All The Tropes:Creator Page Guidelines: Difference between revisions

Note that not all pages about people will fall into this category. Some, such as [[The Presidents of the United States of America (politics)|The Presidents of the United States of America]], are [[Useful Notes]] and/or [[Historical Domain Character]]s.<ref>Unless, like [[Ronald Reagan]], they were both creators and politicians... and sometimes not even then.</ref> '''Unlike [[TV Tropes]], though, we count performers of ''all'' stripes – including [[Musicians|musicians, bands,]] and [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestlers]] – as Creators.''' Please note that even though we include professional wrestlers (because of [[Kayfabe]]), professional athletes of other kinds are ''not'' counted as creators. Professional athletes who are ''only'' athletes, who have not also made efforts in a creative field such as acting or writing, are outside the wiki's scope. We are not All The Sports. Being able to hit a baseball, bowl a wicked googly, or makescore a goal does not make a person a "creator".

And it should go without saying, but do ''not'' create pages for fictitious or bogus creators. Doing so will get you [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|permanently banned]]. (Describe fictional creators on the "Characters" subpages of the works that they're from, please - an example here is [[Princess Tutu (anime)/Characters#Herr D. D. Drosselmeyer|Drosselmeyer]] from ''[[Princess Tutu (anime)|Princess Tutu]]''.)
