If there were to be guidelines, I think Yamaha's approval is one of the main bulletpoints that needs to be checking off. Other questions to ask would probably be: "Does it have a name/gender?", "Does it have a trustworthy company backing it?" (like for the people who claim to be independant developers but need a company to take in the project), "Which language does it sing in?", "Did the company say that it's upcoming or just an idea?" etc


 * How about "Is it confirmed" rather then Yamaha potential since we don't really have close contact with Yamaha.
 * Name, or as closed of a name would be the start of a sandbox... I'm not as bothered about the name the vocal will be released under, more what can we call the page... Classic example was "Male and Female Spanish Vocal" always got on my nerves. I'd rather we had "Spanish male" and "spanish female" as separate pages because of the more closed title.  The issue though is we really need a "unique name", as "spanish male" and "Spanish female" means that the next vocal released would easily encroached on either. I don't think Gender is so important... :-/
 * Added in here language.
 * Also image... If we had a image for a confirmed voaloid but little other information, we would have to weigh in a bit more. Kokone for a time was a pain with limited info... And still is.
 * Trustworthy company; yes. Definitely this should be high on the list of requirements!  Most of the fakes are really spotted for this reason alone and even Alys had an issue here early on because her group were chaotic at times with handling of her.
 * For this list, on the upcoming versus prototype or whatever... I still think this is a dependent. While status summerises a vocal, if an unreleased or abandoned or even prototype got a LOT of information on them, then the extended data would need a page house.  So this would need expanding upon.  If we will not say for Ausgris to have a page at this stage, then we need to put a line here to say *when* it could happen.  Otherwise, we may end up having to debate per case if worst comes to worst.
 * language is a minor detail... I'd put that in with the name.
