Wikipedia Eligibility & Notability Assessment
Most Wikipedia projects fail before they begin: the subject does not yet have enough independent, reliable coverage to support an article. Our assessment answers that question first, at no cost, so you never pay for a draft that cannot survive review.

FAQs
Common Questions
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. It is the first step of every engagement and there is no obligation afterwards. We would rather tell you honestly that Wikipedia is premature than take a fee for a draft that will be declined.
What do you need from me?
Your name or organisation, the type of subject, and links to any coverage you already know about. We research beyond what you send, but your links speed things up.
How quickly will I hear back?
Usually within one business day. Complex cases with a long Wikipedia history may take a little longer.
What if you say I'm not eligible yet?
We tell you why, and what kind of coverage would change the answer. Many subjects come back six to eighteen months later with stronger sourcing.
