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). 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:
