*For quite a while now, I've tried advocating for the list of rumors page to only have what should be considered "notable", but there is a noticeable gray area between what can be considered "notable" now. The community is the largest it's ever been, social media creates much bigger spreading of information (imagine if the EGM Sonic hoax happened now, for instance), and if we go by old standards of "notable", then practically everything gets to be covered, when that 100% should not be the case. The same rule applies here. Again, there is nothing inherently wrong with making these pages; it's the act of categorizing them subjectively as "notable" that I have a problem with. (A category would probably be better than a template, though, I will admit to that.) | *For quite a while now, I've tried advocating for the list of rumors page to only have what should be considered "notable", but there is a noticeable gray area between what can be considered "notable" now.

:I initially tagged the tournament page for deletion, but Miles removed it stating that it's not so clear cut. imo I believe it definitely is. We have historically always deleted canceled tournament pages and once again the movement that resulted from the tournament's cancelation has expanded far beyond it. Something I noticed that Inkipedia does is that they have a blanket namespace called "Competitive:". In this namespace they contain players, teams, and tournaments. While I don't think we should 100% follow this approach, perhaps we could have our own "Competitive:" namespace for anything that doesn't fall within the context of a team, player, or tournament. One thing I noticed though is that this would effectively be a replacement for [[Category:Competitive play]]. While on thate note, if we already have a category for competitive play articles on mainspace, then what's the big deal?
