Bluepages is a wiki heavily inspired by Wikipedia. Our site uses the same software, MediaWiki, and the same general formatting and style as the English Wikipedia. In fact, when Bluepages doesn't have a rule or guideline explicitly saying otherwise, we encourage all users to follow the rules and guidelines of Wikipedia, especially its
# '''Wikipedia requires article topics to be notable. Bluepages has no concept of notability.''' The goal of Bluepages is to put together the histories of ''ordinary'' places, not only those which meet a certain standard. In fact, you might say that the purpose of Bluepages is to create a home for comprehensive information about specifically the places that ''don't'' meet Wikipedia's notability standards. If some kind of reliable sources are available to attest that a location or institution exists or once existed, it can be covered on Bluepages. If you don't think this is an inherently worthy goal, Bluepages may not be the place for you. However, keep in mind that while notability is not an issue, violation of privacy is. Articles on individual houses are discouraged, not because they're too obscure to "deserve" articles, but out of respect for the privacy of the houses' current and former residents.
