== Summary ==
Please remember that SmashWiki is a place where users go to obtain information about Super Smash Bros, not to get spammed with what can be seen as useless information, especially to casual players.  Smashers are certainly a large part of SmashWiki and can be represented here, but they must follow the proper criteria and not participate in spewing said useless biased information or wikisquatting.  Your target audience is not yourself or your friends, it is people interested in Smash. Your smasher page should reflect this!
