The following is a proposed Misplaced Pages policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption.
Misplaced Pages:Notability (fiction) is a proposedsubject specific notability guideline that defines the inclusion criteria for elements of fiction. It does not cover works of fiction as a whole, but elements of those works. For works of fiction, consult either the notability guidelines for books or films, or the general notability guideline, whichever is most applicable. The inclusion criteria for lists are described in Misplaced Pages's list guideline.
is part of a work of fiction, which is of particular cultural or historical significance,
is an episode or recurring character or (if its significance is verified in commentary from reliable sources) an other essential element, central to understanding the work it is part of, and
it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.
"Elements of fiction" are individual components of serialized works, such as television episodes or comic book series, and elements within fictional worlds, such as characters or settings.
"Particular cultural or historical significance" means that the work itself is required to have external sourcing beyond the basic threshold of the general notability guideline, which present clear claims for the artistic or cultural importance of the work.
"Significant, real-world information" is information about creative influences, design processes, and critical, commercial, cultural impact, and the like.
"Non-promotional sources" are sources which provide analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, and/or evaluative claims about the subject, which go beyond what is revealed in the plot of the fictional work.
"Presumed" means that if these conditions are met, they establishe a presumption, not a guarantee, of notability.
