== Split NWC Content Into Three Articles Or Merge Into One General Article ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|failed|1-1-7|leave as is}}
I find it kind of weird we split the general NWC branding from the competition held in 1990, but don't with the 2015 and 2017 revivals. I propose we either keep NWC-related material merged in one article or we split into [[Nintendo World Championships 1990]], [[Nintendo World Championships 2015]], and [[Nintendo World Championships 2017]], meaning [[Nintendo World Championships]] becomes a disambiguation page.

====Split Into 1990, 2015, and 2017 Articles====
#{{User|Wildgoosespeeder}} Per proposal.

====Merge 1990 With This Article====
#{{User|Wildgoosespeeder}} Per proposal.


====Oppose====
#{{User|MrConcreteDonkey}} - The [[Nintendo World Championships 1990]] article is about the game cartridge itself, not the "general NWC branding". Especially considering how valuable they have become, I'd say it's separate enough to warrant its own article.
#{{User|Alex95}} - Ooh, didn't think about that. Yeah, the cartridge should be separate from the events. Per MCD.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Changing my vote, since the cartridge is different from the competition itself. Per all.
#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} At best, we could throw in an identifier.
#{{User|Chester Alan Arthur}} They're separate things so per all.
#{{User|LuigiMaster123}} Since it's about a cartridge and not the event than I change my vote to this. Per all.
#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} The two latest seem to be basically the same with some differences, but the first was very different from either of them. Per all.

====Comments====
The problem calling the 1990 NES cartridge a game is that it was never meant to be one. Because the original cartridges were awarded to the finalists and [[Nintendo Power]] gave away gold cartridge versions, this likely made people believe it is a game rather than a tool for the event. The cartridge by itself means nothing. It's the event that makes it so special. It is a combination cartridge with modified versions of otherwise standalone games. DIP switches were used to probably control the time allowed in each game. This would be like calling the [[Super Game Boy]] a game because it is a special [[Game Boy]] in cartridge form. It's not a game. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 14:41, 23 September 2017 (EDT)
:The point isn't about whether it's a game or not. It's about whether it deserves its own article. {{User:MrConcreteDonkey/sig}} 14:57, 23 September 2017 (EDT)
