Wikipedia core content policies to accept a Content

Wikipedia content approval depends upon three main content approval principles:

2. Verifiability
3. No original research

Neutral point of view

Wikipedia articles and other content related material must be written fairly and neutrally fairly and neutrally. The biased and unproportioned content and data are not accepted by Wikipedia.

Verifiability

The reliable source of the material or information is our utmost priority, as the material or information presented in Wikipedia is likely to be challenged by different sources. So the verifiability of the material is crucial to avoid Plagiarism and claims about the source of the data.

No original research

Wikipedia does not publish original thoughts and research all the material published in Wikipedia must be attributed to a reliable published source. The article may not contain any new analysis or research that lacks source justification. All the material published in Wikipedia must carry references and bibliography representation of the sources of the data or information. This makes the concreteness of the data and information presented by Wikipedia.

The synergy of these pillars

These Three main pillars of Wikipedia complement each other, you can’t separate them from each other and you are judging content depending upon only one pillar and neglecting the other pillars.
These policies establish the category and superiority of matter that is adequate in Wikipedia articles. They should not be interpreted in remoteness from one another.
