| This is not official policy This work has not yet been officially adopted as policy, and is still in a drafting stage. |
On Revolupedia, notability is required for all topics detailed on the encyclopedia, with certain exceptions (see below). In general, any given topic should have at least moderate coverage by multiple third-party sources. These sources may be apolitical but are encouraged to be socialist in perspective. Coverage should amount to at least several paragraphs dedicated to the subject in question.
Without proper notability, a page on Revolupedia may be subject to deletion. Articles on a subject without notability which are made with self-promotional intent may result in sanctions on the offending editor.
Exceptions
Several exceptions are made for special topics. In these cases, editors may freely document them to the fullest.
- Topics relating to Revolupedia and related projects.
- Topics relevant to the history of Revolupedia (e.g. Leftypedia, a project which many future Revolupedia editors would be apart of).
- Ideologically-aligned (see our principles) content creators with a reasonable following (e.g. several hundred subscribers on YouTube).
- Other, context-relevant topics which are useful for readers to be aware of (e.g. pseudo-communists, cultic groups, etc.).
Purpose
The purpose of maintaining rules relating to notability is to ensure Revolupedia focuses on topics relevant to the global working class and communist revolutionaries. Without reasonable standards, our project would quickly degenerate into detailing irrelevant topics which would ultimately destroy the quality of our content.
