:Same as we've done in the past: only keep the most popular of the popular and reputable of the reputable on Halopedia. If I remember correctly, ''Red vs. Blue'', ''Arby 'n' the Chief'', and ''Operation Chastity'' are the only significant fan-made content articles here on Halopedia at the moment. Don't see why we should give up that stance now. Saying that however, as with previous fan made works, I still believe that the content allowed for these articles should be extremely limited to the status of the work; the most I personally would allow for ''A Fistful of Arrows'' would be this article, maybe one highlighting Levi's work, and perhaps a little mention in Jun-A266's trivia section. Oh, and we do hate you. :P | :Same as we've done in the past: only keep the most popular of the popular and reputable of the reputable on Halopedia.

::Red vs Blue has a pseudo-official status; they were mentioned/previewed in H3's special edition package. The other two, like you said, is of special status for being widely popular. | ::Red vs Blue has a pseudo-official status; they were mentioned/previewed in H3's special edition package.

:::Well even if it isn't as popular as ''Red vs. Blue'' or other works, the content of his work is merit enough to award such an article. Especially when so many people feel so highly about its content and their views towards it. Who knows....maybe this is what 343i needs to push it into canon [dreaming, quite doubtful :)] | :::Well even if it isn't as popular as ''Red vs. Blue'' or other works, the content of his work is merit enough to award such an article.

::Then comes the writer of this page: Actually, there are 17 (1*7 = '''7''' :o) [[ | ::Then comes the writer of this page: Actually, there are 17 (1*7 = '''7''' :o) [[Category:Fan-Made|fan-made]] materials here on Halopedia. In my opinion, most of these articles are probably first written by people who really, ''really'', '''''really''''' enjoyed that fan-made material. To be honest, I really, ''really'', '''''really''''' did enjoy this comic. But, if this will unlock the Flood research facility, I will not mind deleting this page, and absolutely not hate anyone for it. Maybe we can set a policy, that only fan-made materials mentioned by 343i or Bungie is notable enough, but that may seem too harsh. Sorry for not asking permission before starting this page. I remember there was a discussion on this before, somewhere. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|Tank beats]] [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Everything!]])</sub> 10:47, 2 November 2011 (EDT) | ||
:While our main focus is undoubtedly on official content, I have no problem with the wiki documenting the most exceptional and well-known fan works. As for notability, I think it should be judged individually on a case-by-case basis, and common sense, overall popularity, even official recognition should be enough to determine whether the subject deserves its own page. If we start contesting the notability of ''A Fistful of Arrows'', I personally think it's way more notable than something like ''[[Halo: Faith]]'' or ''[[Operation Chastity]]'' - as far as I can tell, there isn't even a trailer out for either of the films so far. Meanwhile, ''A Fistful of Arrows'' has been recognized by both Bungie and 343i more than once, not to mention being hugely popular, well-known and overwhelmingly well received across the community. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 11:07, 2 November 2011 (EDT) | :While our main focus is undoubtedly on official content, I have no problem with the wiki documenting the most exceptional and well-known fan works.

As per Jugus. I haven't seen too many other cases where "hordes" of people have tried to push fan-made content onto this wiki, save for their own fanfiction, so I think it should still be easy enough to tell anyway following this which are notable and which are not, and that we shouldn't worry about a "slippery slope." Looking at the Fan-made category, some of the mentioned seem less than notable, (but that might be a consequence of time or keeping up with the news) at least less notable than this fellow discussed here. Because it '''HAS''' been recognized by Bungie and 343. A LOT. Something like say, [http://company0051.deviantart.com/ Company 0051]? Still popular, but less noted by the developers, therefore it stays off. (Sorry Jameson.)
