Are they really necessary? Looks like a bunch of unneeded information on top of a chart that could otherwise be explained on character articles. Only three consoles hosted Super Smash Bros. games (N64 - SSB, GCN - SSBM, Wii - SSBB), and even they hold little relevant information other than the charts on their pages.

I agree. Having articles about key games is one thing, but the console articles are just lists of characters that appeared. Honestly I think the Wii is the only necessary one, as all three games are available on it. Mr. Anon (talk) 23:25, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

There's really no need to be impatient enough to bump something after 6 hours.

As for my opinion, while I agree the possible information is limited, I find it hard to imagine a game-based wiki that lacks articles on the platforms its games are on. Despite the articles' rather limited usefulness, they're most likely expected by the public. Toomai Glittershine The Honcho 21:51, 5 August 2011 (EDT)

I'd like to think that waiting six hours is anything but impatient. :/ Your reasoning only justifies the GCN, N64, and Wii articles, but the others are still useless (information on them can be found on character and universe articles respectively). Sooooooo yeah. Blue Ninjakoopa^(Talk) 00:02, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Like Toomai said, I agree in keeping the articles of consoles that had a Smash Bros. game. But for the other consoles, I do agree with BNK that they are rather useless for a Smash Bros. Wiki. Omega Tyrant 01:54, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Looks like there's an agreement. Much thanks to all who agree with me. Blue Ninjakoopa^(Talk) 17:57, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

We currently have 4 people for, 0 against. Mr. Anon (talk) 18:06, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Like Anon said, we have 4 people in support of deleting irrelevant articles like Game Boy, and in a year, nothing has been done. I'm tagging the unneeded articles for deletion. blue ninjakoopa 16:47, 20 December 2012 (EST)

So we're going to sacrifice completion of a logical set for a very strict cutoff of relevancy? And how is the NES (for example) not relevant if Brawl has a Masterpiece of one of its games? Toomai Glittershine The Sharp 18:11, 20 December 2012 (EST)

The Game Boy was never up for deletion but just a split, so I think the d tag might not be very appropriate. Brawls of fury 18:44, 20 December 2012 (EST)
