[[Human|Some people]] think [[Earth|this speck]] is [[Wikipedia|pretty significant]]. [[Astronomer|Others]] may view it as [[galaxy|a minor point of a much more significant topic]]. They are both wrong. The question is: [[WP:N|Is it notable]] and [[WP:V|can it be verified]]?]]<br /> <br /> Sometimes when confronted with &quot;trivial details&quot; it may be tempting to just say, &quot;well, gosh, that&#039;s just [[Insignificance|insignificant]].&quot; But remember: What is insignificant to some may be extremely significant to others, and vice versa.<br /> <br /> That debate misses the point entirely. What is important is [[WP:N|notability]] and [[WP:V|verifiability]], the bedrock principles that ground Wikipedia articles.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Logical fallacy]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:You Are Probably Not a Lexicologist or a Lexicographer]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Call a spade a spade]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:How many legs does a horse have?]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article]]<br /> <br /> {{Wikipedia essays|notability}}</div>
