The result was keep. The nominator makes, in his deletion rationale, an argument that the article meets GNG. So long as the article meets that rationale, the article is deemed notable. (non-admin closure) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 00:10, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article jams two non-notable topics into one page. NaiLab and Sam Gichuru may meet WP:GNG but they fail WP:ORG and WP:BIO. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Gichuru. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the subject meets WP:GNG then it is notable. There is no requirement to meet any further notability guideline. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:35, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case why do we have all of the notability guidelines for specific topic areas? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:47, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure I've seen it explained to you several times before that a topic is regarded as notable if it passes either the general notability guideline or one of the special guidelines. There is no requirement to pass both. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:13, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If a subject passes the general notability guideline, then there is no need for it to pass other notability guidelines. The reason we have notability is to make sure that a reliable article can be written from a sufficient amount of coverage in reliable sources. Notability guidelines exist to provide instances where we can assume such coverage exists. If such coverage does exist, then the topic is notable, regardless of other guidelines.
