If the page is about an interval that is fairly simple (as a heuristic: if it has a numerator and denominator each 2 digits or less or [[Wilson height]] below 40), then it can be a main space page, as long as it has at least a full paragraph of human-written content, rather than consisting mostly of just templates.

If the page is about an [[equal-step tuning|equal tuning]] (ET), proceed with caution. You need to be able to write at least a paragraph of manual, human-written content, which would not be easy to figure out by someone just looking at tables already provided on the ET page (for instance "this EDO performs well in the 2.9.15.11.17.23 subgroup" is easily readable from the table of harmonics generally provided right below such a statement, and is therefore considered trivial to derive), and which in some way points uniquely to that specific ET ("this EDO tempers out [comma]" or "this EDO supports [temperament]" ''on their own'' do not specify why that particular ET is important as a tuning thereof). ~~Note~~ also ~~that all~~ pages for [[EDO]]s and [[EDT]]s below a few hundred have already been created, implying the remainder of ET pages either have hundreds or thousands of steps (putting a greater burden on notability that way), or have obscure [[~~equaves~~]] (which need further justification for considering). ~~Also note that we~~ require that any new pages on EDOs, EDTs, etc. to be linked to from the main page EDO, EDT, etc. itself; these links have to be inserted manually for EDOs over 1000 and EDTs over 300, and consider the fact that the EDO page is semi-protected into the calculation~~. If you can do all of that, it can be a main space page, otherwise, it should be a user page~~.

If you can do all of that, it can be a main space page, otherwise, it should be a user page. But note also the following:

* All pages for [[EDO]]s and [[EDT]]s below a few hundred have already been created, implying the remainder of ET pages either have hundreds or thousands of steps (putting a greater burden on notability that way), or have obscure [[equave]]s (which need further justification for considering).

* We require that any new pages on EDOs, EDTs, etc. to be linked to from the main page EDO, EDT, etc. itself; these links have to be inserted manually for EDOs over 1000 and EDTs over 300, and consider the fact that the EDO page is semi-protected into the calculation.
