Utaite Wiki:Requirements

Described here are the requirements that a utaite and/or a YouTube singer must fulfill in order for a page to be created as well as actions that can be taken in the case of special circumstances.

Requirements
The utaite must have:
 * A minimum of 2,000 watchers. 200 watcher leeway is allowed.
 * A minimum of 45,000 views on his/her most popular solo cover (**Views can be rounded to the nearest thousand). 2,000 view leeway is allowed.
 * Original songs in which a producer asked a utaite to be a vocalist do not count for views
 * Original song(s) produced by the utaite him or herself that he or she has covered will count for views (ex. Halyosy with Sakura no Ame or koma’n with BadBye) but the cover must have at least 150,000 views to count due to the fact the song(s) produced and covered by the producer-utaite tend to have much higher views than most normal covers.

Special cases

 * If the utaite does not meet the requirement for watchers, then they must have at least 45,000 views on at least 3 solo covers.
 * If the utaite has gone professional (signed under a company), then the requirements can be ignored.

For all pages made before June 22,2012, those pages will follow a different set of more relaxed requirements, due to the fact there were no specific requirements present at the time. The requirements will go as follows: The utaite must have:
 * A minimum of 1,000 watchers. 200 watcher leeway is allowed.
 * A minimum of 35,000 views on his/her most popular solo cover (**Views can be rounded to the nearest thousand).

Additional Comments

 * MyList numbers can be ignored because they constantly fluctuate.

Requirements
The YouTube singer must have:
 * A minimum of 500 subscribers.
 * A minimum of 10,000 views on his/her most popular solo cover (**Views can be rounded to the nearest thousand).

Utaite or YouTube Singer?
In the case of a singer having both a NND and YT account, the requirements will apply accordingly to the site the singer is most active on or if it can be determined, which site he/she started on. (i.e Nano having both NND and YT accounts, but is more active on NND and so is described as an utaite).
 * This can be determined by how many covers, watchers/subscribers, etc. aforementioned utaite/YouTube singer has.
 * Checking the date of account creation may work as well.

There will be no tolerance for pages in which information has been purposefully hidden. If the person adding the page conceals information, it will be automatically deleted and the page creator’s user/IP address will be banned.
