* "Reaction channels"/"reaction videos" are rarely tropable. They must engage in something creative like a skit, not just watch something and display emotions about what they're watching. Trope their use of production and artistic tropes, not what they're reacting to. It also helps if they're covering fiction, not real life, as that falls into the same general category as gossip.

Although the following rules are broken up by specific media, they apply to all creators and their works.

!!{{Music}} and {{Musicians}}:
While it is common to include their birthdate and their first performance, these pages should be about documenting the tropes involved in the songs they perform and the bands they have participated in.
!![[ProfessionalWrestling Wrestling]] and the Wrestlers:
While it is common to include their birthdate and their first performance, these pages should be about documenting tropes involved in their wrestling matches, promotions, and the [[{{Kayfabe}} behind-the-scenes documentaries]]. It is not for gossiping about the person's life outside the ring. Several famous wrestlers have gone from acting in the ring to acting in Hollywood. For those success stories, it is encouraged to split off a Creator/ page and index their Wrestling persona as one of their original roles.
!!{{Roleplay}}s
Roleplays ([=RPs=]) are a special category of creative work in which real people are actively participating in the creation of an ongoing story, typically for an audience or for publication. In case it's not clear from these rules, TV Tropes is not your record-keeping site. Don't try it. Roleplays are treated like normal work articles, with the following caveats:
* A roleplay must be accessible to the public in order to have a work article. This means either that ...
** Anyone can read or watch the RP without a private server invitation, a login, or a paywall [[note]](unless the RP is a commercial product broadcast for profit)[[/note]].
** Private RP content is published for general consumption, in whole or in part, at some point in time.
* ''Only public content'' may be troped.
* ''The players and/or game masters are real people'' and may not be troped. Not even a little. Not even that funny thing Sue did that one time.
* All participants in the RP are considered creators and must follow the [[Administrivia/TheFicMayBeYoursButTheTropePageIsOurs rules for creators]] when editing the article.
!!{{Website}}s
Websites (including wikis) fall into an unusual category between works and creators. Rarely is a site itself credited in a creative work. Instead, its users may (collaboratively or individually) publish creative content on the site, using it as a platform. If these guidelines result in no tropable content, then we should not have an article for the website.
Some guidelines:
* A website is not a creator unless it receives an authorship credit ''as itself''.
* A website is not a creative work, although content published on it may be. [[note]](Leaving aside discussions about whether the design of a website can itself be considered tropable.)[[/note]]
* A website may be a publication or distribution platform, but it should not have an index of works unless it is in some way involved in the production of the content as well as its distribution. (Netflix makes original shows and publishes shows from other creators. Only its original shows would be listed on its article.)
* The users and administrators of a website are real people and troping them is prohibited. Yes, even if they adopt personas.
