This page is a draft for a proposed new WP:SUST guideline.

This page in a nutshell: Summary statements in an article must be supported by text in the article itself.

All material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable published source. A statements in an article may summarize parts of the article itself, in this case the statement is attributable to a section of the article itself. Summary statements may not be attributable to another article.

Summary statements are typically used in the lead of an article or in the introduction to a section with subsections.
