Scope

The objective of this

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.

What do we include?

The main criteria for inclusion should be

notability
. That being said, to avoid clutter and confusion, we should note the following.

Characters

Many characters that appear in Coronation Street do not pass the notability guidelines on fiction. Each character that appears can be included in one of the lists of characters, such as List of Coronation Street characters or List of former Coronation Street characters. Even characters with a separate article should be included in these lists. Articles can be de-merged if they grow very large, but please discuss them first.

Images

Illustrations for Coronation Street-related articles are typically taken from screen captures, publicity materials, magazine articles and websites. As such, they are nearly all non-free and must only be used in conformance with the

fair use rationales
justifying their use in the articles. Such images are in danger of deletion; you can remedy this by writing better rationales.
