[edit] Scope

  • The objective of this WikiProject is mainly that of organisation and improvisation in relation to articles regarding Coronation Street. What this means is, that there should be a clear standard set for both the editing and creation of articles regarding structure and layout. Quality, substance and content should be a priority. All articles on Coronation Street should strive to meet a good encyclopaedic standard. Some articles are created from a fanatical point of view, containing only unsourced plot summary. Wikipedia no longer accepts such articles per WP:PLOT, and this has resulted in a greater number of Coronation Street article being nominated for deletion. It is important that all Coronation Street articles, particularly character pages, are written, in part, from a real-world perspective. This means that factual information should be included in the article (such as casting, impact, reception and critical analysis), based on both primary and secondary sources. In-universe information, such as a plot summary retold as if it really happened, cannot maintain an article by itself per wikipedia policy. To avoid possible deletion, an article on a fictional topic needs to include real-world information, in addition to in-universe information.
