I think poor quality verses should not be put here. But like I say, our current rules should prohibit them from even existing in the first place.Fujiwara, you are still not allowed to respond here, and we are not going to open the floodgates to any extremely obscure, unpopular, and poor quality verses that have only every been read by their creators and a small number of acquaintances.
And soemtimes verses can be popular all around the place and popularity may rise and wane from time to time. So if we exclude unpopular verses we would have a hell loaf of trouble creating and destroying them alone.
If the verse is properly written and published, why should we even care about how many profiles to make? (I will agree that there are a lot of popular verses whose profiles are yet to be created because the profile pages are poorly supported and constructed in the first place)Yes, if we do not take popularity into account, our wiki would get swarmed and bloated by extremely obscure verses that nobody cares about or is willing or able to verify the information for. My apologies, but we are not going to lessen our restrictions in this regard.
More and more new verses will come out as long as humankind still exists. And yes I mean verses that are properly written, published and copyrighted.
If a verse profile is badly written according to our current rules, it would be deleted anyway. So I believe Ant may over worry in this regard.
(Or you do not mind losing business to rival character indexing sites in this regard?)
Wait we have Joke Battles and FCOC. Do character and verse profiles not properly written, published and copyrighted now move there?
Or we now establish a "Obscure VS Battles Wiki" as a branch of VS Battles Wiki so that all verses that currently gets properly written, published and copyrighted but are "not popular enough" to stay here go there? I do not mind being a bureaucrat there should this be totally needed. I hate to say this as this may sound like a coup and I myself as a staff of VBW want to and should take my part in maintaining order of this site.
TLDR:
1. Is it the intention of all bureaucrats that verses not popular enough should be removed from VBW?
2. If anyone believes that verses not popular enough should be removed from VBW, are other new and existing sites allowed to or prohibited from creating profiles for such? (I mean, there are OBD, VS Compendium, Character Profile Wiki,
Character Stats and Profiles Wiki and more - existing character power and ability indexing sites)
3. Should a site to accommodate those "not popular enough" profiles be built, are they under a branch of VBW just like JBW and FCOCW?
4. If verses properly, written published and copyrighted are allowed to stay (provided that their profiles be properly drafted of course), then Dread's revision should reflect such with proper wording to prevent sending misinformation. I believe Ant just wants to make sure not any verse worse than Suggsverse should stay.
