Smasher talk:Southpaw
I disagree with the page being deleted for the reason of "Notability." The definition for notability is as follows:
"Has participated in or organized an offline tournament that is run by standard tournament rules or a reasonably similar variant, and has some level of regional or national recognition."
Here is a list to his high placing results: http://allisbrawl.com/medals.aspx?id=47305
Here is the list to his general tournament results: http://allisbrawl.com/history.aspx?id=47305
As you can see, he consistently places in the Top 8 in his region and consistently placing Top 16 at regionals in Southern California. He has also attended every Apex to date. Just by asking other notable players, such as DeLux and MJG, you can easily find that he is a part of our community.
"Has contributed high-level content to, or administrates at, recognized websites pertaining to Smash Bros. other than this wiki."
He often helps out lower and mid level Toon Link players by constructively criticizing their videos on SmashBoards.The most recent posting of his for example
"Can prove legitimate regional or national fame otherwise not covered by these guidelines."
Proof was given above in his tournament results.
I apologize for the picture, I am in the process of finding a more professional one of him.

Added his notable placements to the page, to make them easier to find.

Protection
Should this be at least semi protected? Some anonymous users have made some edits that are simply uncalled for. Berrenta (talk) 08:17, 16 September 2014 (EDT)
Mass Deletion Of Smasher's Background Information
To whom it may concern,
I was told to be in violation of SW:1RV for reverting background information that has been on the page since its creation and its approved notability. If there was parts of the background information in question, then it should have been brought here to the talk page before it was all deleted. All of his accomplishments can be accounted for, and were not fabricated. I can understand wanting to remove his nickname, but there is absolutely no reason to delete all his background information. If you wanted to remove his other non-smash related hobbies, please do so, do not delete all of his Smash history. (His guitar hobby was included because it is well known in his regional community, similar to Rich Brown's jazz piano career).
He is well known in the competitive community for being unfairly seeded, and has often had to contact Keitaro directly about it. His most notable wins against M2K and Chris G are completely related to Smash career, and deserve an explanation since they are the reason he is known in the competitive community. (In both the NYC and SoCal scenes). Yes that was the name of Bum's tourney, if you have a question about it I would suggest contacting Bum on Twitter. Why does being known as the 5th best Toon Link in Brawl have to be deleted? That is a part of his notability.
I assume all of these edits came about because of an anonymous user that has often returned to the page to change "California," to something silly. I would not mind some semi-protection on this page to avoid it happening again. I do mind having his entire Smash history deleted when that history is what sets him apart in the competitive community.
I do not appreciate having over 1,000 bytes of data deleted from the page with no explanation, then being told I cannot revert such a mass deletion of information. I will be reverting the deleted information, and then removing his nickname and hobbies.

Nevermind, misread the edit history.
Ritzxy, please stop mass deleting the information on the page. Thank you.
