::::::Except that's not how it was implemented into policy, as seen in [[SW:NOT]]. That wasn't policy even after the discussion 3+ years ago, and basing policy on 3-year-old discussion isn't a good choice regardless. I'd also argue that this poll hardly qualifies as consensus since we got kind of "witch-hunted" by a reddit thread and many of the accounts voting against deletion are IPs or new users who seem to have had no investment in the issue until then.

:::::::So you're saying that the decision (by consensus) wasn't correctly implemented into the policy and it shouldn't be because...it's old? Ooook. Also these "non-invested users" you are talking about include Toomai, Scr7, Dots, JamesHeart, Brian, AC, and Toast. Idk if there's more who are significant, I wasn't around then (also I would have voted the same way as them if I was). <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:12pt">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">King</span>]]'''</span> 22:11, 10 March 2017 (EST) | :::::::So you're saying that the decision (by consensus) wasn't correctly implemented into the policy and it shouldn't be because...it's old?

::::::::"This poll" in my previous post refers to this page, not the old one. I refuse to let a bandwagon come into this site and change policy in ways that are ultimately destructive and set a terrible precedent. We've repeatedly taken down fan content that had no business being on the site (remember our [[machinima]] page? or our Smash Flash page that was deleted before the move?). PM content getting in was barely acceptable before; expanding it is out of the question and contrary to a decade of precedent. We cover community content that is relevant to the main games, not fan-made content other than basic descriptions. Adding permission to throw PM-related notes all over the mainspace reverses that policy in a disastrous and extremely-hard-to-undo fashion, and is far more than it deserves in this context. If the only justification for it is "it's played a lot in tournaments", then leave it to the tournament listings and an absolute bare minimum beyond that (i.e. the character pages at most). Don't litter the mainspace with it.
