Recently it's come to my attention that not everyone is quite on the same page when it comes to our scope on real people (specifically developers). Instead of arguing about this one at a time, I believe it more beneficial to come to an agreement on what our scope is when it comes to real people. Here's what we can do | Recently it's come to my attention that not everyone is quite on the same page when it comes to our scope on real people (specifically developers).

*'''4 or 5'''. I honestly think that doing this on a case by case basis (which none of the options other than 5 actually allow for) would be best, as some character developers (such as Shigeru Miyamoto) are much more deserving of an article than others (such as Shigesato Itoi). However in the event that 5 is deemed unsatisfactory, I would much prefer 4 be implemented than any other option, as after all part of our duty as a wiki arguably should be to provide information on as many figureheads relevant to the Smash series as we can in order to truly be an encyclopedia on '''all''' things Smash.

*:I see what you are saying, but this is an issue of scope, and scope should, in my opinion, be hammered out and applied across the whole project instead of just here and there. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 14:10, 6 April 2018 (EDT) | |||
*'''2 or 3'''. Either way, important figures to Smash's development should be given emphasis. All developers, regardless of how major or minor, should be mentioned on the page as well.

*'''3'''. I don't think it'd be right to give devs who haven't worked on the ''Smash'' games directly their own articles, but at the same time I don't think it'd be fair to delete their presence from the wiki outright. Moving the "not directly involved" devs to a more generalized list would be sufficient enough I feel.

*'''Support 2''' If you're a major figurehead of the series, you get a page. If you helped out a bit mostly on stuff related to your home series, you get put in the list. If you own content but haven't actually contributed anything, go be an interwiki link.<br/>By that token, '''explicitly oppose 4'''. I don't want to see us go back there.
