L5r:Fanstuff

Fanstuff, in short, is non-canon information. This can take many forms, such as fan creations, player character details, or at-tournament events that do not appear in official sources. Addition of this material into the L5R Wiki can break several points of the project's scope, most often The L5R Wiki is accurate and verifiable and The L5R Wiki is not your personal webpage.

Identification
Information may be considered fanstuff if it has any of the following problems:
 * The information has no references. At best, this is a copyright issue, and will need to be dealt with either way.  Note that if an item has proper and official sources, it cannot be fanstuff.
 * The information cannot be found in official sources. Note that references will prevent this from being an issue.
 * The subject does not have an official CCG card. Note that references will prevent this from being an issue.

Procedure
Before an article is marked as containing fanstuff, attempt to locate the information in official sources. At the very least, take these two steps:
 * 1) Search Google.  Most of Alderac's site and many fan sites are indexed there.  Be certain that any reference you find is from an official source.
 * 2) Search L5RSearch.com.  All CCG cards are indexed there.

If you find an official source for the information, reference it within the article. If you still cannot, add "" to the appropriate section of the article. Make any comments you feel necessary on the article's talk page. If you are only objecting to a section of an article, not the whole article, it is a very good idea to specify your objections.

If the objections stand for over a week, the information may be summarily deleted. In many cases, this means the deletion of the entire article.
