What is gained
by creating this second class of verifiability? Why do
article topics need to be super-verified? Or, more specifically, why
is normal, garden-variety verifiability not good enough for article
topics? And if it's not good enough for article topics, why is it
good enough for your garden variety information?
Regardless of what you call it, it is perfectly obvious that the
threshold for including something in an article should be lower than
the threshold for giving something its own article. The alternative
would result in Wikipedia being a website containing billions is
interlinked stubs with nothing else since as soon as anything was
deemed worthy of getting added to an article it would be split of into
its own article.
Sure, but when something falls in that intermediate range between the
two levels we have an argument for merger, and clearly not for deletion.
