Towing from relevant Senate Hall:

The current version of Wookieepedia:Notability of fan projects reads (#2, Requirements):

"Mainstream recognition. Fan-related subjects that receive extensive and, most importantly, mainstream media recognition may be suitable for an article on Wookieepedia. Note that this is the most difficult form of recognition to substantiate. Media coverage must be both substantial (in number and size) and from a major mainstream outlet that is not specifically devoted to Star Wars news, including but not limited to news media, entertainment trades, or entertainment websites. Any single mention or a few mentions from a mainstream media outlet(s) does not automatically qualify."

Proposed added words are bolded:

"Mainstream recognition. Fan-related subjects or real-world individuals that receive extensive and, most importantly, mainstream media recognition may be suitable for an article on Wookieepedia. Note that this is the most difficult form of recognition to substantiate. Media coverage must be both substantial (in number and size) and from a major mainstream outlet that is not specifically devoted to Star Wars news, including but not limited to news media, entertainment trades, or entertainment websites. Any single mention or a few mentions from a mainstream media outlet(s) does not automatically qualify."

The other stuff on the SH was brought up for some initial thoughts, but it's a pretty complex topic that'll probably need to be addressed with a bit more research in a follow-up SH (since it's wider in scope than one policy).—spookywillowwtalk 23:54, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
