Do we qualify for a Wikipedia article?

Whether a subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article is a structured question with a specific answer in most cases. The threshold is significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent, secondary sources, with each of those four words carrying weight in practice. Five Blocks’s readiness assessment catalogs the existing coverage against this standard. For a corporate subject we look at the depth and number of in-depth pieces in outlets like Bloomberg, Reuters, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and major trade publications; we discount press releases, wire syndications of company announcements, sponsored content, and self-published material because they do not count toward notability. For an individual we look at substantive coverage of their professional or public activities in similar outlets. The output is a clear call: yes the subject meets the standard, yes but barely (we should reinforce sourcing first), or no the underlying record needs to develop further before an article is viable.
