Forum:Professionals? how do we know they're for real?

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Professionals? how do we know they're for real?

so i see more and more articles made for new professionals. now, unless they're well-known, how do we know if they're really pros or not? anyone can say, "yeah, i'm a pro." so we can't go by that. should we require some sort of link to an official tourney video or profile?

I agree, there's no way to verify. Also, how do you verify world records for events? Where does this information come from?--Richard 20:28, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, my suggestion is if they don't bring with them a list of tournaments entered and won, then assume they aren't.

Youtube videos, usually posted to Smashboards. --Sky (t | c | w) 22:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Should these pages be deleted? I think yes but other users would die before this happened. So as a partial way of fixing this I proposed a separate name space for articles about "professionals", basically average joes, here: Forum:Smasher namespace. We're still holding a vote for it.
