Editing Specifications for Warranting a Page

These are the minimum crimes an individual/organization has to commit to warrant a page on this site. If you need extra guidance to help decide if a difficult case merits inclusion try clicking on the crime on the list below. We are currently writing extra guidance notes for these to help you. Please also see extra general guidance on [[/Standard of proof|the standard of proof we require]] and [[/Mental health|how to judge mental health]].

If an organization is to get a page it must be actually responsible. It isn't enough for it to have heinous members who commit crimes, even if it has a high number of them.

Above all, villains must have directly caused harm or attempted to to count. However, those who restrict civil rights from others may also count.

In events where it is uncertain if a act falls under these crimes, consult with an admin and they will decide if it is severe enough or not.

As a rule, all internet related pages are banned, except in the cases of cybercrime.

Also, while articles regarding religious figures are permitted, we will NOT be taking any articles in which the religion in question isn't recognized as one by the federal government.

Events should only get a page where it is impossible to clearly tell all the information with only articles on the person(s) responsible. They may not have been identified or there may be too many of them for all the articles to tell the story in its entirety.

The crime must be mentioned on media (this means news, books, etc.) except for the individual/organization who lived before the media (via historical accounts). This means that random people (especially internet ones) are not notable.
