GearKnob Wiki:Notability

Much like Wikipedia, GearKnob practices a policy of notability to decide whether or not a given topic deserves an article. These are separated into tiers, with 1 being highest priority, and 3 usually being the lowest.

Television shows

Much of what can be included has already been mentioned on the main page. As a result, any television programme connected to the Top Gear intellectual property is an automatic Tier 1 inclusion.

• Tier 2 programmes are any other series unrelated to Top Gear, but have a good majority or even entirety of their runs available for online streaming, such as Motorweek, Best Motoring and Autofil.
• Tier 3 programmes are all other car-related series which have indeterminable or unknown runs, such as NBC Super Channel's Go, Eurosport's Motors, and STV's Wheel Nuts.

Personalities

• Tier 1 personalities are hosts for highly well-known television series or people who have otherwise contributed a lot to the world of automotive journalism, such as Jeremy Clarkson, Tiff Needell and Keiichi Tsuchiya.
• Tier 2 personalities are lead presenters for long-running television series regardless of notability and long-term lead editors on magazines, such as Carl-Ingemar Perstad, Akihiko Nakaya, and Charlie Turner.
• Tier 3 personalities are presenters who presented at least 5 episodes of a Tier 1 TV show, crew members who worked on at least 15 - 20 episodes of a Tier 1 TV show, or crew members who worked on a majority of a Tier 2 programme's run.
• Tier 4 personalities do not get their own article, but are instead included on list-based articles. These include presenters who presented fewer than 5 episodes of a Tier 1 TV show or crew members who worked on fewer than 15 episodes.
