== Standard for significant coverage ==

I could swear I read somewhere discussing what the standard for SIGCOV is and concluding it was 3 meaty paragraphs, but I can't find where it is. It feels like it might've been a userspace essay, but I have no idea. If someone knows what I'm thinking of, I'd very much appreciate a link.

:The standard varies by topic. For companies, one can have 3 meaty paragraphs about [[WP:CORPROUTINE|routine activities]], which doesn't really count as significant coverage. For academics, no significant coverage of the person is required at all if any of the [[WP:NACADEMIC]] criteria are met.
:You may be thinking of various discussions you've seen in which the term "meaty paragraphs" gets mentioned a number of times in people's personal views. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22meaty+paragraphs%22&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns4=1]
:In my case, I like to see more than 1 paragraph ''and'' more than half of the cited source giving coverage. ~[[User:Anachronist|Anachronist]] (who / me) <small>([[User talk:Anachronist|talk]])</small> 00:24, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
:The only thing [[WP:SIGCOV]] has to say on the matter is that significant coverage {{tq|addresses the topic directly and in detail}} and is {{tq|more than a trivial mention}}. The details are, I suspect, left intentionally vague, because as Anachronist has said, significant coverage must be evaluated in context.
