Blue, I think it hurts you case severely if you miss out some important information, and in this case, it almost seems as if you've done so intentionally.

That line does not appear in the policy page regarding non-Sonic characters, the actual policy on non-Sonic characters is:

"This is primarily a Sonic wiki, but we permit a small number of non-Sonic characters to have pages. Such characters must have appeared in at least two games, two comic books, or two episodes of a television show in which Sonic was a main character. Cameo appearances do not qualify as appearances. This includes crossover games, comics, and television shows, but excludes those in which Sonic merely made cameo appearances."

The falsified line which you used in your opening statement does not mention important qualifiers, making it seem unjust to not have Smash Bro character pages on the wiki.

Second, a bit of a rewrite. Two comics/games/etc. just to get an article? That's a bit off-putting. Personally, those Smash Bros. characters should get articles for the following: Two appearances cements the character in question, that is to say by appearing in two or more games with Sonic, their crossover is not just a one-off.

These would be good arguments were not the simple fact that this is a Sonic wiki, the information in question can be found on other wikis where, in my opinion, the information belongs. Additionally, Toad shouldn't have a page here, that page should be deleted.
 * What if, a viewer wants to know more about Greninja or Link or Zelda? They obviously won't find it here. Sure; this guy has put in effort to make articles of what I'm talking about, but viewers won't have a clue to get to his subpages. Instead, someone can just type "Pikachu" on the search bar and BAM! they're there. (lol)
 * Weren't wikis supposed to give information about a subject? We're essentially contradicting that question if so.
 * And finally; what does a page of Samus Aran or Fox McCloud going to hurt? Hell, we have a page on Toad, a character who has never been playable in Sonic-relate games, yet he gets a page?! I tell you this: allowing that page to stay but the Smash Bros. characters not is total a hypocrite move.
