As far as I know, unless fan films have achieved a certain level of notoriety, that is they have been covered by multiple mainstream media sources, and Sega had even acknowledged them, then those fan films could be considered "notable" enough to feature on the wiki. At the very least, that's how we operate on Wookieepedia, though there has been a recent movement to export fan films to the Star Wars Fan Wiki, except for those fan films that were officially recognized (though, not licensed) by Lucasfilm.

As the Sonic News Network is working to become a reliable source for Sonic series information, then the wiki tends to stick to only those things that are licensed by Sega. Unless the fan film meets the notability requirements I mentioned above, it is still a fan activity and therefore really doesn't have a place here. And as for media not made by Sega, there are the Archie comics. Those are not made by Sega, but licensed by Sega. A fan film is not licensed by Sega, and therefore does not have a place on a wiki that chronicles licensed media.
