Forum talk:Notability

This will serve as my post for the forum. If I posted over there, it would delete half the comments, so I'll just stick it here. If anyone would be kind enough to copy/paste my comments below to the Forum, it would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty much everything that has been said by the IP and Liquid Fear sums up my beliefs for notability. Brief mentions of small topics like Fruit don't need an article of their own, but they could have a section of their own on a larger page. That scenery idea is great, and it would certainly help with articles like that one ULF about the clam (I forget the number, but it's the last one so far) and more minor flora/fauna details. In addition, I would like to say that some real-world articles are just not necessary. Bee, Bigfoot, and Santa Claus are examples of unnecessary articles. Why? Because they are used as comparisons. Bee was used several times to describe how a species lived (Pirates live like bees, Nightbarbs attack and die like bees, etc.). Bigfoot and Santa were used by a trooper when he(?) was saying he didn't believe Samus was real, as the others can't be proven that they exist (little kids might argue about that with Santa  ) and so neither could Samus (he even said it was hard for him to believe Samus destroyed a Pirate base). However, some real-world articles, like Water and Lava, deserve an article because they actually appear physically in several games, serve as major obsticles, provide new environments that exhibit new creatures, and often affect game progression. Of course, exceptions can always be made if necessary. That's what I believe should be defined as "notable or not." тħε ξχτėямíиαłσřTalk/Contribs 17:31, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
