I think a more apt question is what about verses that involve fanfic, but all fanfiction is relugated to background characters.
Mangas actually do this quite a bit, especially comedic ones.
the names and the premise

Popularity is not needed for a verse to be added. Any verse can be added as long as it follows the standars. I really don't know why some people have this perspective that a verse needs to be popular to have a page.
Popularity is one of the standards though. I remember Ant saying something like he would prefer if web novels have millions of reads.
 
Popularity is a bad way since anything can be obscure depending what one reads/watch or from where they are. People could barely know a verse but in Japan (if we talk about anime) it could have millions of readers/watchers.

But how do you count such things with other things? How popular would a book need to be? An anime? A manga? A TV show? What's the standard here? What's popular enough?
 
That's why I don't agree with that sentiment, but quite a few higher ups do, so it really can't be helped tbh.

8BIT is in american so no
 
Case in point, I Love My Yandere Neko Girlfriend has 5 million views and like 17 thousand follows, but it definitely doesn't deserve to be on VSBW lel.
okay why is not allowed

Because it's garbage and as the only unfortunate soul who has read this piece of shit I refuse to make profiles for them.
 
Out of curiosity 2 questions:

1 what happens if someone on the wiki creates a profile of a character that was created by an acquaintance?

2 the same only that the character was created by himself and uploaded the story after a while?

Good question honestly
 
So what verse are you talking about then?

Those characters would probably be on a better place in the FC/OC page, tbh

And what if someone who creates it before meeting in person the creator of the series and being friends with it until the point in which they influence?.
 
Still FC/OC

Our standards (Which are never ending changing, see for example Composite Pages *cough*Shaggy being changed to cartoon when Link still has a composite page*cough*) contain a lot of things.

If it's not popular, then it probably won't be able to be here.

If it's a fangame, won't be here (see The Player he was a page here in VS, but then he was moved to FC/OC there because he's from a fangame)

Characters from Fanfics, AUs, or simply original characters from relatively unknown stories will be thrown there, as you can see by D&D Homebrew page it's technically not a fanfic, nor an AU, but it's still not enough to be considered part of this verse.

You need to be from a recognizable/popular show, have actual feats (I mean, you don't see every damned slice of life anime character running around here, do you?), and have at least some following and have a somewhat long time running story.

Yes, that may not be true all the time, there may be some exceptions, but those are pretty rare, or they simply weren't deleted, yet.

some people say that the popularity don´t matter but you say yes i am confused

First, don't quote giant text walls.

Second, Popularity matters... somewhat, is not the MAIN BIG deal, but it's still a deal, just look over the pages.

Most characters will be recognizable, either by me, by you, or to someone who simply see the picture.

Hell, lately, when I continuously click into the 'random page' section, the only characters I don't recognize are from Cultivation Manga (This means it's a Chinese manga, which I'm pretty sure they have their own name but I can't remember)

It's a issue, but not the main issue, the standards are really confusing at times because we don't necessarily have those on a link, which honestly, there should be something of a 'standard character'.

The same reason why we don't allow crossover characters.

It can easily bloat up a lot.

Now imagine if suddenly, everyone could simply come here and put their OC with who knows how many ******* powers with who knows how many tiers, because in their completely obscure web story/web novel, the character did so (Of course, that's a pretty common thing with Cultivation Manga characters, but whatever).

Our standards are weird, but we don't allow fanfic, or Fanfic AU's.

Now, I always thought RED vs Ruby was simply some web story made on SFM using the models of Halo because it already existed, ngl, kinda like RWBY, but hey, it is what it is.

And this is confusing.
 
that is a double standar a big and is not really a argument because a diferenc from your generic OC 8BIT has a diferent story character ability cosmology places

idk shit about 8bit theater to begin with.

And what's to say that the OC from the fanfic doesn't have a different cosmology and abilities???

Bruh, Naruto has some wild ass fanfics with entire cosmologies and abilities, not to mention that they every now and then totally make a new story using the old ones, does that means they can be here?

Nah
 
...Captain Hero is a really, really dumbass mofo 'The Boys' version of Superman.

He's a parody, not a fanfiction, that's not using someone's else copyright.
