Forum:Nuka Break and Fanon policy

I've recently seen a log of the deleted Fallout Nuka Break article. I understand that The Vault content policy does not imply any Fanon-articles, but I'd like to provide an example of Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki. They also do not accept fanon, but with some very rare exceptions:


 * Wookieepedia generally does not accept any forms of fanon whatsoever, because the purpose of Wookieepedia is to document officially canonical elements of the Star Wars universe. Occasionally articles of very widespread fanon in the community are created, but these are tagged as being non-canonical and are not presented as if they were part of the official canon.


 * Addition of fanon material to existing articles as well as the creation of new fanon-based articles is considered vandalism and may be grounds for permanent bans. Only on user pages is fanon allowed, provided that it is clearly marked as fanon and is limited to a very small amount. Many user pages contain individual fanon based on "Mary Sue-ish" fan fictions. - Source

I believe that fanon of such exceptional quality and great popularity as Nuka Break is worthy of mention on the Vault. After all, there are also articles on Lionheart. :) I would like to know your opinion on this matter. veryblackraven Talk 07:43, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lionheart isn't a fan game, it's a Black Isle game and only its SPECIAL implementation is included on the Wiki. Nuka Break on the other hand is a fan made project (whose script I consider to be stupid and childish, but that's my personal opinion), whose popularity you have no way of gauging. We have a separate wiki for Fallout Fanon, so allowing articles on fanon would be redundant. No need to include fanon 'ere. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 08:14, April 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't want The Vault to became another Fallout Fanon wiki, but every rule may have it's exceptions. :) The article of Nuka Break can be a short one with a link to Fanon wiki. Just like TROOPS. Just wondering how many visitors have searched The Vault for an article after Nuka Break release. :) veryblackraven Talk 08:36, April 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * The rules are there for a reason, now that does not mean that the page shouldn't exist. But if it is to be created and kept, it should be as a interwiki link to the fannon wiki page on the subject, such as Wasteland 2 and Fallout 3 modding FAQ does already to there respective pages on other wikis.

 * Well, perhaps this is the best way. veryblackraven Talk 06:18, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
