Howdy! I talked to Tllmbrg about this and he referred me to you
In the Editing Rules, it says that characters and verses that originate from Wattpad (or other fanwork sources) are prohibited. Despite this, we have profiles for characters that originate from DeviantArt, the Creepypasta wiki, and YouTube. The characters themselves are not from fanwork though, they're original. I've been told this is fine (by a Content Mod) as long as the characters are notable and fit all the other page criteria.
The thing is, Wattpad also allows original fiction, and has quite a bit of it, with some even being adapted into television shows and movies.
So, basically, I think that part of the editing rules could be reworded to specify that fancontent isn't allowed, but popular original content from Wattpad/DeviantArt/whatever is (assuming this is correct, of course)
