Notability
If a person has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, they are presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.

- Nordic Larp Wiki:Notability (people)

Not everyone is notable enough to be included in Nordic Larp Wiki. Like any encyclopedia, Nordic Larp Wiki includes biographies of historical figures and people involved in current events.

Biographies must have enough reliable, third-party information to demonstrate public interest in the individual. People who satisfy at least one of the items below may merit their own Nordic Larp Wiki articles as there is likely to be a good deal of information available about them This list is not complete, but shows examples of notability required for Nordic Larp Wiki:

  • A person who made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the historical record in their field.
  • Political people holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office.
  • Well known people and opinion makers (e.g. members of the Hollywood Walk of Fame)
  • Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports, such as the Olympic Games or World Championships
  • Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work
  • Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is widely recognized (for better or worse) and who are likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field
  • People who achieved renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events
  • A person who was the primary subject of multiple notable published works whose source is independent of the person (multiple similar stories describing a single news event only count as one instance of coverage)

Note: In the case of a person notable only for their role in one event, but not otherwise a public figure, an article on the event is preferred to having a biography for the person.

Do not add false claims about living people to Nordic Larp Wiki; you could be sued for libel.

Note: If you have a conflict of interest (that is, if you are involved with the person you are writing about, as a relative, friend, employee, contractor or similar), you should disclose your COI on the article draft or talk page; see WP:DISCLOSE. If you are being paid to contribute to Nordic Larp Wiki, you must—under the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use—disclose who is paying you, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation; see WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE. There is more information about this requirement at Nordic Larp Wiki:Paid-contribution disclosure.
