'''Notability''' is a measure of whether a topic warrants its own article, or mention on the wiki in general. |
'''Notability''' is a measure of whether a topic warrants its own article, or mention on the wiki in general. Since Toki Pona is a niche topic in itself, the notability standards for {{tp|sona pona}} are more permissive than {{w|Project:Notability|those for Wikipedia}}; topics are judged by their relevance to the language or [[community]] culture. |
||
Editors have varying opinions on what the wiki should include. {{w|Deletionist}}s are often concerned with learners absorbing [[word]]s and [[styles of speech]] that are not widely used or understood in practice, by which {{tp|sona pona}} would artificially influence the language rather than covering it responsibly. {{w|Inclusionist}}s have argued that within Toki Pona, presence in a [[learning resource]] or [[font]] may amount to notability, and {{tp|sona pona}} coverage could provide better usage disclaimers, nuance, and citations than other resources. |
