Notability

There's a problem if I come to the category for "very important people" and I don't know who half the people are, even after I read their articles. --Kirby King 18:49, February 20, 2007 (GMT)

Delete Per above, and putting someone in here is more a matter of opinion. And nobody wants that. Air Conditioner -.-- -.-- --..! 20:57, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

Delete Mostly outdated and unnecessary. Mr. Anontalk 21:10, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

Keep Multiple reasons as to why this category doesn't have to be an opinion category. Simply set a few guidelines on what makes a smasher important. For example:

• Check to see if they're high placing smashers.
• Check to see if they discovered something.
• Check to see if they set a new record for something (Winning with a low tier, entering a tournament when you're under 15, etc.).
• Ask a competitive user if they recognize the name.

The category would help new people recognize who the famous smashers are, without going "He's that one guy in that one tournament" every single time someone mentions a famous smasher. MegaTron1XD 21:46, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

• "Check to see if they're high placing smashers."

In that case, this list is far outdated and not useful. How many of top professionals do you think are here? Even if we needed to categorize all of them, a category like "VIP" is not useful, as compared to something like "Category: Top Professionals", which actually gives some kind of explanation in its title.

• "Check to see if they discovered something."

Why should we have to chronicle every discoverer of every glitch and advanced technique? Does that mean people like this guy should be categorized as "Very Important People" even though there is very little information to cover?

• "Check to see if they set a new record for something (Winning with a low tier, entering a tournament when you're under 15, etc.)."

Since when does this wiki keep track of professional "records" like this? Since tiers are subject to change, information would very quickly be out of date.

As you can see, all three of these things either can be categorized by a better category or don't need to be categorized at all. Mr. Anontalk 22:33, 4 October 2012 (EDT)
