Template talk:Fan Works

Selective?
Aren't we being selective by promoting certain content such as Sangheili's War, Company 0051, and ODSteve? While I'm all out for promoting fan projects, the editor needs to remind themselves whether the content meets that acceptable threshold of notability)? I would love to create an article on one of Leviathan's visual work of "Ghosts of Onyx" but I won't. Another example of a good fan project was this popular RPG game in some website a while ago where you build your own SPARTAN and fight against other player's SPARTAN (can't remember the name thought). Or how about that Pelican flight game hosted on HBO? All of these, as good as they may be, do not meet the notability threshold and I can say for sure these three content (Sangheili's War, Company 0051, and ODSteve) fall within this category unfortunately. Note: Preference must be secondary, Objective must be primary. —  subtank   10:04, 16 March 2013 (EDT)


 * The requirements that I had was that it needed to have some kind of official recognition from either Bungie or 343, have a significantly large audience, and be a series, not a single one-shot. Sangheili's War was featured by Bungie, as the link on its page showed, and one can't visit LBO without noticing it too. Episodes of ODS Steve appear on Waypoint when they're published, and BS Angel herself used to be involved with the comic. 0051 is slightly more of a stretch, I admit, since while it definitely meets the audience requirement, it hasn't been directly featured on Waypoint. But I actually talked to BS Angel about this, and she said that she enjoys reading 0051 but hasn't featured it because it's too long for Weekly Webcomic. Instead, she's featured other artwork by Jameson, in hopes those who visit it will stumble upon 0051 and read it in their own time. If it failed to met the notability and recognition, like, say, Levi's Halo: Shield and Sword project or the Halo: Gifts of the Ancients fan film, then I left it off.
