[edit] Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophies

It must be a sign of advancing age that I don't even understand what some of these articles are trying to be. I would say that this was an advert but there's no external link. It certainly doesn't look encyclopaedic. Cutler 09:12, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: To be fair, a little research could have told you what this is. Have a look at Super Smash Bros. Melee#Trophies. I would support a merge, but the completed list is about 300 trophies. So I am not sure what to do with it. Sonic Mew 09:52, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I edited the article so it would be a little less of an eyesore, and provided a link to Super Smash Bros. Melee, It should probably be re-titled List of Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophies, since the article would be mostly a list. — Kjammer ⌂ 10:02, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This should be merged, but how much? Should we give the Trophy descriptions? -- A Link to the Past 13:48, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, not a comfortable merge. Kappa 14:35, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I can't see the value in keeping such a list, particularly given its gross incompleteness at present. Mackensen (talk) 15:52, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. This information can easily be displayed on the page Super Smash Brothers, but I do not believe that it should have its own page on wikipedia. So merge or delete but preferably merge. Rentastrawberry 17:20, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: the information is already covered at GameFAQs, which Wiki Is Not; and besides, and do we REALLY want to be responsible for maintaining a list of three hundred trophies? Marblespire 18:39, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not GameFAQs. The trophies in SSBM are just "souvenirs" that don't actually do anything; the vast majority are characters and items from other games by Nintendo. Nobody will need to look them up, because the descriptions are available from within the game. Title goes against guidelines. — Gwalla | Talk 20:51, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Super Smash Bros. Melee Satanicbowlerhat 22:05, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not GameFAQs. Also, this list would be way too big if completed. I mean, 300 entries? Nestea 00:23, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete wikipedia is not a GamesFAQ. JamesBurns 04:26, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge. Wikipedia is not GameFAQs, but parts of it are (and should remain so). Unfocused 29 June 2005 00:33 (UTC)
• Delete, gamecruft. ComCat 30 June 2005 19:25 (UTC)
• Keep. Almafeta 1 July 2005 12:12 (UTC)
• Delete Cruft of the worst kind. WP:NOT GameFAQs. --FCYTravis 6 July 2005 01:50 (UTC)
