Real world stubs are the most varied kind of stub, because they can be applied to an article about ''anything'' in the [[category:Real World|real world super-category]], aside from stories. Production personnel, games, companies, merchandise and many other things can be slapped with the real world stub tag, | |||
====People==== | |||
Sadly, most articles about production personnel are currently stubs on this wiki. The vast majority merely give the stories on which a person worked, or might additionally tell the roles an actor played. This is the very minimum a real world personnel article requires to avoid deletion, but is the very ''definition'' of a real world stub. | |||
To avoid being a stub, a personnel article should give the birth (and, if applicable, death) dates of the individual. They should give at least a broadly complete accounting of that person's work in the [[Whoniverse]]. They should also have some kind of coverage of the person's career outside their ''Doctor Who''-related work. There should also be at least some coverage of their non-Whoniverse collaborations with other veterans of the Whoniverse. For example, an article about [[Matt Smith]] should mention the fact that he co-starred with [[Billie Piper]] on ''The Ruby in the Smoke'' and ''Diaries of a Call Girl''. It might also include information about an individual's personal life, if those details are relevant to the ''Doctor Who'' universe. For instance, an article about [[Peter Davison]] should mention that [[Georgia Moffett]] is his daughter, or one about [[Steven Moffat]] should point out that [[Sue Vertue]] is his wife. (Care, however, should be taken not to include merely ''rumored'' or informal relationships without citation. For instance, it would be relevant to [[Katy Manning]]'s page that she was romantically attracted to [[David Troughton]], but only because she can be cited as giving this information on the DVD releases of ''[[The Three Doctors]]'' and ''[[The Curse of Peladon]]''.) Finally, as a matter of formatting, all personnel pages should have a link to that person's IMdB page. | |||
As always, a stub is wholly or ''almost'' entirely missing some of these details. It's not something that is just missing a few of these details. | |||
