I really think we should add a stub template in this article as this has little information on it, anybody agrees? [[User:NessFTW2000|Ness da best!]] ([[User talk:NessFTW2000|talk]]) 08:43, 13 May 2014 (EDT)

This article is a blatant relic from MLG era SmashWiki, when the term "professional" was thrown around everywhere as a term for "good player", and indeed the article in its [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Professionals&oldid=111783 initial form] was just a "list of good players", which persisted until the "list of professionals" was [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Professional_smasher&diff=499458&oldid=477654 removed several years later] (also the article had a botched move job way back and so its history is split between two different pages). An article just describing what a good player is has no worthwhile information to devote an entire article to, and reverting the page back to a "list of good players" is completely nonnegotiable when we got several better means to organize notable players for every character (whether it be the character players categories, the MHSP sections on every character article, or [[:Category:VIP players]] for especially historic players). The only somewhat salvageable angle I see for this article is expanding the income section and focusing the article entirely on that, but aside from likely not having the data for that (how many people publicly detailed their complete income from everything Smash?), there's the question if that would even be appropriate content for the wiki. If anyone wants to oppose this deletion, they must provide a draft for how this article could be restructured to be salvageable, because this article will not remain on the wiki in its current state no matter what. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 20:51, March 17, 2024 (EDT)
:I have to wonder what, in general, this article covers that the Smasher article doesn't. Unless that answer is something of significance, then I see no reason to oppose deleting this.
