Recently, I feel as though the notable players sections have caused nothing but trouble. People continue to add non-notable players despite repeated requests to not do so. So here's my suggestion: Change the rules so that only smashers already with a page on SmashWiki can be added to those lists. Yes, some legitimate players will have to be removed from the lists, but they should have already had pages made for them anyway. I hope this idea will cut down on the amount of edits that just get undone in a matter of minutes. John This is for my signature, which I was told needed to be edited.

Good idea in theory, but it does remove potentially good players and leave behind potentially bad ones. Serpent SKSig.png King 00:33, 3 July 2016 (EDT)
Well again, this can be used to encourage users to create pages for notable smashers, and we shouldn't be adding potentially bad players to those lists anyway, so I don't think either of those factors will be issues.

My only argument against that is the fact that notable smashers who don't have a page and need one are therefore less likely to get a page (seeing as how red links are a way to notify us of something that needs a page).
