This page is for Reliability, not notability. Not all of these sites are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article, but some may be reliable enough to be used as sources of information for other Wikipedia articles.
Any source which is found used in a Featured Article is in the #Used in FA section. All other sites are in #My research, though they're not necessarily reliable as they may not have been evaluated and only preliminarily researched. Just because a source is used in a Featured Article does not mean it was properly vetted during FAC, and we can not just assume it is reliable.
