QBWiki talk:Notability guidelines

This is a placeholder page for a discussion of potential notability guidelines that will govern all articles in the QBWiki. Suggestions welcome.

Some potential guiding ideas (feedback welcome):

- All schools, active and inactive, that competed in at least one non-league quizbowl tournament (i.e. not a league, but rather a tournament) may have a wiki entry detailing their results. Each school page should ideally have whether or not the school is still active and ideally up-to-date contact information.

- Individual person pages must have either won a major national quizbowl award (Carper Award, Cooper Award, etc.), finished in the top 5 individually at a national championship tournament, and/or have otherwise contributed significantly to the game of quizbowl (I know the last part is a bit murkier, so suggestions welcome). Individual pages should focus on quizbowl-related activities as much as possible and provide some sense of what else the player might have done that simple statistics cannot capture (notable games or buzzes, team-building work, circuit-building work, etc.)

- Categories should be fairly small and help readers navigate; the current "Active Player in X Year" categories are too broad to be workable, IMHO.

Other ideas welcome. -[Chris Chiego]
