The [[Halopedia:Notability Policy|notability policy]] provides a general guidelines on determining notability. Based on the current examples given in this discussion, most would fail the second criteria (e.g. subject has foreseeable growth, thus should be awarded its own article) but fit within the first (e.g. subject mentioned in a List as it does not have any foreseeable growth). So, I don't think we really need a new policy for real world figures. As for voice actor mention in character article, we've already done that by putting it in the trivia. Voice actors should be in the first bulletpoint in the trivia section; take [[Miranda_Keyes#Trivia|Miranda Keyes's trivia section]] as an example. And it is a better practice to keep separating in-universe info from real-world. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 13:41, 4 September 2012 (EDT) | The [[Halopedia:Notability Policy|notability policy]] provides a general guidelines on determining notability.

:We don't need a completely '''new''' policy. We just need to set an example for the notability of real world figures. I am also aware most of the characters articles have the voice actor included in the trivia section. My point is, these articles about individual Bungie employees can't be expanded and should be considered for deletion. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[User profile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub> 06:46, 5 September 2012 (EDT) | :We don't need a completely '''new''' policy.

::Every case should be judged individually and there are always exceptions, but I imagine that a basic precedent would go something like this: | |||
::# If the person hasn't appeared prominently outside credits (e.g. in conventions, ViDocs, etc) or isn't otherwise noteworthy for some specific thing, then it's usually safe to say they don't deserve an article. | |||
::# If the page only contains one or two paragraphs with the name of the person, their job, an ultimately irrelevant trivial fact or two, and possibly a list of games they may have worked on, and there is no real potential for expansion, then it's probably not noteworthy (this is true for many less-known Bungie employees, e.g. [[Ryan Hylland]], [[Deena Lawrence]]) | |||
::# If our [[:Category:Credits|credits pages]] contains as much information as the article on that person, then it's certainly not noteworthy (e.g. [[Tim Williams]], [[Roberta Browne]], [[Matthew Burns]]) | |||
::You can go ahead and delete-tag any articles that don't fill any of those criteria. --[[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> 01:49, 6 September 2012 (EDT) | |||
