Should this become an actual policy, it would definitely cut down on the number of people who simply come here, make a smasher/crew article about themselves, then do nothing but talk the rest of the time on SW...such as [[User:The blue blur|this guy]]. These people generally don't even compete at all, making the articles really not worth more than joke pages. However, the one thing that does slightly bother me is the "regional tournament" thing. I understand that if someone competes in NO tournaments (maybe just 1 or 2), then they shouldn't have an article. But really, must the tournament be on such a large scale? I've been in about 5 tournaments so far and I'm probably gonna enter one this week, but since I can't travel and these tournaments are online, does that make | Should this become an actual policy, it would definitely cut down on the number of people who simply come here, make a smasher/crew article about themselves, then do nothing but talk the rest of the time on SW...such as [[User:The blue blur|this guy]].

I've been in about 5 tournaments so far and I'm probably gonna enter one this week, but since I can't travel and these tournaments are online, does that make my smasher article invalid? What about my crew article? We are competitive, and while it's on a smaller scale then, say, [[Combo Status]], we are competitive nonetheless. I just wanna know where the "in-between" Smashers like myself would stand in this scenario.

:If your crew's article does end up deleted (which I highly doubt), you could put the information on your own smasher page. Much like Rollback, people seem to think that they can do this without being familiar with what is really required.

Over at FFXIclopedia, where I'm a Jr. Admin, we have a policy of no pages based on players aside from their own user pages. Letting people make their own pages about themselves, even people of significant note leads to insufferable epeen contests that detract from the professionalism a wikia wiki should have. So, I guess I support and don't support this idea. I support the part about not letting smashers and crews of no note have a page, but, I don't support the part where players of the game get a page.

:Well, guess what. I'm the equivalent of a senior admin on ''this'' wiki, where we have always allowed smasher and crew pages about important players. You see, unlike in an MMORPG, there is an actual competitive scene outside of the regular "game world" if you will. People that are professionals ''should'' get pages as they are absolutely instrumental in the creation of many of the techniques and strategies that are used by all players.

I thank you for trying to contribute, but please understand that your situation on FFXIwhatever is not the same as it is here where we have different standards.
