Why are we making pages about crews? Why are we making pages about fan-games made by those crews. I mean, Super Smash Flash? Smashtasm? I'm surprised we haven't put them up for deletion. Come on people! We're the SmashWiki, and we have info on the three ''real'' games. Any comments? [[User:XXXXX|XXXXX]] 00:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

:Why not crews? Would you list athletes without listing their teams? Fangames are only listed if notable. Now quit complaining.

''Why list athletes without listing their crews?'' Why list athletes? Anyway, how are those '''''fan''''' games notable? [[User:XXXXX|XXXXX]] 15:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

:Articles on fan games, crews, and websites are actually really helpful to the wiki. See [[w:c:help:Advice:Raising your wiki's Google ranking#Step 9: Create pages for other websites.|Raising your wiki's Google ranking]] on Wikia Help. Mainly, these articles increase awareness of the wiki and encourage users to contribute to the wiki and add their own sites, fan games, and crews, resulting in more activity on the wiki.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]] 16:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

In that sense, I, (not saying in the least that I want to do this) could make some game because it would somehow contribute to the wiki? [[User:XXXXX|XXXXX]] 16:35, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree with X. I do NOT like the idea of some nobody planing to use our wiki to gain popularity. Along with that, you people are using the though of a person having their own page to bait people in, because you want to be more popular. I never liked Smash Flash, or the crews, or the smasher's articles. IF there is a completely valid reason we have all those things (and don't call video gaming a sport again, please) I would like to hear it. I mean, no sport has 181 teams on it. Major reform is needed here...--[[User:Oxico|Oxico]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 10:17, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Toomai said that there can't be any fanon on Smashwiki, and articles on fangames like Super Smash Flash "would be deleted without question." Just saying.-[[User:Brawlingbrian|<span style="color:green">Brawlingbrian</span>]][[Image:FalcoHead.png|20px]][[Image:SmashBall.png|20px]] [[User talk:Brawlingbrian|<span style="color:cerulean">LAND</span><span style="color:orange">MASTER!</span>]]
