Omnictionary:Definition of Notability

From Omnictionary

The Omnictionary Definition of Notability is a cornerstone of the Omnictionarian philosophy, ensuring that entries into this encyclopedia remain relevant and important to readers, rather than some mere vanity project. As Omnictionary founder William S. Wright noted in an interview with Reference Books Bulletin, "One must earn an entry in omnictionary — unlike certain other wikis, which will remain nameless."
