Can I add this verse on the wiki?

Recently a friend recommended the Blue and White Series, which is a series of web novels. I personally want to add it to the wiki but I was doubting whether or not it would be allowed due to how many things from other media pop up in it. The series itself is plenty popular enough with its ebooks millions of listens, its own devoted forum with thousands of people, hundreds of reviews, and its own comic of the third novel in the series and it is not listed under the fanfiction section in Qidian or anything like that.

The issue is that the first book focuses on an MC that randomly transforms into different media characters, like one time he turned into a character from LoL, another a character from Pokemon, and even Sun Wukong. The world itself is not based on any media I'm aware of and the story is originally by the Author though it does have clear inspiration from things like SCP and StarCraft.

Anyway just wanted to know if the series would be allowed since I've already been putting in time making the profiles.
 
Do you have any sandbox for that? Also, I think it meet our requirements. I am unsure, let's ask Agnaa

Can you add some link or picture for proof of popularity ?
 
Personally, I'm neutral in this, but I'll address two things regarding this verse.

Appearance of copyrighted characters is likely a disqualification point. It should be noted that copyright law in the origin region of this webnovel is less harsh than those in the United States, but it is still a thing. A further analysis is needed.

Also, the characters (Sun Wukong, a Pokemon character, a LoL character) should never be scaled to their original appearance counterpart.

Finally, everything which touch the Tier 1 realm should be discussed and approved by admin especially when dealing with non-English works, I suppose.

Not sure if this would help but all of the novels are serialized under Qidian and listed and one is listed to be under CC BY-SA 3.0.
 
scoob and shag has been rejected before so this is probably gonna get disqualified as well. If the transformation was, let's say, based on an SCP that is acknowledged in the lore of the verse then maybe it would be ok but considering it is literally transformations into copyrighted characters then no

this should be brought up to staff then. Also, being copyrighted itself means nothing. I can write a mario x stranger things fanfic on wattpad and i could copyright it as it is an option.
 
the reqs still meet huh? Did you not see the proof of popurality?
I have no idea if it meets the standard to be indexed or not, I only know it's strong lol, probably like the second strongest chinese novel according to another debating community that I know

Complicating won't help either, my brother. Also, elaborate on what the issue is. You talked about copyright issue and now you are saying copyrighted means nothing 😭

If you are talking about popularity, I think alone the fact it has 5m listeners is insane. (not passive readers, literally listeners)

If the novel itself is made by a battleboarder idk. I doubt any Chinese would know this wiki exists, lol.

copyright means nothing if the work is copyrighted since copyrighting is possible even for fanfics on wattpad. What matters is if its using copyrighted characters since that is copyright infringement. If it was SCP which has a copyright which lets you use SCPs freely as long as you credit it then it might have been ok but if it uses pokemon and such it's probably not good.

Would not the novel actually be flagged if it is true?
 
idk man, sometimes copyrighters doesn't have time to read an extremely random chinese novel
You got a point, but we are talking about a popular novel series. And they are lowkey doing money.
Yk copyright is not only about protection...

this has 49 mil views and thousands of likes per chapter. It makes money with patreon and i think merch. Wasn't allowed to be added here even if the cartoon characters were renamed.

I know this is "Whataboutism" but what about all the other verses on the wiki that do the exact same thing?

This is a prime example as it features Mario, Pokemon, League of Legends, and specifically Minecraft to such a heavy degree it's an intricate part of the story. And the abilities of sed characters are present in the profiles.
