So I can't be the only one that has seen the various tie-in websites for the latest X-Men movie making the rounds online. And while I absolutely love that the creators are giving us backstory to the new film, I think we need to decide where we fall on using it for the site.

So far there are three sites: trask-industries.com, thebentbullet.com, and 25moments.com, all of which give backstory into the DoFP universe and its characters. But my question is how do they fit into our policies?


 * Do they count as proper sources?
 * Can they be used as appearances?
 * If we do document them, how would we do so? Should their be articles on the site about them?
 * If we do document their content on the site, should they be treated as "unreleased material", since the film itself is not out yet?

My fear would be that we don't write down the content of the websites, and they disappear after the hype of the film dies off in a few years.

Obviously, we could get more information and context from the release of the film, but seeing as users are already trying to use them as sources for the deaths of characters (like Angel), or to create articles on new characters from the websites (like this one), I feel like we should look at them now.
