| ''The Sun'' was deprecated in the 2019 RfC. There is consensus that ''The Sun'' is generally unreliable. [[WP:CITE|References]] from ''The Sun'' are actively discouraged from being used in any article and they should not be used for determining the [[WP:N|notability]] of any subject. The RfC does not override [[WP:ABOUTSELF]], which allows the use of ''The Sun'' for uncontroversial self-descriptions. Some editors consider ''The Sun'' usable for uncontroversial sports reporting, although more reliable sources are recommended.
