Doom Wiki:Criteria for people articles

The Doom community contains a large number of people. However, not all of these people are worth having a writeup on.

Some guidelines for people writeups:


 * The person being written up should have done something notable. For example, contributed to successfully released projects (including WADs, source ports, editing utilities, and the like), won a well-known tournament, recorded a number of speedruns for Compet-n, etc.  If they have not done anything of note in the Doom community, they should not be written up. Playing in a clan or having a forum account on Doomworld does not count.


 * The writeup should be about their contributions to the Doom community. Information about other interests (eg. "Uberdoomer likes to play the guitar and play Counterstrike") is not appropriate.


 * The name of the article should take the form Real name (nickname): for example, John Carmero (ÜberDooMer).


 * List the person's achievements (e.g. projects they have been involved in) in a bullet-point list, giving the year.
 * Unfinished and unreleased mods should not be listed.


 * Include a link to their website and/or released projects in an "External links" section at the end of the writeup.


 * Photos can be included, but be sure to get permission from whoever owns the copyright on the photo. Photos are more appropriate on long write-ups, however.


 * The article should be in Category:People.


 * The article should be added to List of Doom community people.
