Information on Venipedia must be reliable and verifiable.

Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable and reputable sources. Sources should have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, and be independent of the subject. Citing sources is one of the core elements of Venipedia and is a policy for every article on Venipedia. Any unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Sources should also be appropriate to the claims made; for example, outlandish claims need very strong sources. If you're not sure if your sources are good enough, explore the types of sources used on other Venipedia pages.

Note: other Venipedia articles are not reliable sources (though you can of course copy relevant sources from other Venipedia articles).

Good sources

1. have a reputation for reliability: Venipedia follows a similar policy to Wikipedia on this subject matter, for more information, please see the Wikipedia article on identifying reliable sources
2. are independent of the subject
3. are verifiable by other editors: again, Venipedia follows a similar policy to Wikipedia on sources considered verifiable, see the Wikipedia article on verifiable sources.

If your article does not cite reliable, independent sources, it may be deleted.
