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.
Located at the bottom of this page are the requirements for a page in the "Famous Utattemita Songs" category.
**Note: The requirements are simply an outline for a page to be created on the wiki. They are not a set of rules to determine whether one is a singer or not!!
