1. YES. "Nintendo people" is almost comically vague. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 21:39, 4 June 2017 (EDT)
2. Support. I don't see why not, since asocciates sounds much more profesional. -- Beep (talk) 21:42, 4 June 2017 (EDT)
3. Support because formalities are nice. BaconMaster 21:43, 4 June 2017 (EDT)
4. Support the name sounds so weird as-is ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 21:47, 4 June 2017 (EDT)

Oppose

1. "Associates" implies things on the same tier as Nintendo itself, so I would assume companies from the phrase "Nintendo associates" and go in expecting to see Game Freak, Monolith Soft, etc. What's not clear or unprofessional about "people"? Miles (talk) 21:49, 4 June 2017 (EDT)

   "People" is what you say when you are unsure of what else to call a group. Also:

   Associate, noun

   1. a partner or colleague in business or at work.

      "he arranged for a close associate to take control of the institute"

      synonyms: partner, colleague, coworker, workmate, comrade, ally, affiliate, confederate

   2. a person with limited or subordinate membership in an organization.

I know I'm a new user, but I wanted to point out that Wikipedia also uses the category "Nintendo people". If it's good for Wikipedia, why wouldn't it be okay here? Queen Junko (talk) 21:46, 4 June 2017 (EDT)

Because we're not Wikipedia? Aidan, the Wandering Dragon Warrior 21:47, 4 June 2017 (EDT)

Whyyy do you guys ALWAYS point out what Wikipedia is doing? We don't mimic them. We are a completely different wiki with a completely different scope and a completely different userbase set to accomplish a completely different goal. There is no reason that we should follow suit with them. Serpent King 21:49, 4 June 2017 (EDT)

I never said that we should strictly mimic them, I was just wondering why it would be unacceptable to follow their example in this case. I don't appreciate being spoken down to nor being lumped in with previous users just because I asked a question. Queen Junko (talk) 22:11, 4 June 2017 (EDT)

I'm sorry about that but "If it's good for Wikipedia, why wouldn't it be okay here? " is a question that gets asked over and over again, and the answer is always the same. Serpent King 22:13, 4 June 2017 (EDT)
