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 sona pona are more permissive than 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. Deletionists are often concerned with learners absorbing words and styles of speech that are not widely used or understood in practice, by which sona pona would artificially influence the language rather than covering it responsibly. Inclusionists have argued that within Toki Pona, presence in a learning resource or font may amount to notability, and sona pona coverage could provide better usage disclaimers, nuance, and citations than other resources.
Current standards include:
- Additions to existing systems require a higher level of notability than new systems.
- Articles should not give undue weight to significantly less notable topics. For example, see Project:Word articles ยง Related words.
- A list may warrant its own article, even if not all of its items do, and even if the list does not form a coherent style of Toki Pona usage.
- User pages are not subject to notability requirements.
