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

*'''Support 2, oppose 4 and 5''' Pretty much in the same boat as Aidan, but I'll go ahead and post my opinions here. They simply aren't relevant enough. Most if not all the articles would be "X created Y who is playable in Z." A lot of people on the Miyamoto talk page seem to be biased towards him because he's created so many great gaming icons. While that is true, he has almost zero relation to Smash. This is the case with all other character creators. In addition to this, you also have to take into consideration the other co-creators of the character/universe. Wouldn't they deserve the same treatment should option 4 come into fruition? In the end, if option 4 passes, we'd be seeing a lot of small low-effort articles on lots of mostly irrelevant figures. A mention on the significant dev page and a crosswiki link would be the best option here.  [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 20:15, 6 April 2018 (EDT)

Ok so I am seeing 2 and 3 as the popular opinions here, so it comes down to this: Do we need to list the big contributors on the list or not? 2 is yes, list them; 3 is no, don't list them. <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>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 19:43, 22 July 2018 (EDT)
*Number 2, yes. Also gdi I missed on the voting :c --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User:Beep|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[User talk:Beep|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 19:56, 22 July 2018 (EDT)
*'''Yes''' Still firm to my vote. [[User:Awesomelink234|<span style="font-size:10pt;background:#00FF20;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px;color:#050DF7">Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Sonic Fan</span>]] [[User talk:Awesomelink234|Leave a message if needed]] 20:01, 22 July 2018 (EDT)
*Gonna stick to number 2. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 04:04, 25 July 2018 (EDT)
