Forum:SH Archive/Notability guidelines

After viewing the current trash compactor thread for a certain Ugnaught and talking to others on the IRC I think it's time we at least discuss what we'd want from notability guidelines. This preferably means coming up with a set of criteria that a subject must meet to be counted as notable and considered deserving of an article. These criteria can then be used in future TC threads that come up for articles considered unnecessary including hopefully those concerning real world items found in the Star Wars universe. As an inclusionist I would prefer these requirements to be pretty minimal but even I admit that there needs to be some kind of threshold in terms of notability that an article should meet in order to exist on the wook. Tope made an initial suggestion of articles having to meet one of these three criteria - a) the subject has unique dialogue, b) performs some unique, distinguishable action, or c) appears in more than one Appearance/Source. I would add that if it's named it also deserves an article which seems pretty obvious but for some subjects may literally be all the information available, which doesn't meet any of the above criteria. I am hoping this thread will allow users to give their own ideas for criteria and eventually result in a number of possible guidelines which can be voted on at a Mofference or in a CT.
