Recently big developers and publishers have gotten more actively involved on Kickstarter, as well as other crowd-souring services, to fund various game projects.While exciting this has unfortunately led to some confusion on the Giant Bomb wiki. This confusion is in regards to whether or not Kickstarter backers warrant "Person" pages on the Giant Bomb database. As many of you already know many crowd-funded games allow for backers to be added to the credits of games as a "Special Thanks," if the backer donates a certain amount of money.
In light of this a new rule has been developed in regards to what warrants a "Person" page on the Giant Bomb database. As per the wishes of the Giant Bomb staff, Kickstarter backers, and any backers for a game funded via crowd-sourcing, are not to be included on the Giant Bomb Wiki database, and DO NOT WARRANT PERSON PAGES.
If you have already added yourself, or any other Kickstarter backers to the database for that matter, please file a deletion request for the page(s) on the DELETE & COMBINE REQUEST board.
