Talk:Balanced Brawl

I removed a lot of out of date information from the page recently, including updating the link and acknowledging recent project credit. These were reverted; is there some policy or style guideline I am unaware of that was violated? I can confirm that the pruning was appropriate--the information removed was outdated and false. I will make an effort to flesh out the page with substantial updated content today or tomorrow. In the meantime, I have restored the edits that remove the incorrect old material.

Not that I don't believe you, but when you remove substantial content, it is always good to provide links/reasons on the talk page. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:58, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I don't think we should have a list of the changes. It's pretty large, and if people are interested enough in them, they should just go to the website. Toomai Glittershine eXemplary Logic 18:19, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion discussion

I was looking through my fabulously written mod article that I think is the best damn thing on this Wiki our page on Gameplay modification and I started thinking about Balanced Brawl's qualifications to be on the Wiki.

While this article has been held onto a while, I have begun to question its importance to the Wiki.

• Looking up "Balanced Brawl" on SmashWiki yields no notable tournaments that have used Balanced Brawl as part of its events. Brawl+ (S.N.E.S., Apex 2010), Brawl- (Apex 2010), and Project M (The Big House 5 and countless others) have all had notable side events (or tournaments themselves for PM).
• Balanced Brawl is of questionable notability in the history of mods. It's not like Brawl+, 19XXTE or SD Remix in that it's not the first mod of its type, nor is it like Project M in that it got its own huge tournament scene. I don't think Balanced Brawl ever developed a tournament scene of its own in the first place.
• Looking at this page's edit history, it seems the article was started by a user who never editted SmashWiki outside of starting this one article. By comparison, most of our other gameplay mod articles were started by arguably "notable" users (that's a bit of a dirty word, sorry). Probably doesn't count for much, but still gives an idea what we're dealing with.

Ultimately, Balanced Brawl itself never seemed to become very popular in the first place. Coupled with lack of tournament presence and lack of notability in the modding world, Balanced Brawl does not seem to warrant an article.

I'm still on the fence on whether or not this article is worth keeping, but I guess I'm slightly closer to the delete camp. I'd like to hear some input first, obviously.
