#'''Soft oppose''' I agree with most of the ideas behind this but I do feel this is too black and white of a take. I'm open to reconsidering and thing OT did a great job with this. But for now I don't back the policy.

#'''Soft oppose''': Agreeing with wiifitkid on this. Most of the notable players sections are fine the way they are, though I would be open for similar ideas. Right now I'd probably be focusing more on international players, as they have significant impacts overseas as well. | #'''Soft oppose''': Agreeing with wiifitkid on this.

@Alex: "Top players" runs into the same issue of being too broad as "Notable players" did, and also conveys the idea that any top player who has played the character should be listed, while also conveying the wrong idea for lower tier characters that often don't have many true top players (if any) but do have players that clearly significant to the character's history. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:25, March 24, 2021 (EDT) | @Alex: "Top players" runs into the same issue of being too broad as "Notable players" did, and also conveys the idea that any top player who has played the character should be listed, while also conveying the wrong idea for lower tier characters that often don't have many true top players (if any) but do have players that clearly significant to the character's history. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:25, March 24, 2021 (EDT) | ||
@MemeDedede: I don't know how you can look at most of these ridiculously bloated sections and think they're "mostly fine" as is, while wanting to ''add even more players'' to them. Remember those sections are meant to be directing readers to the '''''most''''' historically significant players of the character, not just be a list of every pretty good player the character ever had. For a list of all players, that is what the character-specific player categories are for. All the added fluff serves to do is undermine those categories, dilute the information actually interesting to readers, turn off readers when their entire monitor screen is filled up by a huge list of marginally-significant players, and makes those sections a lot harder to enforce (the lower the bar, the murkier cases will get and the more often people will be trying to insert their favorite player/friend/themselves into these sections). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:27, March 24, 2021 (EDT) | |||
