Points taken...

On note the conversation grew from a simple direct inquiry on recent deletions. If you have another way for me to ask questions of a specific person then let me know and I will use that method. (the long discussion was not an intention... just an inevitable result)

Not sure of the parental permission being the solution either? (though closer to a solution then absolute denial of material?) And Admin really don't need to be subjected to the role of being censores. They should fall into more of an arbitration rule of thumb than an enforcement agency. (I have many years of Admin responsibilities in the past and when dictated to enforcement roles then things can get nasty. With great powers comes great responsibility.ha)

@Zelron I don't see changing the word value to relevant effecting the situation too much? You mention the 3 items adding their relevance in respect to basically story plot, and character development. And then dismissing fan art as nothing other then a fan interpretation of subject matter in game. As if fan input wasn't as relevant as the developer process and/or trivial (trivia) commentary on where a character name might be origined from or how he appears to sit a lot in game, or even that he might have similaroties to an early Demon Souls character?

Everything in this Wikia is to present as much interest to the game and characters that we can. With stats on weapons for those people that really need to know why a character died when he used a specific weapon. And descripitons of areas so people can experience the world without having ventured into it yet themselves. And most importanlty to some of us is methods and strategies to allow us to get further into the game. (seing that this game can be a beast of an effort.) And lastily images/video/media to allow us to know the characters better and see areas that might not be as easily imaginable in our minds from mear words on paper. (or in this case words on screen.)

All of this adds up to interest in areas of the game that many people have different views on. (me I care less for Lore or Trivia... but enjoy the stats, strategy, and media items.) Fan Art simply is the players/fans perspective of how they see in game material. No different really then the trivia in it's relative need.

We can segregate the Fan Art to sections other then articles, but why? The reason we have categories and place things in neat little cubby holes is so that we can get all the material for that particular subject in a single place. So we don't have to hunt for an image or video related to a character or item within a users page or Blog.

Some people might find no relevance to Trivia and Lore to their experience in the game. And some might find no relevance to Fan Art to character interpretation or understanding. But to have both in an area easily found then that is really the discussion. Why is Fan Art not considered of value or relevance to be included for people to see in the category they are searching, but Lore and Trivia some how is? To each their own... but don't hand cuff others because you don't accept the relevance in your eyes.

Again... way too much text on my part.
