Forum:CT Archive/Fansite webmasters

Fansite webmasters are currently accepted as "notable fans" on Wookieepedia. But are they really? I think it's time to modify our Notability of fan projects policy to exclude these people. Consider: Does creating and maintaining a website make a person a notable fan?

Note that this would only affect articles on people who are recognized purely because they run fan sites (such as Eric Przybylski). Articles on people like Curtis Saxton would still be kept, because they're recognized for other work.

My proposed addition:
 * Webmasters: If a person is recognized purely for creating and/or maintaining a Star Wars fan site, he is not considered notable enough to warrant his own article.

Please do not add any further options to this consensus track.

In favor of addition

 * 1) Very much so. --Imperialles 14:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
