:::I fail to see how a meme or a video over a certain number of views merits an article unless we establish it as a standard that such articles merit existence. If that's the case, then what would you say of other very well-known things like the previously deleted Smashtasm, or else the infamous Brawl Taunts video(s)?

::::Unlike Brawl taunts, the Wombo Combo is actual footage of a smash bros. game (SSBM) and it was in the very beginning a tourney match of Melee and then became a video, some smash boards and reward stuff, etc. I mean we have Brawl- as an article, why can't we have this?

:::::Brawl- is a famous hack btw. There is no reason to delete the Wombo Combo, which has gained as much or even more rep than the [[Ken Combo]].

::::::The wombo combo, like Mega1 said is more popular than the ken combo and the wombo combo is a team combo, metagame improving thing. It's also very known to smashers and also random people. [[User:Doc King|Doc King]] ([[User talk:Doc King|talk]]) 18:26, 24 February 2011 (EST)
:::::::I '''oppose''' as well, although all my points to oppose deletion have already been said, we should be supporting media and promoting the smash bros series to create a larger community.--[[User:Shaun's Wiji Dodo|<span style="color: green;">'''Shaun's Wiji Dodo'''</span>]] [[User talk:Shaun's Wiji Dodo|''<span style="color: green;">talk</span>'']] [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif ]] 18:36, 24 February 2011 (EST)
@Miles: Smashtasm is a fanon series, Brawl Taunts is essentially a fanon series as well. The Wombo Combo however, is an '''actual event''' that occurred in a tournament match has since became very famous, spawning derivatives and videos to relive that moment, eventually becoming its own meme and a defining moment of the Smash community. See why we have an article on the Wombo Combo and not on Smashtasm? The Wombo Combo simply isn't a random video uploaded on Youtube that became popular, stop treating it like it is. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:42, 24 February 2011 (EST)

@OT: I'm not disagreeing; I'm saying that unless you phrase a very clear-cut standard of what is and isn't allowed, it sounds like a lot of exceptions.

::For the two series you brought up, they don't have articles because they are [[SW:NOT#SmashWiki is not fanon|fanon]]. The Wombo Combo is a famous event that occurred of undeniable notability, and its notability is what got it its own article. It's in a different category from Smashtasm and Brawl Taunts, and thus we're not making any "exceptions" by having an article of it. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 19:26, 24 February 2011 (EST)
== Meme Run "cameo" ==
I'm not sure if this is worth noting but there's a recently released Wii U eShop game called "Meme Run".  In said game, touching a red "52%" will use the screaming from the Wombo Combo video as well as the screen gets filled with 52% text, thus distracting the player.  I don't know if this is worth a reference since the Wombo Combo screaming isn't directly Smash related.  I just thought to get this your attention and your opinions.

== Why only melee? ==
I understand that the video is from melee but it could be done in the other games [[User:MeleeBoi|MeleeBoi]] ([[User talk:MeleeBoi|talk]]) 04:10, March 31, 2020 (EDT)
