist. For example, there is a redirect for Windows 9. Now look at the following sources:

I edited the page to provide additional names being used today by descendants of Kosoko. But this was removed by Budhie.
The reason I see is "Test/ vandalism". Kosoko is my great, great, grandfather and today my family bears the name King. This is what I included on wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:E60:D670:D104:99CC:BCD9:8C04 ( talk) 21:28, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
