It really is case-by-case
If a bootleg game is an unofficial port of let's say Boogerman for the NES, I would say it's fine to add there because it's a whole game that was converted to the NES. I also agree with Ton that simple romhacks like "Teletubbies" or that Adventures in the Magic Kingdom hack where you play as Sora from Kingdom Hearts aren't really notable because it's only 1 or 2 things changed, and they aren't that good to begin with. Hacks with a large amount of things changed like "Mushroom" can be exceptional depending on what they look like.
As far as like fangames are concerned, it really just boils down to how notable they are and how good the custom spritework is. Abobo's Big Adventure, MegaMan 8 Bit Deathmatch, Mario: The Music Box, and Mushroom Kingdom Fusion are fangames that have some amazing custom spritework done in them. However most fan games on the PC are usually not worth ripping and posting on the site, such as "Mario Fart" (which is a real game by the way) or something like Super Chick Sisters.
