Liquipedia:Notability Guidelines
From Liquipedia Wild Rift Wiki
Please note that inclusion of pages in mainspace is ultimately up to the discretion of the Liquipedia administrators.
Sadly, not everything can be added to the wiki. We want all our pages to be as up-to-date as possible and to meet our quality standards in general. 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.
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 Wild Rift as defined by the guidelines below. Any pages that do not meet these guidelines will not be deleted, but will be moved to your user space.
If you disagree with the decision for a certain page, please do come chat in our Discord at the respective game channels, for Wild Rift the channel can be currently accessed in the #main-wikis section
Guidelines[edit]
When is a Player/Coach/Team page deserved?[edit]
Teams and players will need 10 points to be considered for page creation. They will receive points for tournament placements as follows:
- 10 points for a top 4 finish in A-Tier tournaments.
- 5 points for a top 4 finish in B-Tier tournaments or a top 8 finish in A-Tier tournaments.
- 2 points for a top 2 finish in C-Tier tournaments or a top 8 finish in B-Tier tournaments.
- 1 point for a win in Weekly Tournaments or Monthly Tournaments
Page creation will ultimately be always at administrators discretion.
Players[edit]
Who and what to add?[edit]
Players may receive their individual pages, as long as they surpass a certain threshold of notability. If your chosen player fits in with most of the following bullet points, then he/she likely warrants a page on this wiki.
- Previous history: If the player was a notable pro-gamer in another game (League of Legends, Arena of Valor...).
- Achievements: If the player has achieved notable results, according to the broad guidelines in When is a Player/Coach/Team page deserved?, and has minimum earnings of $1,000 USD;
- League: If the player is playing in Premier tournament/league.
- S-Tier: Guaranteed a Page when the player or team qualified to S-Tier event on the wiki.
- Sponsored: If the player is a notable member of a major team.
- Strategies: If this player has made widely known strategies.

The tables on the left show how the points requirements to meet notability are calculated. Please keep in mind that they are only a guideline and that admin decisions are final until circumstances (new events broadcast or missing events added) change.
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.
Any pages existing prior to these new guidelines or any subsequent changes to them will not need to retroactively meet the new standards; they will be left untouched.
Leagues and Tournaments[edit]
Leagues and tournaments with prize pool starting from $100 USD should be added right away for documentary purposes. Priority is given to tournaments with notable players and teams. Note: non-cash prizes do not count.
To get started, follow the guide at Tournament Guide for how to build a tour page.
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!
