In Response To: Re: Why does it matter? (Subtank) : Yes, Halopedia is not a fan-fiction site (as per H:NOT) but there are several : policies such as the H:Notability which enables user to get around the : H:NOT if he/she can prove that articles such as Oonsk are actually well : known around the Halo Nation. In order to do that, they would have to : satisfy the Notability test (H:Notability) which requires more than two : administrative approvals. The H:Notability is still in the grey area and : because of this, Halopedia uses Wikipedia's Notability as a precedent. : (Law is biased, for example: Wikipedia doesn't consider Halopedia as a : notable site.) : } Halopedia Policies.
What I posted before was really a comment on the idiocy of the interpretation of this rule. These are all items that you can't really classify as fan fiction. So if you are classifying all user generated content as fan fiction unless subjectively notable, you get ridiculous quickly. Taking this line from the warning I saw "Please also remember that fanfiction (fan-created material) is not allowed under Halopedia policy; only official canon is allowed unless otherwise notable." It really appears not to apply in this kind of satirical material, where "canon" isn't even an issue, and fan fiction could not really be an applicable label. Unless the editors involved have trouble with social norms and understanding satire or sarcasm. That would explain an awful lot. A whole heck of a lot.
