Sue Page Cleanup by

Hey all you people who volunteered to help with the Sue pages! It's time for us to get to work. Since it's up to us how to do this, I figured I'd put some initial ideas down here.
I think what we should do, as far as evaluation goes, is look at each page and first decide a) if the Sue or Stu is noteworthy or particularly unique and b) if the page needs cleanup. Original Series Sues are of course exempt from part A; although not all of them are particularly original, consensus seems to be that they are a big enough part of our shared canon so as to be noteworthy. If one thinks that a Sue or Stu page does not meet the criteria to be "noteworthy," than I think a review by a couple of the others working on the pages to see if they draw the same conclusion, and if everyone agrees, than the page becomes a Candidate for Deletion.
I figure that we should coordinate by email. If you all agree, I'll post my email here.
If a page is considered noteworthy, but needs a re-write, well, I don't have any real ideas about how to go about doing so.
What do you guys think about this plan? - Moving to here by on 2011-12-09 20:49:00 UTC Reply

I like the idea of the Sue suffix. I think that might be a community issue though. As for division, I say we should all take a chunk. As long as one person (whose in this "group") says we should keep a page, I say we air on the side of caution and keep it. I can divide them up if none of you want to. As for coordination, I'm seeing the talk page as the most popular spot to do this.

Sounds good. Should we divide up the pages among us, or just all tackle them all at once?
Also, as a suggestion, I'd like to name all Sue&Stu pages in "Sue's Name (Sue)" format. When randomly browsing around the wiki, it can be difficult to differentiate Sue pages from Agent pages by their name alone, and I think marking all of them "(Sue)" would just be helpful.
Personally I wouldd prefer to communicate by email, if only because the computer I usually use won't allow me to edit pages for some reason, and if I want to do that I have to switch to the Mac (which isn't actually difficult, it's just kind of annoying). However, using the talk page would be fine if that's what people prefer. -

An alternative to emails, could be using the talk page for the Slain Mary Sue category, but otherwise I'm game.
If a Sue-page is noteworthy, but needs a re-write, then if the agents' boarder is still active, we could perhaps ask her/him to do the expansion. Otherwise we can figure it out on a case-by-case basis. -

My only concern is whether e-mails about Sue pages might get lost in an active inbox. But since I don't have an alternative idea ....
