I've created WP:BRIGHT pointed here. Another case is WP:ANYBIO where winning a major award is notable. Legacypac ( talk) 04:15, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
User:SmokeyJoe - You added a comment about unreliable sources, with which I agree, but think is outside the scope of this essay. Your rule that states that unreliable sources are deprecated when a claim is based on general notability. This essay is not about general notability, but about specific cases that bypass general notability. So my question is whether a claim of ipso facto notability should be denied when it is based on a deprecated source. I think that it should be denied even then. That is, if a supermarket tabloid says that someone received the Medal of Honor or game in third in an event in the 2006 Olympic Games, is that a valid bright-line statement of notability? My thinking is that it is not, because anyone can claim to have received a medal, but if the Los Angeles Times states that they received a medal, we have reason to believe that the person received the medal. If that is what you meant, the wording needs to be changed, because unreliable sources do not even establish a bright-line claim, let alone general notability.
