To be sure the standards must be highest when we are dealing with the
biography of a living person. For the walk through of a video game or
the plot outline of a movie the game or the movie itself should be
adequate verification.
I think we've been through this one a few times. Movie yes, video game no, IMHO.
Superficially "human dignity" is a fine
standard, but like notability it
is a subjective standard. This makes it difficult to narrow the scope
of its application.
We could try. We haven't tried very hard with notability. Read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notability - it basically says "after 5
years of Wikipedia, we still have no consensus whatever on what should
be in or out, or even, whether a policy on what should be in or out
should exist". That's a pretty major failing.
