Currently WD:Notability reads: "an item with only a sitelink to a category page in Wikimedia Commons is not allowed on main article items. However, it is allowed to link Wikimedia Commons categories with categories in other Wikimedia sites in items." It is being used as a rationale to delete biographical Wikidata entries that only link to a category in Wikimedia Commons, they have no Wikipedia entry. The wording is difficult to understand, I do not know what "main article items" are. Wikidata doesn't have articles so this must refer to something at Wikipedia. I want to be sure that the intention is to not allow entries for people with only a Commons category and to change the wording so that it is clearer in its intent. The second part of the statement is equally perplexing and needs to be rewritten. Perhaps giving examples would make the intent clearer, again it refers to "items". We have entries in the database assigned Q numbers, and the fields in the database we assign P numbers for properties, I do not know what "items" are. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:13, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
