Should we bring back the article for Weegeepedia?

I'm saying this because it's rebuilding itself. Removing vandals, making new lore and overall it's become more tropeable.

It's a meme, yes, but Weegeepedia gave it lore.

Maybe read it to get an idea before saying no. Don't worry about Archive Panic, the wiki only has a few essential lore pages (i.e. Weegee's Dethroning) and they are well connected.

Wikis are reference works. They don't generate tropes in and of themselves, and therefore any troping of them would be about the users, owners, and the things they do. That's a violation of our policy.

The tropes are about the interconnected pages. Not the wiki itself.

The "wiki" is not really a traditional wiki, it functions more like the SCP Foundation in that it is a creative writing project.

The cut reason in the crowner states that the page was about the meme and not the creative writing project. It wasn't about Weegeepedia but about the Weegee meme. And on Not A Trope memes are distinctly included as not being tropeable. Note, though, that that page does include Hitler Rants (which started as a meme) as a tropeable work as a work in itself.

If the article is about the creative writing project like SCP Foundation, and if there really are pieces of creative writing on the site like on the SCP Foundation's site, then I think it has potential to be tropeable. Like if there are stories of Weegee and his adventures or his everyday life or something. I'm not sure what a mod would say about that, but to me it sounds like something that's tropeable.

Yes, if it's a creative writing project, then the project itself would be tropable. What we don't want is to have the article become all about memes. While all tropes are memes (referring to memetic theory, not image macros), not all memes are tropes.

It is a collection of Weegee-related articles with a story that began in an attempt to revive the wiki. Read Weegee's Dethroning, it ties a lot of the wiki together.

There is also a subplot about pure ones (Like Indexgee, for instance) and demons but most users contribute to the plot started with Weegee's Dethroning.

There are also a lot of wars between different Fakegees (unusual Weegee Clones with some unique DNA) on the wiki, some of them are decent reads.

You aren't advertising the site to us. You need to explain how it contains creative content that is tropable. If this is the case, as you claim, then having an article for it would be appropriate... as long as the article is about the stories, not the people writing them. This isn't hard.
