Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Hollyoaks task force/Scope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The objective of this WikiProject is mainly that of organisation and improvisation in relation to articles regarding Hollyoaks. What this means is, that there should be a clear standard set for both the editing and creation of articles regarding structure and layout. Quality, substance and content should be a priority. All articles on Hollyoaks should strive to meet a good encyclopaedic standard. Some articles are created from a fanatical point of view, containing only unsourced plot summary. Wikipedia no longer accepts such articles per WP:PLOT, and this has resulted in a greater number of Hollyoaks articles being nominated for deletion. It is important that all Hollyoaks articles, particularly character pages, are written, in part, from a real-world perspective. This means that factual information should be included in the article (such as casting, impact, reception and critical analysis), based on both primary and secondary sources. In-universe information, such as a plot summary retold as if it really happened, cannot maintain an article by itself per wikipedia policy. To avoid possible deletion, an article on a fictional topic needs to include real-world information, in addition to in-universe information.
