People Pages: the people page section to end all people page sections

Please note- this discussion is closed, and will be written up and archived within 24 hours of 10:29, 17 January 2016 (UTC). The rest of the discussion can be found at Brickipedia:Featured_Forum/old.

  • We've had a few forums on this already, but nothing's getting decided. So I'll set up a forum with straight votes, and go through them step by step.

Section 1: Who to have articles on

The first thing is- what articles on real-life people should we have on the wiki? Feel free to add other sections for other types of people if you can think of any NovaHawk 06:18, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Certified Master Builders

  1. I don't think they're involved enough in the LEGO group Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3Friends girls.jpg
    Readers would be interested in this sort of thing, though, wouldn't they? Also, I don't see how they'd be less involved than voice actors. BrickfilmNut (talk) 17:05, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
    Their whole lives revolve around working for LEGO, how much more involved can you get? :P NovaHawk 23:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Comments
  • If people want to make pages, I guess they could go ahead, but I think a list might be more suitable. Berrybrick (talk) 19:54, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Is this talking about Master Builders, or LEGO Certified Professionals? They're two very different things. "Certified Master Builder" isn't a title I'm familiar with. --ToaMeiko (talk) 22:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Closing as passed if there are no more votes in 1 day. Otherwise this will never get resolved. NovaHawk 23:27, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

  3. It's an official LEGO program, so having at least a single article that lists members of the program could be useful. LCF (talk!) 22:18, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Oppose
  1. We don't need a page on Meiko. CJC95 (talk) 22:48, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
  2. I highly oppose this change as it's more work than necessary for no benefit. A LEGO ambassador is not a part of the LEGO Group and thus is not significant to Brickipedia's project scope. The list of LEGO Ambassadors changes yearly and in some cases more frequently than that, therefore it's highly unlikely we'll ever have an up to date, also given the fact that no up to date list is available to anyone except for LEGO's CEE team and the list of members on http://lan.lego.com which the list will change come 2016. Brickwiki at one point attempted to compile lists and as you can see that's nowhere near up to date and was often incomplete. What this would mean would be that I would have to go and manually copy and paste each ambassador's name (some of which use their real name, some have names on LAN such as "iainy73", so there would hardly be any consistency or sense in such list), put them all in a wiki formatted list or table, and update that every time an ambassador changes, which on its own is a ridiculously unreasonable task to complete since some ambassadors never even post in LAN and don't introduce themselves. Honestly there is no point in including such a list. I've tried to get a page on the Ambassador Program/Ambassador Network created for a while since that actually does pertain to our project scope as it's a part of the LEGO Group, but a list of members, many of whom have no significance to the LEGO Group at all, is just unnecessary. --ToaMeiko (talk) 03:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

  5. The only page we need on a meiko is the singer meiko, okay maybe not. But Meiko is the one who should know about this stuff so I'm siding with him. Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3Friends girls.jpg
  6. Too hard to keep up with Codyn329 (talk) 18:20, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Comments
  • Maybe as a list would be useful. I don't know about doing individual pages though. Berrybrick (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
    • Added a new "have a list" section to each vote NovaHawk 23:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
  • General note- closed all those with unanimous support. NovaHawk 00:00, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Closing in 1 day as make a list (I think 75% is safe) NovaHawk 04:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Please note- this section was originally archived, then Meiko came along and explained how it worked. If noone wants to change their votes, that's fine, just thought it should be brought up again due to the new info. NovaHawk 11:42, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Have only those contracted to write original stories

(see ToaMeiko's comment below for what this section means)

Have pages for those who write original, throw all others on a list
  1. CJC95 (talk) 15:16, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
  2. The more potentially useful/wanted information, the better. LCF (talk!) 22:59, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
  3. Maybe with a bullet-point list of their contributions underneath? Or not, don't mind either way really NovaHawk 03:49, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
    So basically a combination of option 1 and 3? I could go along with that I suppose. Certainly voting for option 1 though, that's a must. --ToaMeiko (talk) 04:06, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
    I assumed the list would include their contributions somehow, or else what would be the point of it? CJC95 (talk) 12:55, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
  4. As per Novahawk and CJC, include why they're relevant in the list part. Stormbringer Empire791
Have a list (but not individual pages)

Comments
  • Forgot about this one NovaHawk 23:54, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Some of them are just random authors that work for Scholastic to write a book that's the exact same story as the LEGO theme's TV series or something (especially Ninjago, Hero Factory, Chima, and other themes' books). I don't think we need pages for people like that. But for people writers like Greg Farshtey and illustrators like Stuart Sayger, yes. So basically only if the individual was contracted by the LEGO Group, not by Scholastic or DK or whatever. --ToaMeiko (talk) 22:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
    • Added a section. NovaHawk 05:53, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

  5. I guess? Songwriting credits can get long though - (at least) 6 people are credited for writing "Everything Is Awesome" for example. Unsigned comment by CJC95 (talk • contribs).

  1. I think that it would be optimal to have a list, as while they make great contributions toward productions, there's not really enough to say about them. Maybe an in-between choice like for the illustrators would be good.LCF (talk!) 22:59, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

LEGO Community Team

The following section is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. The result was allow

While they aren't a part of LEGO's management and don't contribute directly to the products, LEGO's community team (also known as CEE) is arguably the most important department of the LEGO for its fans. CEE is responsible for the LEGO Ambassador Network, fan event support, convention support, LUG support, and interacting with in-person and online LEGO User Groups (such as Brickipedia). Should we have articles for regional community team leaders?

  • Keith Seversen - Community Team Manager (retiring as of 30 April 2015)
  • Kevin Hinkle - North and South America
  • Kim Thomsen - Western Europe and Online
  • Jan Beyer - Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania (to become LEGO House Community leader in 2016)

Then there are some other parts of the community team that aren't part of CEE, such as Peter Espersen, who heads ReBrick and any other co-creation projects run by TLG, Tim Courtney, who is head of LEGO Ideas, etc.

  1. Neutral don't really see a need for them, would prefer a list, but not fully against having articles BrikkyyTalk 21:20, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
    A list could be fine, but there's more than enough content for them to have full articles. For example, you can see the article I just wrote on Kevin Hinkle (which I only used a few sources for, so there's still information to be added). --ToaMeiko (talk) 22:36, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

  • How should the works be ordered? By type, name or year of first release? NovaHawk 00:20, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
    • Year of release could be good. It'd make it easier to follow a person's work over time, especially for senior set designers who have worked at the LEGO Group for many years. --ToaMeiko (talk) 22:23, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
