'''Keep but alter''' I think an article explaining the goals and workings of competitive play is fine, but make the article sound less like an essay and remove the self-aggrandising bits. <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> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 23:15, 4 August 2013 (EDT)

:I suggest that '''if nobody wants to radically alter the article then remove it'''. I know it sounds dramatic, but moderators should consider t0mmy privileges to alter the content of the article or any one similar. He has spread the content of the article across several forums and wikis[[http://allisbrawl.com/blogpost.aspx?id=152476 1]][[http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Competitive_Philosophy 2]][[http://smashboards.com/threads/standardized-ruleset-development-idea.338459/#post-15698932 3]]. The content is always little more than David Sirlin's treatise on competitive play applied to Smash Bros. yet it is treated like the word of God. The article in question is inaccurate. t0mmy did not popularize the use of term "Competitive Philosophy", it is not used anywhere by anyone outside of his posts, nor is David Sirlin's viewpoint on competition generally acknowledged by the Smash community. --[[User:Quilt|Quilt]] ([[User talk:Quilt|talk]]) 01:22, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
