See Team Fortress Wiki:Community topics notability guidelines.

Under the Community topics notability assessment project, all preexisting custom content are systematically assessed for notability in accordance with the Team Fortress Wiki:Community topics notability guidelines (Policy).

Project objectives

Project Objectives
Assess the notability of and decide whether to retain or remove all current community topic pages. Pictogram wait.png Ongoing
Complete the tagging and documentation of retained community topic pages. Pictogram wait.png Ongoing
Remove non-notable community topics from the Main Space and adjust Main Space categories as needed, possibly requiring modifications to common templates. Pictogram wait.png Ongoing

Notice board

Notice board
As quickly as practical, tag the Community topics pages we broadly agree to keep as "keep" (notable) and delete the ones we broadly agree to delete. With this done:

1) Editors can fix style and quality issues in the retained pages without concerns about "wasted effort". The question of notability should no longer delay application of style and qualify.
2) The presence of highly non-notable pages will no longer serve as an excuse to add more.
3) The project can then focus on cases where opinions regarding notability require some resolution.

Assessments

Non-Notability (Delete) tag instructions

This presently describes a process different from the broad assessments process and requires resolution.

Process for applying notability Delete tags to Community topics:

  • Remember, deleting any Community topic page for any reason is a process; tag the page, discuss the tag, close the discussion. The result is not required to be deletion. Consensus should determine results, keep, delete, move, improve, etc.
  • If you feel the topic does not meet the Notability requirements for inclusion in this wiki, then locate or create the Notability section in the topic's Talk page and state the case, and Delete-tag the page for potential non-notability.
  • Deletion for non-notability should have that reason stated; e.g., "This Community topic page is nominated for deletion for lack of notability. Please, discuss under the Notability topic for the page."

Past discussions

The primary issue revolves around the policy for inclusion/exclusion of Custom maps:

Resources

A catalog of resources for measuring popularity of Community maps
An inventory of all maps in the Custom category at that time. There was a surprising amount of low-notability maps in place since around 2011.
Measurably precise to the Valve community server list; but, it has been suggested that there is a large amount of community servers (hosting community content) that cannot be measured by the Valve community server list. This is to say, rather than overstating the influence of Community content on Community servers, teamwork.tf actually may understate activity on Community servers.
