Forums: Index → Proposals → Elevated Melee Docuemtarny

This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented.

I understand this could be considered self-serving, but I'd like to at least propose that my documentary, Elevated: The Development Story of Super Smash Bros. Melee, would be considered as a new page add to the Wiki. I believe it's notable enough to be considered, and is valuable enough of a resource to anyone interested in Melee's development to be listed.

Here are some endorsements by Ludwig, GimR, and Samox to give you an idea of the impression it made on the Melee scene.

I would be happy to create it, but wanted to ask here first in case it would be considered a conflict of interest.

I suppose including a typo in the title of this proposal may not inspire much confidence, but I promise a draft of the actual article would be more carefully composed. davidvkimball 18:44, August 2, 2021 (EDT)

Taking a quick look at the video, and to be honest it just seems like another video that is focused on Melee's history. That's not a bad thing, but if we do create a page for your video, it would potentially create a floodgate for many other creators to have their documentaries on the wiki. Furthermore, the documentaries we have on the wiki are usually focused on competitive play, a topic that isn't easily documented on the wiki due to how complicated stories can get. In my opinion, there's no need for documentaries that showcase development history since that information itself is already accessible on the wiki, whether it's on Unused content (SSBM) or the Melee page itself. Creating a page for a documentary gives off a feeling of it being more of an ad on a topic that is already covered in the wiki. Just my two cents, though, and an initial opinion from me.
