Wikipedia:WikiProject EastEnders/Inclusion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The main criteria for inclusion should be notability. That being said, to avoid clutter and confusion, we should note the following.

Characters[edit]

Most characters that appear in EastEnders do not pass the notability guidelines on fiction. Each named character that appears should be included in one of the lists of characters by year, such as list of EastEnders characters (2010) (see Category:Lists of EastEnders characters for more). Even characters with a separate article should be included in these lists. Independent articles can be created if a character is able to pass the notability guidelines, but this should be discussed first (generally an article will be worked on as a draft first).

Images[edit]

Illustrations for EastEnders-related articles are typically taken from screen captures and promotional images. As such they are nearly all non-free and must only be used in conformance with the Non-free content criteria. Exceptions include pictures of people involved in the production of EastEnders that have been released under free licenses, allowing third parties to modify images and use images commercially. For a gallery of free images relating to EastEnders, see here. Most non-free images currently in EastEnders-related articles lack detailed or sufficient fair use rationales justifying their use in the articles. Such images are in danger of deletion; you can remedy this by writing better rationales.
