# '''[[Directory (databases) | Directories]], directory entries, TV/Radio Guides''', or a '''resource for conducting business.''' For example, an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, schedules etc., although mention of major events or promotions may be acceptable. Furthermore, the Talk pages associated with an article are for talking about the article, not for conducting the business of the topic of the article. '''Centiare is not the [[yellow pages]]'''.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of items of information. That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. While there is a continuing debate about the encyclopedic merits of several ''classes'' of entries, current consensus is that Wikipedia articles are not simply:

While there is a continuing debate about the encyclopedic merits of several ''classes'' of entries, current consensus is that Centiare articles are not simply:

# '''Lists of [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions]].''' Wikipedia articles should not list FAQs. Instead, format the information provided as neutral prose within the appropriate article(s).

# '''Travel guides.''' An article on [[Paris]] should mention landmarks such as the [[Eiffel Tower]] and the [[Louvre]], but not the telephone number or street address of your favorite hotel or the price of a ''café au lait'' on the [[Champs-Élysées]]. Such details are, however, very welcome at [[Wikitravel]], but note that due to license incompatibility you cannot copy content wholesale unless you are the copyright holder.

# '''Memorials.''' Wikipedia is not the place to honor departed friends and relatives. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must be [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notable]] besides being fondly remembered.

# '''Instruction manuals.''' While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instructions or advice ([[Wikipedia:Legal disclaimer|legal]], [[Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer|medical]], or otherwise), suggestions, or contain "how-to"s. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides, and recipes. Note that this does not apply to the Wikipedia: namespace, where "how-to"s relevant to editing Wikipedia itself are appropriate, such as [[Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Dia]]. If you're interested in a how-to style manual, you may want to look at [http://wikihow.com Wikihow] or our sister project [[Wikibooks]].

# '''Internet guides.''' Wikipedia articles should not exist '''only''' to describe the nature, appearance or services a website offers, but should describe the site in an ''encyclopedic manner'', offering detail on a website's achievements, impact or historical significance, which can be significantly more up-to-date than most reference sources since we can incorporate new developments and facts as they are made known. See [[current events]] for examples.

# '''Textbooks and annotated texts.''' Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not a textbook. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach a subject matter. It is not appropriate to create or edit articles which read as textbooks, with leading questions and step-by-step problem solutions as examples. These belong on our sister project, [[Wikibooks]].

#'''Plot summaries.''' Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot. A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic.
