List of games represented in the Super Smash Bros. series

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Absolutely massive list that just consists of trivial facts (WP:GAMECRUFT; WP:NOTCATALOG). I tried to boldly merge into the characters in the Super Smash Bros. series list but was reverted by the article's creator, so I'm taking it here. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 19:10, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not in the WP:VGSCOPE. Probably appropriate for SmashWiki, if not already documented there. --Izno (talk) 21:51, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per the inappropriate content section of the video game Manual of Style, specifically #7 in the section. This is definitely a fancrufty article that is superfluous to the kind of content we host here. That said-- it's surprisingly well-created content by Insertinternethere which just really should exist at a Wikia site instead. I really hope that they continue to edit Wikipedia and learn from this experience instead of experiencing frustration from it.  Nomader  ( talk ) 22:32, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed, there was definitely a lot of effort put into this, it's simply not a fit for Wikipedia. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 00:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - completely unencyclopedic. Please transfer to a wikia, if it didn’t already originate from there. Sergecross73   msg me  01:08, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article showcases the impact of the Super Smash Bros. series as a whole. The article shows how ever expanding the Super Smash Bros. games are and how many franchises they have touched. — Preceding unsigned comment added by (Oinkers42) (talk • contribs) 04:38, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I admire all the work that was obviously put into this page but I fail to see the specific relevance that all this information is supposed to attach to. Delete  Nevermore27  (talk) 04:47, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete this is already covered in the Characters in the Super Smash Bros. series. There aren't so many entries that you couldn't sum this up in there or in the main article. Jontesta (talk) 01:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT - I'm not even sure if the particular topic of video game representation is notable on its own to warrant its own list. It might be, but the bigger problem is the ridiculously unnecessary amount of detail that was put into the thing as a whole; it looks like something from a magazine or a Wikia page and it flies in the face of WP:VGSCOPE. This article was recently created (about a week ago), so there aren't a lot of revisions to go through; I checked each major revision (which, of about 29 revisions on the page, there are only 2-3 significant ones) and none of them pass VGSCOPE. I see in this particular diff that the article author tried to trim down the amount of detail by removing some of the item entries and synthetizing the topics instead, but the entire article is still far too detailed. I applaud the creator's effort that they put into the article, but this is just completely out of scope of an encyclopedia. --letcreate123 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete A huge collection of trivia and fandom analysis, violating WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE if not anything else. Gaioa  (T C L) 13:16, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - this is just a massive amount of trivia -- Whpq (talk) 15:33, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
