* I've only created series pages and redirects in cases which meet our current notability requirements: for instance, with the scope of {{tlx|NCmaterial}}, to my knowledge no story in the charity anthology ''The Twelve Doctors of Christmas'' meets our requirements, so there is no series page for that anthology. | * I've only created series pages and redirects in cases which meet our current notability requirements: for instance, with the scope of {{tlx|NCmaterial}}, to my knowledge no story in the charity anthology ''The Twelve Doctors of Christmas'' meets our requirements, so there is no series page for that anthology. | ||
All of these examples concern fan fiction, but the same precedent would easily extend to fan films and other forms of fan work via overview pages like [[Fan films]], [[Cruise fan films]], etc. Whatever fan works this thread chooses to cover, I have a stong conviction that the existing precedent I've described here is the way to do it. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 22:17, 28 May 2023 (UTC) | All of these examples concern fan fiction, but the same precedent would easily extend to fan films and other forms of fan work via overview pages like [[Fan films]], [[Cruise fan films]], etc. Whatever fan works this thread chooses to cover, I have a stong conviction that the existing precedent I've described here is the way to do it. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 22:17, 28 May 2023 (UTC) | ||
: I want to quickly mention that one historical case I strongly disagreement is the banning of fanzines. Fanzines, for the most part, aren't fan fiction, they're usually just reference books on a budget. If we're going to have pages on ''[[Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Vworp Vworp!]]'', we should be able to cover fan zines which feature important interviews and such. Again I'm speaking purely on a historical nature here. I know at least one fanzine literally made up some of the names for Hartnell stories which are still in-use today, alongside others which were used as recently as the early DWM issues. | |||
: As for N8's proposal, I'm not sure I agree with such a limiting level of coverage for relevant stories. I find the Fanfiction.net page very unconvincing as an example of this done well, for instance. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]][[User Talk:OttselSpy25|🤙☎️]] 23:11, 28 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
