My rough criterion: If a JoCo devotee who's completely ignorant of this person's non-JoCo-related work wouldn't know who he or she is, he or she probably doesn't need a JoCopedia page. By that standard, for instance, Gaiman is "guy who's blogged about enjoying Coulton's music", Wheaton is "guy who released a JoCo-centric podcast episode", Corbett is "guy who did the robot voice for [[Chiron Beta Prime]]". I wouldn't include any of them, by that standard, though WilW comes closest. Thoughts? --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 02:18, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

A request for comment has been made for this page. Please add your thoughts!

Do we want to include this kind of thing for every celebrity fan (Gaiman, Wheaton, Bill Corbett, etc.)? I'd say it's enough to link to their Wikipedia page, unless they've done something notable in the JoCoverse other than being a celebrity and being a fan.
