Session
This session will present the problem of notability and "lack of visibility" of Wikipedia articles which was noticed by librarians from different countries. Articles and references relating to local history mean a lot for small communities but very often they are not accepted for publication because of “lack of notability”.
We want to generate a broad discussion and develop solutions which can be satisfactory to librarians, the regional community and Wikipedia editors.
