An issue

People gonna hate me for this, but this needs to be addressed. No doubt, there is an insurmountable significance when asked the notability. However, the question is not focused on notability, but rather on the floodgate issue: what can we do to avoid waves of unnecessary fan-made content added onto Halopedia. Thus, to what extent are we gonna allow fan-made content on this wiki? There needs to be a limit or some kind of guideline that sets what is permitted and what is not.

A few notes to remind others: Halopedia focuses only on official content with a few of fan-made ones that was published alongside official products (i.e. Warthog Jump game featured on HBO, which is also featured on H3 special disc). The wiki does focus on community sites such as Rampancy.net, HBO and Halomaps.org, but community site is a category not interchangeable with content such as literary/artistic/animation works. Certain fan-made content such as Oonsk has been removed from Halopedia as it was forced popularity, while others such as Mister Chief was allowed since they were created by members of the officials.

And yes, I am aware that I've created a few in the past.— subtank 10:00, 2 November 2011 (EDT)

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 User:CommanderTony/Sig

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.
