| :Probably because the Cabal Deserters have had far more relevance to Destiny 2 than a few Fallen pirates of yore. That’s why. There’s nothing saying they can’t be recorded anywhere, but as far as factions go they are notable as [[Symmetry]], something to be namedropped without much significance to the present. —{{User:Dante the Ghost/Sig}} 16:44, August 13, 2024 (EDT) | | :Probably because the Cabal Deserters have had far more relevance to Destiny 2 than a few Fallen pirates of yore.

| :But they’re at least more relevant than the [[House of Scar]]. they’re a wiki-made faction with no major lore tie-ins outside of Variks’ grimoire entry in the Destiny franchise. Kuato, Didactic Mind 17:17, August 13, 2024 (EDT)

| :'''Let me''' make something eminently clear to you.
| |
|
| |
| :Rules-lawyering will not help your case. You are comparing apples to oranges. Here is example number one.
| |
| # [[House of Scar]] was made on September 9th, 2015
| |
| # [[The Taken King]] DLC was released six days later
| |
|
| |
| :Example number two.
| |
| # [[Destiny 2]] is released on September 6th, 2017
| |
| # The Old Crews are mentioned in [[Season of Plunder]], released between August 23rd to December 6th, 2022

| :What do we draw from these two examples? In the first example, Destiny had been going through a lore-and-gameplay drought. The base Destiny game is underwhelming and empty, full of "I can't even explain why I can't even explain"; The Dark Below added a raid and little much else; House of Wolves added an arena and a new major enemy faction to the game, and little else. Destinypedia ''literally'' had nothing better to do other than make pages for every single scrap of anything lore relevant we could find, and that was while The Taken King expansion was about to drop, the first major overhaul of the entire Destiny game experience.

| :In the second example, we have a glut of Destiny content. There's so much being released and dropped that we focus on the major stuff first and leave the little stuff for either later or for someone obsessed with it to deal with it. We are also under the impression that Bungie largely knows what they are doing, or at the very least have their own story bible to consult rather than trust a fan-made wiki. This is before Bungie went ahead and canonized [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] (my fanfic creation) rather than [[Veekris, the Shipstealer]] because I misheard Variks consistently for an entire year while I was able to play Destiny: The Taken King. And then Bungie has gone and canonized our placeholder title [[Sol Collective]] for a major Vex faction instead of creating their own.

| :So now we are under a bit of a bind -- do we continue to make pages for every scattered lore tidbit that has been namedropped over the years while dealing with the flood of content that Bungie keeps pouring out, or do we start being selective about what pages we create and which places to put information at, since even Bungie is looking at us as their unofficial lore bible?
| |
|
| |
| :TL;DR -- old content like [[House of Scar]] was made during a time when Destiny was so dry of content we looked for anything even remotely catalogue-worthy to record. The Old Crews have been name-dropped during a time when Destiny is under a veritable flood of newly released content, and everyone's time and energy is spent keeping up with it. That fact that Bungie is also looking at us complicates things considerably. Who knows what other fanfic they might canonize.
| |
|
| |
| :House of Scar, at the very least, is already there, and if Bungie decides "hey let's use this one name our lore writer put in Variks, The Loyal's Grimoire card" that is their prerogative. The Old Crews, by extension, are "newer" content and are not as important to log as a page to languish after being made. The Old Crews ''will'' be put in, eventually; put them under the main [[Fallen]] page if you think they need to go there.

| :As for House of Scar, thanks for alerting me that the page needs some maintenance. --{{User:Dante the Ghost/Sig}} 18:03, August 13, 2024 (EDT)
