Note that in addition to providing criteria for establishing notability, some SNGs also add additional restrictions on what types of coverage can be considered for notability purposes. For example, the [[PBC:NCORP|SNG for companies and organizations]] specifies a very strict set of criteria for sources being considered. SNGs may also include suggested alternatives to deletion in the event that a subject is not found to be notable.
==<span id="NCONTENT" ></span>Notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists==
{{Shortcut|PBC:NNC|PBC:NLISTITEM|PBC:NOTEWORTHY}}
The criteria applied to the creation or retention of an article are not the same as those applied to the content inside it. The notability guidelines do not apply to contents of articles or lists (with the exception of lists which restrict inclusion to notable items or people). Content coverage within a given article or list (i.e. whether something is {{em|noteworthy}} enough to be mentioned within the article or list) is governed by the principle of [[PBC:DUE|due weight]] and other [[PBC:List of policies#Content|content policies]]. For additional information about list articles, see [[#Stand-alone lists|Notability of lists]] and [[PBC:LSC|List selection criteria]].
==Article content does not determine notability==
{{shortcut|PBC:ARTN|PBC:CONTN}}
Notability is a property of a {{em|subject}} and not of a PBC article. If the subject has not been covered outside of PBC, [[PBC:OVERCOME|no amount of improvements]] to the PBC content will suddenly make the subject notable. Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a PBC article will not decrease the subject's notability.
