Check Wikipedia notability, source by source

Free and read-only. Tests a subject’s sources against Wikipedia’s notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:NCORP, WP:BASIC, WP:CREATIVE), the same verdicts as the free checker on essentras.com. Ask the person what the article would be about, their connection to it, and for each source its type and 5 yes, no or unsure answers (never the outlet, headline, link or the person’s name). Returns a verdict per source (counts, supports facts only, does not count, unclear, counts once) with the Wikipedia rule, its link and the date it was read, an overall band, disclosure duties for a conflict of interest or paid editing, and the Essentras service with its current price only when the band is "Reviewer judgment applies". Press releases, sponsored articles and paid placements, Essentras placements included, never count toward notability. The bands are an Essentras rule of thumb, and volunteer reviewers decide. The same checker as the MCP tool check_wikipedia_notability.
