====Notability cannot be measured for some historical and international topics====
Because there is no simple measure of notability, many subjects that are historically notable, or notable in regions with little internet presence, are deleted based on the [[Wikipedia:Search engine test|modern test]] of "I can't find information about them online".  In addition, subjects from regions that do not use the Latin alphabet may have content online in their native language, but little or no content if searched for with the Latin version of their name.  Most historical persons of note, in their time, do not have information online, because Google is not the repository of all knowledge.  An online search, for historical persons of note, is biased toward modern persons, therefore should not be the criteria for determination of notability.
