A '''GoldenGlove''' stub is basically a list of statistics with no reference to external sources and no way of verifying what any of the stats mean either in or out of context. GoldenGloves need more work than most stubs because typically they contain things like tournament placings, power rankings, crew win-loss records, etc. However, you run into the same problem where the readers seem to think that a wiki is just free webspace to store their data as tournaments progress. | A '''GoldenGlove''' stub is basically a list of statistics with no reference to external sources and no way of verifying what any of the stats mean either in or out of context.

One big problem with GoldenGlove stubs is that they can't really be marked for deletion. We have to assume that the authors aren't just fabricating tournament standings. Odds are, they probably did play in tournaments and probably did have ''some'' impact on the smash community, no matter how small. However, they don't provide any information about the tournaments themselves or the local smash scene, so these sorts of things need to be incorporated into articles where the subject is not sufficiently covered elsewhere. Most smashers at least provide their place of residence, at which point you can do some detective work at [[ | One big problem with GoldenGlove stubs is that they can't really be marked for deletion.

Most smashers at least provide their place of residence, at which point you can do some detective work at [[SWF]] to dig up more information (that's how I wrote [[CAOTIC]] and [[AngelCX]], despite knowing nothing about them beforehand) but that is a very tiresome process if you have nothing better to do and I won't hold it against anyone for not going back to clean up everyone else's mess. That said, however, I do reserve the right to hold it against someone for ''creating'' a GoldenGlove-esque article without doing it properly in the first place. Especially if you're reading this. | ||
