Brawl Characters' Final Smashes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Clearly gameguide material, goes into inappropriate and unencyclopedic detail. So Awesome (talk) 00:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related-related deletion discussions.   -- Fabrictramp (talk) 00:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTGUIDE. It does not cite its sources, and any encyclopedic content is already in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. (series) articles. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 01:01, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. MrKIA11 (talk) 01:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not game guide. Zero Kitsune (talk) 01:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia isn't a game guide.  Celarnor Talk to me  02:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Should be deleted as it goes against WP policy, but, any interested parties should record that information elsewhere. It's pretty good. TheNobleSith (talk) 03:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, although as a comment the article was only created a day before nomination by a new user who hasn't been notified of the AfD yet. I'll take care of it now as the user probably isn't aware of the content policies we have here. Hopefully it'll soften the blow as we don't want to bite the newbies. Gazimoff (talk) 06:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GAMEGUIDE as above. 08:27, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. BWH76 (talk) 09:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as pure game guide material. I see no way this could be made into an encyclopedic entry. (Is there snow in the forecast?)  OlenWhitaker   • talk to me or don't • ♣ ♥ ♠ ♦ 18:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:SNOW, WP:NOTGUIDE...we have IGN for this sorta stuff.  21 6 55  ωhατ δo γoυ ωαητ? 21:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:GAMEGUIDE. List of nothing more than WP:GAMECRUFT. Per Gazimoff though, the original creator does seem to be quite new, and we should avoid being bitey here. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 01:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - WP:GAMEGUIDE, WP:GAMECRUFT, WP:NOTGUIDE, etc. Randomran (talk) 15:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lists, i.e. discriminate, notable, and verifiable. Sincerley, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 16:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Lists is a guideline; it does not supersede policies such as WP:NOT. Kariteh (talk) 19:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Then keep per Wikipedia:Five pillars: notability to a real-world audience, verifiable, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning fictional topics with importance in the real world. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 19:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The very first of these five pillars point to WP:NOT, which states that Wikipedia is not a how-to, manual or game guide. Kariteh (talk) 20:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * We could revise the wording to eliminate anything that sounds "how to" in nature or in a worst case scneario redirect without deleting. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 20:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It would still be a move list, which isn't an acceptable article for Wikipedia either. I don't see move lists for Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter or any other fighting game. RobJ1981 (talk) 19:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Super Smash Bros. Brawl Gary King ( talk )  19:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia isn't a game guide. Look at any fighting video game: there is no lists for moves/special moves. This is no exception, as final smashes are speciality moves for the game. RobJ1981 (talk) 08:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Pile on delete The reasons have all been given above.  --Craw-daddy | T | 19:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:NOTGUIDE. Kariteh (talk) 19:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - This content can already be found at SmashWiki. --Izno (talk) 19:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: absolutely nothing salvageable here. No notability, no references, improper tone, breach of no indiscriminate information, no original research and no guide material. Fails practially every policy we have. -- Sabre (talk) 19:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
