Forum:CT Archive/Fan topics

Yesterday, I created page for Star Wars Reads Day, only to have it deleted without process or notice. I don't like my pages being deleted without process or notice. I could understand if my page was obviously junk, but when stuff like Darth Vader hot air balloon and SuperShadow exists, I think I had every reason to believe my page would be allowable. How is a page about an officially licensed program that has been going on for three years and attracts visits by top Star Wars authors like Aaron Allston and Ryder Windham less valid for the site then a page about some loser nobody liked who ran a website that spread a whole bunch of lies about Star Wars? If pages on fan topics in general aren't wanted on Wookieepedia, then I propose a vote regarding the matter. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:06, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Vote 1: Keep on a case-by-case basis, automatic if official
Under this method, any current and future articles would be kept on a case-by-case basis. Fan articles are automatically considered notable if it's something that was commissioned by Lucasfilm, like the Star Wars Reads Day, or acknowledged by Lucasfilm. Articles deemed not notable will be marked with a new template similar to the  template and moved to Fanpedia.

Support

 * Articles on notable fan topics have long been a part of Wookieepedia. I see no reason not to continue to allow them on a case-by-case basis, and those that aren't allowable can be listed on Fanpedia. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:06, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Vote 2: Keep on a case-by-case basis
Same as above, but there is no automatic keep criteria.

Vote 3: Disallow, keep legacy articles
New articles on such topics will not be allowed, but existing articles of such nature will be kept.

Vote 4: Disallow, move
New articles of this nature will not be allowed and legacy articles like SuperShadow, Star Wars: The Exhibition and Star Wars: Smuggler's Gambit will be moved to Fanpedia.
