New User Article Guidelines

Something which we need to sort out is the creation of new user articles. This is more of a "prevention is better than cure" thing, as we don't really have this problem, but I'd like to get it fixed.

I propose the following guidelines to add to the MoS:

User must be Rank 5 or higher, unless the user is known from the old MBs (look for high post count and a "Ye [rank] of Olde" badge).
If an MB user who doesn't meet the above criteria is a Wiki member, he/she may have a user article created.

We can't have pages and pages of little-known Cavemen and Pharaohs. We need to have some criteria in creating new user articles, as we can't have a database of all MB users.

Consensus

Items #1 and #2 approved.

Yeah, we used to have this same thing for the old LMBs, but we never added it back after the update.

Or if they're a user on here and want their own page

The first one makes sense, although I would also make exceptions for wiki users who want their LMB pages up.

However the second item doesn't make sense to me. Users may come along from the new MBs who have gone inactive but are certainly worthy of an article.
