Is there any kind of policy for what sort of fanworks (i.e. unlicensed adaptations of some form) get pages? It seems like there are pages for works that are not very notable like obscure computer games from the 80s or parodies that have been otherwise forgotten. What determines what gets a page or not?Turiannerevarine 01:26, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

I don't think there is a notability policy as in wikipedia. Anything that has been published, especially commercially, can go. Actually I think it is desirable to record obscure and forgotten works. Sage 05:09, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
