Wikipedia articles should be future-proof; that is any future events that occur should be recorded. This is related to WP:N but instead of past or existing notability, is based on predicting future coverage.
- Biographies of living persons and WP:BLP1E. Biographical subjects should be notable enough that their death would likely result in adequate coverage (usually an obituary in a reliable source). This is essentially central to the concept of BLP1E. If somebody is not important enough that their death would be covered in a reliable source, they're not going to be notable enough to have a Wikipedia article.
- Companies should be big enough that and mergers/acquisitions etc., are recorded somewhere.
- Please add other examples.
