Liquipedia:Notability Guidelines
From Liquipedia Free Fire Wiki
Please note that inclusion of pages in mainspace is ultimately up to the discretion of the Liquipedia administrators.
Sadly, not everything can or should be added to the wiki. We want all our pages to be as up-to-date as possible and to meet our quality standards. That is made harder the more pages are created, not to mention additional factors, such as the fact that lower ranked teams tend to not have social media where they announce transfers, and so on. Additionally, we strive to have all pages meet a certain level of notability to current fans of the game or those wanting to research its history. Now, these are not non-negotiable. This wiki contains coverage of certain teams, players and scenes that do not actually meet our guidelines, yet we allow them because there is an active volunteer(s) that keeps those pages of high-quality. This however does not mean that we will allow you to create a page for your team just because you say you will keep it up to date. On the other hand, if you were to be highly interested in, say, keeping the Spanish national scene up to date, then go ahead!
In the cases where this is not the case however, all of this means we have to prioritise: we try to keep our coverage to just the top and the sub-top tier of competitive Free Fire as defined by the guidelines below. As such, some pages will be rejected due to a lack of quality or relevance. Any pages that do not meet these guidelines will NOT be deleted, but will be moved to your userspace.
If you have any inquiries regarding these guidelines, please join our 
Discord and leave a message in the #freefire channel.
Guidelines
[edit]- These guidelines were last updated on September 11th, 2022
Team/Player/Coach Point System
[edit]
Notability Points for teams/players/coaches are awarded as follows:
"Others" refer to Show Match/Monthly/Qualifier tournaments.
- *This notability guidelines only applies after September 12th, 2022. Teams/Players/Coaches who already have their page created before the updated notability table above will not be affected.
Page Eligibility
| Category | Notability Points Threshold | Minimum Earnings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Notable | Open For Discussion | ||
| Team | 10 | 8-9 | $5,000 USD |
| Player | 10 | 8-9 | $1,500 USD |
| Coach | 15 | 13-14 | - |
- Page creation eligibility are based on the following notability rules:
- Team:
- achieved 10 notability points and minimum earnings of $5,000 USD, or;
- a well-established organization; have pages on at least three (3) other Liquipedia wiki titles.
- Player:
- achieved 10 notability points and minimum earnings of $1,500 USD (generally counted as one-fourth of teams' earnings)
- Coach:
- achieved 15 notability points
- Team:
- Teams/Players who have reached between 13 - 14 points or Coaches with 18 - 19 points of notability are open for discussion on behalf of the regional editors for page creation, and shall take into account their minimum prize money earnings.
- Players/Coaches who have played and have a page in any other game wiki titles will still need to meet the above requirements when considering for page creation.
Additional Information
- Page creation for team rosters without an organization may be delayed despite their notability. The reason for this is that we do not want to have many pages for teams who have joined an organization shortly after the creation of the page, making it therefore less usable, since the team name is permanently retired in most instances. For example, a page for a team qualified for very notable A-Tier Tournaments or S-Tier Tournaments will typically be delayed until 2-3 days before the start of the event.
- Other organizational members such as Managers, Founders, etc, are not applicable for a person page, but are always up to administrators' discretion and will only be considered if the person has been playing or coaching at a professional level previously.

Broadcast Talents
[edit]| Event Points | ||

- Broadcast Talents will require 25 points of notabiltiy to be eligible for a page. The table above show how the point requirements are calculated to meet notability.
- The Free Fire wiki recognizes the following to be listed as broadcast talents:
- Host (including stage host, desk host, interviewer)
- Broadcast Analyst / Expert
- Commentator / Caster (including guests)
- If the broadcast talent in question also has results as a player or coach, they will also be taken into consideration when notability is being determined.
- Like players/coaches, any pages existing prior to these new guidelines or any subsequent changes to them will not need to retroactively meet the new standards and will be left untouched.
Events
[edit]Tournament and League pages can always be created if the event meets certain criteria and is also up to the editors/administrators' discretion. The following things should ALL be met for a tournament to receive a page on the wiki:
- A prize pool of at least $1,000 USD across the tournament.
- Note: This accounts solely for prize money paid out directly in cash, for example via bank transfer or PayPal. Other payment methods such as cryptocurrencies, coupons, in-game currencies or hardware prizes do not add up to the prize pool threshold. Exceptions can only be made upon administrators' discretion and only if the event features high notable teams.
- Tournaments with prize pools below the above minimum prize are considered as out of coverage scope. The tournament may be added but will NOT be actively covered or monitored by editors. These tournaments are automatically classified as D-Tier Tournaments.
- Tournaments without prizepool that act as a qualifier for a large tournament may also be added.
To create a new tournament page, you can follow our Tournament tutorial.
Required Information
For a tournament to be covered properly, the following details should ALL be present:
- Tournament announcement on social media or news platforms at minimum 10 days ahead of the tournament start
- Basic tournamant information which includes ALL of:
- Full tournament name
- Tournament Logo, as a high resolution transparent .png file or a vector file
Note: Either one version suitable for both light and dark backgrounds, or a separate version for each - Commentators of the event (at least the main broadcast language)
- Start and End Date of the tournament
- Social Media accounts
- Tournament format
- Announcement of event sponsors stating their involvement in the tournament
- A detailed rulebook containing ALL of the following:
- Full detailed tournament format, including details such as map pool, etc.
- Prize Money distribution
- All other details describing how the event will be conducted
- A detailed schedule document containing ALL of the following:
- If applicable, group seeding
- Matchups with the date, time, and time zone when they will take place
- A roster document containing ALL of the following:
- Team Name
- Team Logo
- Detailed information on players, coaches and substitutes used throughout the event
- Required information for each person are:
- In-game name (IGN)
- Nationality
- Required information for each person are:
Should a large majority of these not be present 48 hours ahead of the first match in the tournament, we provide no guarantee that the tournament page is ready when the tournament begins.
For any tournament to be added after its conclusion, not all details are required, as long as it is possible to have coverage without any critical details such as prize money, rosters or results missing.
Limitation of Coverage
As many tournaments feature an open sign-up process or a very large number of participants, the coverage of a tournament will not always cover the entirety of an event, but rather all important parts of a tournament. Important parts of a tournament are:
- Stages that are relevant for prize money
- Stages that feature many notable participants
The first round/stage of online events with an open-signup process should almost always be skipped.
Events which are played entirely offline may see additional rounds/stages covered, compared to events fully played online.
Event Removal
Liquipedia admins reserve the right to remove any tournament without any explanations at any Stage of an event. Additionally, Liquipedia admins can deny the coverage of any tournament ahead of its start, should tournament organizers approach editors with the intent to get their event added to the wiki.
Maps
[edit]We try to accumulate as much information about maps as possible. Map pages usually include notable features.
User pages
[edit]Completely optional, but make your userpage a good indication of who you are!
Feel free to be friendly or use some Userboxes to spruce things up.
