'''Keep'''. Omega Tyrant's point made three years ago still stands. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">PK SMAAAASH!!</span>]]</b> 12:29, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

'''Rewrite and move to a guides page''' per Nyargleblargle. Additionally, the other guides that weren't published by Prima should have some mention on this wiki, and having just an article for Prima would not allow for it.
== Move to "Strategy guides" page ==
Discuss here. The two other official strategy guide publishers are BradyGames and Nintendo Power. Should the move occur, I'm thinking we can format the page similar to [[Mariowiki:Gallery:Strategy guides|this article]] on the MarioWiki, but with more information about each company and the guides themselves in the beginning. If anyone knows of a different way to do this, then feel free to show it, but I personally think this might be the best way to do it.

'''Strong support'''. If there is more than one then go ahead.  [[User:Iron Warrior|<span style="color: green;">'''St. Reggie,'''</span>]] [[User talk:Iron Warrior|<span style="color: green;">'''the Iron Leprachaun Warrior'''</span>]] 10:40, 16 March 2018 (EDT)
My position (from two years ago goddamn, I forgot I actually made that post) has not changed and I would '''support''' a page about strategy guides. Even if most of the information in them is crap, they are still notable both for being official(ish?) and somewhat infamous. - [[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 14:03, 16 March 2018 (EDT)
Oh god it's the third time this article is suspected for deletion and it's been five years since I voted to keep it. I mean if there is more than two notable strategy guides for Smash out there then of course '''merge''' with the rest as this article doesn't seem to have much anyways. Otherwise I'm changing my position to '''delete'''.

'''Oppose''' Prima Guides are definitely notable enough to have an article of their own. If BradyGames and Nintendo Power have their own strategy guides they should be created as well, instead of this one being deleted/merged entirely.

:Creating articles for the other two would just create unnecessary clutter. I think it'd be best to have all three on one page rather than than all three being separate. It would increase the size of the article immensely. Prima is definitely well-known within the community for obvious reasons, but I'd imagine the other two publishers have their share of errors as well. The new page could have a section detailing every notable mistake or false claim from each respective guide. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 00:38, 29 March 2018 (EDT)
::Just because they're factually questionable doesn't mean they're not well-known enough to have their own individual articles. And if it's "well-known within the community," as you say it is, that should settle the question by itself.

'''Oppose'''. Brady Games only covered the ''64'' strategy guide, they are clearly a predecessor to Prima Games, rather than something that should be given equal treatment. Separate page, or just a piece of information on here stating that they predated Prima Games' efforts. Nintendo Power is worthy of its own article, due to its continued coverage of ''Super Smash Bros.'', and indeed the strategy guide. Prima Games is by far the largest publisher of ''Smash'' strategy guides (and strategy guides in general) and is worthy of its own page.

:Huh, I knew they made a 64 guide, but I didn't know that was the only one they published. Regardless, I still believe that a general "strategy guides" page would be better than just this. Creating one big page with info on all strategy guides sounds better than having all it's content spread across multiple pages with one publisher barely getting a small mention.

:::Them only covering 64 was an assumption I inferred from the above discussion, it looks as though I was incorrect. Certainly Brady Games doesn't publish in the UK, so that one has eluded me. That lessens my case, although I still prefer the idea of separate articles for all, that way we don't have to generalise what is being said.
