Line 97:
I want to provide ideas rather than questions, since asking questions seems to get a lot of misdirected answers. So I'm going to propose a couple specific criteria on the process, then we can decide whether to throw out what I've proposed or to modify it.
My suggested criteria:
1. Articles about real-world content must be properly categorized, and must feature a template at the top of the article mentioning that it concerns real-world material (this is to clearly separate it from canon).
Line 108:
You'll note that I still do not define what is notable - since that idea is so incredibly difficult to put a definite definition on, I think our best course of action is to simply let the community decide it on a case-by-case basis, taking into account previous decisions as well. Regarding article review, any user can start a review under my proposal, but a review would not be automatic and it would not be required that every article be reviewed (unless such a review was triggered).
Please don't hesitate to suggest revisions or to propose your own versions of criteria.
:Just a slight revision to your second criteria: I think you should mention that there are no limits on creation of real-world content as long as it is in some way, shape, or form relevant to the sims. So, no articles on Minecraft on a wiki about the Sims. {{PGRSig}} 03:08, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
::I oppose with the idea of (2) saying there's no limitation on creating the real-world article. Basically, we'll give freedom to what is created, no matter how un-notable the RW article is (i.e. random RW article). This will usually lead to immediate deletion, which will make it more difficult to moderate, not to mention if we miss any unworthy articles somehow.
::I say we need to restrict some subjects anyhow, give an example of limits that fan articles from YouTube is restricted from creation. When someone creates a page concerning this, it'll be worth pointing out why the page deserves to be made (maybe because it really '''is''' notable). By this, we will be able to tell that some subjects are noteworthy (or worth discussing), instead of letting ''anyone'' create ''any'' RW articles about Sims. Note that this is conjectural and may not work anyway especially if an editor never found out about this discussion.
