"Piece" and "Composition" can generally be used interchangeably - both refer to any musical work, although "piece" usually connotes a less substantial musical work then "composition" does.

A live-action film adaptation for the ''Halo'' franchise was in production in 2005, with Peter Jackson as the executive producer and Neill Blomkamp as the director. A [[wikipedia:development hell|development hell]], the production underwent numerous changes and conflict of interest between parties until it was declared dead in 2007.
== Production history ==
=== The "Halo Phenomenon" and early negotiations ===
Following the success of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', Bungie Studios was approached by Hollywood producers to produce a film adaptation of the game.<ref name="hollyjourney01">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=6403 '''Bungie.net''': ''The Great (Hollywood) Journey, Part One'']</ref> [[Joseph Staten|Joe Staten]], on Bungie's studio manage Pete Parsons' advice, travelled to Hollywood to discuss the terms of the production and the sales but later declined to give the project the green light due concerns over creative control of the production.


The film project was revived when then-Columbia Pictures president Peter Schlessel approached Bungie Studios.<ref name="hollyjourney01"/> Schlessel's proposal for the film project was rather straightforward: ''"Finance the script yourselves. Hire a writer, have him write something you love, then bring it to Hollywood with a simple message: 'This is the movie we want to make. Who wants to make it with us?'"'' He also recommended several writers to assist with the scriptwriting; Bungie chose Alex Garland (known for his [[wikipedia:28 Days Later|28 Days Later]] screenplay).<ref name="hollyjourney01"/> Garland's script was then pitched to studios by couriers dressed as Master Chief.<ref name="courier">[http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/622/622951p1.html '''IGN''': ''Halo Movie Script Delivered'']</ref>
== Project: Meet the team ==

'''Objective''': A more welcoming design of the [[Project:Halopedians|Halopedians]], [[Project:Administrators|administrators]], [[Project:Patrollers|patrollers]], and the like. Everything combined under one page, or at least with a good navigation to those pages.

This policy details Halopedia's stand on notability, which is loosely based off Wikipedia's notability policy. The focus of this policy is to provide a clear guideline for any form of content
|}
 
== Overview ==
In the dictionary, notable means "worthy of attention or notice." It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance," and even content that editors personally believe are "important" or "famous" are only accepted as notable if they can be shown to have attracted notice (see [[#Requirements|Requirements]]). Like Wikipedia, Halopedia bases its decision about whether content is notable enough to justify a separate article on the verifiable evidence that the content has attracted.
 
Content recognised by the official parties of the Halo franchise are exempted from this criteria.<ref group="note">In this policy, '''Official parties of the Halo franchise''' shall be limited to the staff of 343 Industries, Bungie, and Ensemble Studios, and its licensees.</ref> Simple recognition is insufficient recognition: in other to be considered "recognised", the content must be included in an official Halo product.
 
== Requirements ==
Keeping in mind that all articles must conform with the policy on verifiability to reliable sources, and mere description of the information by official sources are not sufficient toy establish notability; they may be notable based on meeting one of the following requirements:
 
=== General content ===
A content shall be deemed worthy of having its own article when it can be shown that it has all the necessary qualities of an article. It must be shown that:
*it has significant coverage to the extent that it is more than a trivial mention; or
*there is a foreseeable certainty that the information will see sufficient and future growth; and
*the information has reliable and reputable sources that are independent of the subject.<ref group="note">"Reliable and reputable sources" would adopt a similar description of Wikipedia's own [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Independent_sources|independent sources]]. Examples of independent third-parties are [[halo.bungie.org]], [[Ascendant Justice (blog)]] and [[rampancy.net]].</ref>
 
If the content is not notable, it can be included in Halopedia by adding it into relevant articles if it has the appropriate level of detail and significance for that article such as [[Pre-Xbox Halo]], or if it can be described in a relevant list such as [[List of food and drinks]]. If the information is essentially a copy of a wiki entry, a simple link to that wiki will suffice and that information should be kept in a form of a summary.<ref group="note">This is also to ensure that Halopedia complies with wiki's own attribution policy.</ref>
 
=== Fan content ===
The requirement under this section is loosely based off Wookieepedia's [[w:c:Wookieepedia:Notability of fan projects|notability policy for fan content]]. Articles on fan content, such as websites, games or webcomics, are allowed on Halopedia as long as they are '''sufficiently notable'''. In order to show notability, an article on a fan content must pass at least one of the "recognition" requirements as well as the "content" requirement:
 
;Recognition
*'''Official recognition''': A fan content which has received official recognition by official parties of the Halo franchise may be a suitable subject for an article.
*'''Independent, third party recognition''': A fan content which has reliable and reputable sources may have sufficient recognition, even if official recognition is absent or limited to brief mentions.
*'''Fan recognition''': A fan content which has not been mentioned in mainstream media or recognized by official sources may still be notable if it has widespread recognition within the Star Wars fan community. Note that this is the hardest form of recognition to substantiate, and the standards of evidence must be correspondingly high.
 
;Content
*A fan content must be non-trivial (i.e. completed and of substantial scale within its genre).
