Notable is a word that should be avoided in article space with few exceptions. The word "notable" is commonly used to talk about articles in Wikipedia space and talk space, that is, in the context of Wikipedia:Notability. No article should ever need to describe its topic, or anything related to its topic as "notable" in this same context. Here's why.
1. Saying an article's topic is "notable" is redundant to the article existing. If the article's topic were not notable, there would not be an article about it on Wikipedia.
- WRONG: This club is notable because it was attended by T. S. Eliot.
- RIGHT: This club was attended by T. S. Eliot.
2. Saying something relating to an article's topic is "notable" is redundant to that thing being wikilinked.
- WRONG: Notable former members of the club include T. S. Eliot...
- RIGHT: Former members of the club include T. S. Eliot...
If the target is a redlink, but you are sure that it is notable, explain why (and source it).
- Former members of the club include Lee Martin, whose novel The Bright Forever won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
3. Embedded lists of "notable people" relating to an article's topic are redundant to categories and lists (whose titles should never contain the word "notable")
Lists of "notable artists" in articles about types of music and similar things are completely unencyclopedic, and serve as vanity magnets for people to add links to their Spotify page to the article, and also ensure that 80% of edits to this article are people adding their favourite bands, who of course can't be bothered to explain why that band or artist is particularly special within that style. If you're coming here to add a bunch of wikilinks to a list of "notable artists", especially if they're red links, go and write some prose in the article instead, or write a new article about this artist, with sources, explaining why they are so special within the genre (without using the word "notable").
4. Any article which claims its subject is "notable" without explaining why can be speedily deleted.
CSD A7 (and in some cases also CSD A1) can be employed to delete articles which read like "Slaughter The Fray are a notable 6-piece rock band from Tampa Bay, Florida" without any further discussion. Using the word "notable" without elaborating does not qualify as a claim to notability which is required for an article to escape A7.
