We have the Olympic games series, the All-Stars Racing games, and Mega Man comes from Worlds Collide. Also, the rule you mentioned states that Sonic has to be a main character, which I'll get to next. SeanWheeler wrote: Super Smash Bros. have no central protagonist. All the playable characters are main. From my point of view, these sentences contradict each other. No central protagonist, no main characters, not even Sonic. SeanWheeler wrote: Not really concerned about this, not an objection I'd use. SeanWheeler wrote: The point was to figure out if Sonic could be considered a main character the way you argued he was in Brawl, because of his role in the story. There is no story mode in Smash 4, so even if Sonic's story role in Brawl was his qualification as a main character, then he most certainly is not a main character in Smash 4. SeanWheeler wrote: That was before the non-Sonic characters rule was changed. Invalid point. SeanWheeler wrote: I agree; all votes are treated with equal consideration.
 * 1) It's not Sonic - So what? We've got Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Alex Kidd, NiGHTS, Billy Hatcher and Mega Man. And we have a rule that if a character appears in two games with Sonic, he can have a page. Sonic appeared in two Super Smash Bros. games, so these Nintendo characters qualify.
 * 1) We'd be another Smash Wiki
 * 1) Smash 4 wasn't released yet - Now that Super Smash Bros for Wii U came out four months ago, and I'm enjoying it with Sonic, this point is no longer valid. Sonic has made two Smash appearances. These characters have made two appearances with Sonic. This is the reason why I'm doing the revote, because of the previous vote being too early and I thought maybe with the game out, some people could change their minds.
 * 1) Smash doesn't count - Then how did Donkey Kong get his page before Bowser Jr.? I was there back in 2010. Bowser Jr. kept getting deleted while Donkey Kong had his own page just covering his appearances in Brawl and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.
 * 1) More admins and experienced users voted delete - So? This is a community vote, not an admin vote. Everybody's vote counts. A five year old girl could vote here for all I care and it will still count. Every vote counts. If only the admin votes count, my whole proposal would be meaningless because I am not an admin. You know what happens when Sega makes a Sonic game and thinks only of themselves and not the player? The game will end up terrible.

So I oppose this, but to be honest I wouldn't lose my mind if the community decides in favor of adding Smash articles.
