 == Notable Real World Figures ==
-Before we start creating articles for ''every'' 343 Industries employee we see, can we discuss the notability of real world figures? I know we did the same (as in creating articles) with the Bungie staffs, but I'm thinking about deleting most of them, and leaving the notable guys. I mean, [[Marcus Lehto]], [[Martin O'Donnell|Marty]], [[Jason Jones]], these are the guys who made prominent appearances in ViDocs, some were made into easter eggs in the series. But how about people like [[Steve Abeyta]] or [[Jason Major]]? Are they important and <u>notable</u>? Do we even remember how did [[Stanley Stephen Huntsman]] contribute to the Halo series? [[Samuel Jones]] has a stub label on it. How much can we expand on him? "''[[Graham Bartlett]] is a production engineering lead and worked on Halo 3.''" Is it necessary to include such information? "''Mark Bernal is more widely known for his work on Marathon 2: Durandal, where he managed to insert one of the most difficult Easter Eggs to discover his initials.''" Doesn't that belong in Pfhorpedia and not here? These people worked hard, I know, but they deserve to be in Bungiepedia, not here.

 tl:dr, can we delete articles about the ordinary Bungie staffs and leave the notable ones, so we can set a new policy for notable real world figures? —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14 <sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[User profile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub> 11:00, 4 September 2012 (EDT)

 ::Every case should be judged individually and there are always exceptions, but I imagine that a basic precedent would go something like this:
 ::# If the person hasn't appeared prominently outside credits (e.g. in conventions, ViDocs, etc) or isn't otherwise noteworthy for some specific thing, then it's usually safe to say they don't deserve an article.
-::# If the page only contains one or two paragraphs with the name of the person, their job, an ultimately irrelevant trivial fact or two, and possibly a list of games they may have worked on, and there is no real potential for expansion, then it's probably not noteworthy (this is true for many less-known Bungie employees, e.g. [[Ryan Hylland]], [[Deena Lawrence]])
