:::I'd argue the opposite, based on your two examples; people speculating that Banjo and Kazooie would be in Smash based on Phil Spencer's tweet is pure speculation, since he only said he was okay with the idea. On the other hand, [[Waluigi|people wanting a character and thinking that they're going to be in the game is entirely notable]]. | :::I'd argue the opposite, based on your two examples; people speculating that Banjo and Kazooie would be in Smash based on Phil Spencer's tweet is pure speculation, since he only said he was okay with the idea.

:::That said, this ''was'' a thing that happened, regardless of how big it became, so that does make it, by your definition, a factual event; I also don't think it should be ignored or euphemized the way it currently is.

::::You may argue the opposite, but the Phil Spencer's tweet is fact, it happened and it makes sense to archive that actual event. People randomly thinking a character could be in the game... pure speculation, no fact, nothing to report : You talk about Waluigi being wanted/speculated... ok, how much ? How many people wanted Waluigi in (for real, not for the meme) ? How many thought he would be in ? If Waluigi is worth mentionning because someone here feel like it was important, what about Sora ? What about Shovel Knight ? What about Geno ? What about Shadow ? What about Shantae ? What about Sans ? What about Spring Man and Ribbon Girl ? The list is endless... so where do you put the bar, and how do you measure that how much a character was wanted/speculated ? Short answer : You can't. That's the problem. In the Phil Spencer's tweet event, that's because of the tweet that it a proper trivia : it doesn't matter how much people wanted/speculated | ::::You may argue the opposite, but the Phil Spencer's tweet is fact, it happened and it makes sense to archive that actual event.

In the Phil Spencer's tweet event, that's because of the tweet that it a proper trivia : it doesn't matter how much people wanted/speculated Bano & Kazooie to be added, the trivia is that Phil Spencer answered to a tweet "Wouldn't it be cool ?" by a "Yes" that led some people (doesn't matter how many) to think that B&K were in the game. The tweet and its arguable misleadingness is the trivia here. Speculation are not trivia, any character is speculated in some extend (never forget that some people still serioulsy believe that Goku will end up joining...). If something concrete happened, it's trivia, it's worth mentioning, otherwise, if it's pure speculation, what's the point of archiving that some people baselessly thought something about the game while other people equaly baselessly thought the opposite ?

After everything said, I think we should definitely remove this trivia. I can't help but think that Aidan might be biased in favor of keeping it simply because he was involved in the situation (being the person to clear things up). The fact remains that this was simply an episode of speculation that originated from a misleading version of this page. The incident itself was not that major and SmashWiki should be under no obligation to actually comment on it within the article itself. That would be better suited for the forums, Discord, or social media.
