Policies and Guidelines

From Celebrity Atheist List

Introduction

The goal of the CelebAtheists wiki is to serve as a repository for citations of godlessness of notable or widely recognized people.

The ideal entry will consist of a brief, one-paragraph biography followed by one or more citations which establish the person's godlessness.

Policies

A full list of policies is still being determined.

Guidelines

Cite Your Sources [1] - The citation must include a quote from a verifiable and published source which falls into at least one of the Big Three categories: Atheist, Agnostic or Ambiguous. The requirements for each are listed on their respective pages. Note that the latter two categories (Agnostic and Ambiguous) are provisional. They may be removed from this site if their presence proves troubling due to confusion, legal threats, etc.

Establish Notoriety - To be a celebrity as it applies to the list, one must have achieved some notoriety, such as appearing often in media with wide distribution. This would include publishing bestselling or critically acclaimed books, appearing in movies, being a leader in one's field, etc..

Avoid Bias - Leave the evangelism to the Evangelists. Don't exclude the undesirable or notorious atheists. Include contradictory quotes and citations where they are available. Employ a Neutral Point of View (NPOV). [2]

Provide a Jump - Be sure to include a link in a 'References' section for the reader to obtain more details, preferably to a biographical Wikipedia [3] entry. Avoid fragile links.
