Overreliance upon Google sometimes occurs in determining and assessing notability for various topics and subjects on Wiki English.
This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wiki's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page in a nutshell: Google search results using Wikipedia's {{Find sources}} template can provide an incomplete overview of actual available sources. |
Use of the Google search links in Wikipedia's {{Find sources}} template does not always provide all pertinent sources. However, sources can often be found by customizing search terms a bit and not relying only on Google. For more information about Google search limitations, see WP:GOOGLELIMITS.
Sometimes the default links in the {{find sources}} template atop AfD discussions and on article talk pages does not provide much coverage about a topic. Customizing Google searches to narrow results, using other search engines, and the general customization of search parameters often provides several and sometimes many additional reliable sources that are not included in basic Google searches using the Find sources template.
