From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an in-progress project of mine to be able to programmatically look through all low-importance stub articles in a given WikiProject, creating a ranked list of notability based on Google Scholar publications.

This can only be a way to approximate the relative notability of different subjects w.r.t. scientific analysis, but would not work as a way to determine whether an article is not notable enough to exist, since in theory it could have a lot of non-scholarly data available.

How to make[edit]

How to get low-importance stub articles[edit]

The goal is to programmatically grab data from here, but idk how to do that yet.

How to get Google Scholar publications[edit]

We can manually batch multiple queries using the pipe operator;

allintitle:“acheron fossae”|”aeolis mensae”

This is good because it will limit the requests we make through the API. Once we’ve grabbed a combined list, we can look through the list client-side to deduce exactly which publications relate to which article.
