This policy details Halopedia's stand on notability, which is loosely based off Wikipedia's notability policy. The focus of this policy is to provide a clear guideline for any form of content.

== Overview ==

Line 19:

If the content is not notable, it can be included in Halopedia by adding it into relevant articles if it has the appropriate level of detail and significance for that article such as [[Pre-Xbox Halo]], or if it can be described in a relevant list such as [[List of food and drinks]]. If the information is essentially a copy of a wiki entry (such as Wikipedia), a simple link to that wiki will suffice and that information should be kept in a form of a summary.<ref group="note">This is also to ensure that Halopedia complies with wiki's own attribution policy.</ref>

=== Quotes ===

The requirements listed below are applicable only to quotes that are by (or about) individuals. A quote is considered to be notable if it can be shown to have acquired the necessary quality of information. It must be shown that:

*the quote itself is independently well known;

*the subject of the quote is a notable subject that is novel and original; or

*the quote itself is ''quotable'' (otherwise known as ''quotability'').

An important note: a quote entry is recommended to meet at least two of the three requirements, with a particular emphasis on the last requirement (''"quotability"''). For more discussion on quotability, see {{Plain|[https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Quotability '''Wikiquotes'''<nowiki />'s project page on ''Quotability'']}}.

It should be noted that this section also covers dialogues: where a collection of quotes can be combined into a dialogue, editors are recommended to do so and place them under the Dialogue section (or create such section if it is not present).
