Article notability determines whether a topic in the Destiny universe merits its own page. Such topics are required to be notable, or "worthy of notice." It is important to recognize that a notability determination does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or the popularity of a topic—although those things may contribute to the acceptability of a subject that meets the criteria laid out below. | |||

==Notability criteria== | |||
Bearing in mind that all articles must conform to the [[Destinypedia: Citation policy|Citation policy]] concerning verifiability and reliable sources, the mere description of the information by official sources is not sufficient to establish a topic's notability—an article may, however, be considered notable based on whether or not it meets one of the following criteria: | |||
*The information has all of the necessary quality that can be included in articles and that it has significant coverage to such an extent that it is more than a trivial mention.<ref group="note">A perfect example of this would be a list of food and drinks.</ref> | |||
*In addition, the information has reliable and reputable sources that are independent of the subject.<ref group="note">Here, reliable and reputable sources would typically refer to established parties that contribute to the development of the ''Destiny'' franchise and its community. Such an example would be [[destiny.bungie.org]]. The best example of a non-reputable/reliable source is YouTube, specifically YouTube commentators.</ref> | |||
*The information has all the necessary quality of being capable of having its own article. | |||
* | *There is a foreseeable certainty that the information will see sufficient and future growth. If otherwise, the information must be capable of presenting itself concisely in a section of an article rather than in its own article. If the information is essentially a copy of a Wikipedia entry, a simple interwiki link to that Wiki will suffice and the information should be kept in the form of a summary.<ref group="note">This is also to ensure that the wiki complies with Wikipedia's own [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Attribution attribution policy].</ref> | ||
