The mere existence of a claim regarding these topics warrants documentation of the topic of the claim, regardless of whether it can be verified by a particular standard. Documenting these topics in an encyclopedic way synthesizes the available claims about them and shows how they interrelate, which helps to provide a more clear understanding of a [[Ikwipedia:Hypothesis of Ikwipedia|coherent framework that accounts for them all, if such a framework exists]].

This permissive notability standard does not necessarily extend to all topics. Content which would not be found in a comparable Wikipedia article — even on an otherwise-notable subject and supported by otherwise-reliable sources, such as claims that primarily concern public figures' private lives — and which is not paradigm-shifting in the sense described is most likely not notable unless it specifically relates to inherently notable topics.
