Forum:Console Articles: Difference between revisions

::::"Strict cutoff"? Everything should have relevance; otherwise we might as well redirect SmashWiki to Google or Wikipedia. The cutoff is ''very'' reasonable; what, pray tell, does the Game Boy have to do with ''any'' of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games? A character came from there? OK, well in that case, let's make an article for the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]]; Sonic's first game was on that console. But why stop there? We'll need articles on the [[Wikipedia:personal computer|PC]]/[[Wikipedia:MSX2|MSX2]] since Snake's first game launched on those consoles. Do you see how that works? We're not the Game Console Wiki. The NES is not notable even if it has ties to Brawl's Masterpieces because that's still a very, ''very'' small amount of information not worthy of a full article. This is the logic that brought about those worthless articles on games like ''Sonic Adventure 2''. <font face="LuzSans-Book" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 18:48, 20 December 2012 (EST)

:::::I am okay with potential Genesis and MSX2 articles. I am not okay with having a Smash Bros. wiki that has articles for some Nintendo systems and not others. If you want these articles deleted I'm not going to do it.

:::The Game Boy was never up for deletion but just a split, so I think the d tag might not be very appropriate.

:::If we get rid of the articles what do you propose we do with all the information in them? Surley we do something with the relevant information, other than poorly integrate them into other articles were they have even less relevance.

::::I don't think integration would go as poorly as you imagine. There isn't any relevant information in these articles besides character origins (what games they debuted in and what console they were for, which doesn't merit these consoles an article besides the ones that hosted/will host ''Super Smash Bros.'' games), which can be mentioned on the characters' articles. <font face="LuzSans-Book" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 19:00, 20 December 2012 (EST)
