- Notability (fiction)

=Characters and fictional elements=
==Featured articles==
See these featured articles for examples of well written articles on characters and elements from fiction:
==Naming a character==
There is no guideline or policy about naming an article about a fictional character. See the essay Wikipedia:Naming character articles.
=People working in television=
Actors, producers, writers etc. are all real people. Turn to WikiProject Biography for help on writing such articles. Here are some quick guidelines and tips for you however.
- Notability (people)
- Biographies of living persons
- Manual of Style/Biography
- WikiProject Screenwriters – project dedicated to screenwriters.
==Categories==
As a rule do not create categories for "People by series", because they can potentially work on numerous series or movies etc. You should categorize by profession. See the higher level :Category:Television actors, :Category:Television directors, :Category:Television producers, :Category:Television writers, :Category:Television presenters in the top level :Category:Television people.
==Images==
Fair Use images on pages of real people that are still alive are not allowed, because these images are replaceable. You also cannot use an image from a television program, etc., because you are not illustrating the character but the actor.
