Notability assertion is a mechanism for articles to be marked as ineligible for notability-motivated article for deletion discussions.
Rationale
[edit]The intention is that the notability assertion template can be used to offer some protection to articles that are not being actively watched so that AfDs may go unnoticed. Editors can simply add their names at the linked page if they believe that the subject is notable. Any actual description of the nature of the notability is usually better done in the article itself.
If the undersigned editors are in good standing, or were so when they left the project, and their number outweighs the number of people believing the article is to be deleted, deletion should not be considered as a possible future for the article. Likewise, merging a lemma that has been marked notable in its own right to another article should be discouraged.
