User:FuFoFuEd/Comparing apples with apples
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Often in WP:AfD discussion WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is invoked. However, when a reliable source compares or lists several items and assets that they are popular, well-know, notable, etc., it is a appropriate to use it in support of the notability of one of the items in the list relative to the others, because such comparison is made by an authority in the field, and it's not just a (crap) assertion of a random Wikipedian.
