If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic, though subjects that do not meet the guideline at one point in time may do so as time passes and more sources come into existence. However, articles should not be written based on [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball|speculation]] that the topic may receive additional coverage in the future.

The notability guidelines determine whether a topic is notable enough to be a ''separate article'' in Wikipedia. They do not regulate the ''content of articles'', except for lists of people<ref>See [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Lists of people]]</ref>. Instead, various [[:Category:Wikipedia content policy|content policies]] govern article content.
However, becauseBecause of the nature of an encyclopedia, the concept of notability nonetheless affects article content. Treat each aspect with a [[WP:DUE|weight]] appropriate to its significance to the subject. Attend to anything that may construe undue weight, including depth of detail, quantity of text, prominence of placement, and juxtaposition of statements. Keep in mind that an encyclopedia article is a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Rex071404|not a complete exposition]] of all possible details.<ref>See [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Rex071404]]</ref> For example, the [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notability guideline for people]] states that lists of people are not meant to be exhaustive.<ref>See [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Lists of people]]</ref>
Article content is also governed by various [[:Category:Wikipedia content policy|content policies]].
