"Not appropriate to structure this as such"
@Miles, if your reason for deletion is "Not appropriate to structure this as such," why didn't you instead offer your own alternative solution to fix the situation? If you feel that there's a better way, you should be working together with the user who made the template instead of immediately trying to get it deleted.
Honestly, when you instantly put a deletion tag on things like this without even bothering with another option, it reeks of you trying to get rid of content that you don't like with as little resistance as possible (especially given your historic biases against the competitive community, when SmashWiki has clearly decided that competitive content is allowed here). It also calls to mind deletionism, where people think that deleting content is the best mindset to run a wiki. If you're really editing in good faith, a deletion tag should not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you see something like this. Awesome Cardinal 2000 21:40, December 7, 2020 (EST)
