If one is unsure about meeting the below criteria, these should be '''user pages'''.

If the page is about a [[comma]] such that at least one of the following is true: tempering it out has very low [[badness]] and sensible structural interpretation in a ''non-absurd'' [[subgroup]], it is incidental to multiple temperaments elsewhere documented on the wiki, or it has [[essentially tempered chords]] in a reasonable odd-limit, then it can be a main space page - provided that its particular xenharmonic value is explained and 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 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 must not consist of simple, superficial observations that can be ''easily obtained'' 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 must in some way ''point 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:

* 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 in the first place).
