{{proposal|y|Proposed article has been created over the '''Instant KO''' redirect.}}
 
'''See the complete proposed article [[User:SuperFalconBros/Instant KO|here]].'''


Currently, [[Instant KO]] redirects to [[One-hit KO]]. Terminology aside, the article includes several examples of true "instant KOs" that clearly do not belong in the article, which is otherwise essentially a list of particularly powerful launching attacks. The instant KO examples, however, are not launching attacks, and some of them aren't attacks at all. They are things like [[Danger Zone|Danger Zones]], [[Obliviate]], and getting [[crush|crushed]]. This list is not complete even for Smash 4 instances, and Ultimate looks to be getting several more, seen with Final Smashes, Mimimkyu, KOs in stamina mode until the last stock, and more.

Bumping once again. Not including myself, there are 8 votes in support (of which 1 opposes the name Instant KO) versus 1 oppose outright, and 1 neutral. Would like to hear if there are any other thoughts on this. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 19:12, 24 September 2018 (EDT)
:So, how many supports do we need before we can make the change? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 11:23, 27 September 2018 (EDT)
::It's been a month since I opened this. With 10 (or 11) votes of support, of which only 1 disagrees with the proposed name, and 1 oppose vote, I think we have a consensus. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 12:54, 29 September 2018 (EDT)
