=== 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). | |||

Articles on fan content, such as websites, games or webcomics, are allowed on Halopedia as long as they are '''sufficiently notable'''. In order to show notability, an article on a fan content must pass at least one of the "recognition" requirements as well as the "content" requirement: | ||
