*In cases where a smasher goes by multiple names, their article's title should be the tag the smasher is most commonly referred to by. | *In cases where a smasher goes by multiple names, their article's title should be the tag the smasher is most commonly referred to by. | ||
*When creating a Smasher article, do not create an article that just has a smasher infobox and a single sentence or two saying who they play. Besides making notability checking the subject more difficult, it leaves us with an article that has no real information and serves interest to no one, being hardly any better than if the article wasn't there to begin with. Even if the smasher is very well-known, don't create the article just for the sake of removing a red link if you're not knowledgeable enough about the subject and willing enough to write down more than a couple of sentences. Users who do this will be reprimanded. | |||
*The picture used in a smasher infobox should be a recent picture of professional quality, preferably of the subject alone in a tournament setting. Selfies or any other such low-quality pictures of the subject should not be used. The picture additionally must be of the subject, no other sort of image will be acceptable in the infobox. | *The picture used in a smasher infobox should be a recent picture of professional quality, preferably of the subject alone in a tournament setting.

*If you think an article's subject is not notable enough for a Smasher article, be sure to check the talkpage and page history to see if the subject already had a notability check. If they did and you still think they shouldn't have an article, bring it up on the talkpage to discuss it; if you put a notability tag back on without doing so, it'll be taken back down and you will risk being reprimanded. | *If you think an article's subject is not notable enough for a Smasher article, be sure to check the talkpage and page history to see if the subject already had a notability check.

*If an article's subject desires, personal information such as their name and birthdate must be removed from their article. Beyond that, no information should be removed nor modified based on the subject objecting, and a smasher article should never be deleted just because its subject does not want an article of themself up, barring extenuating circumstances. | *If an article's subject desires, personal information such as their name and birthdate must be removed from their article.
