::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)
