{{TPP}}
There are a couple of ''Smash''-related proposals active right now, and it reminded me that this article still exists. Why keep this? It is 100% non-''Mario'' content.

#{{User|Camwood777}} - Per all. If there were a Pokemon/Mario crossover outside of Smash Bros. (Nintendo Power joking about how to get Yoshi in Gen 1 aside, natch), maybe this'd have a more compelling reason to exist. Alas, no such thing exists, so until that day, we should probably relent as this article is very obviously a relic of a pre-SmashWiki era long gone by. (Seriously, we have more a compelling reason to cover ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition|the Puzzle & Dragons characters]]'' than we do Pokemon, and uh, we sure aren't doing that at the moment!)

#{{User|Yo'ster}} - Per all. One of the minor complaints I have about the wiki is that it tends to have a problem with bloat and going into too much detail about unrelated tangents, and the Pokémon article is a good example of this.

#{{User|RHG1951}} Per all.
#{{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} Normally I would say no, but if the fighters would get merged with the Smash fighter lists, I would support. Then there's whether to treat Brawl/Ultimate Pokemon Trainer & 3DS/Wii U Charizard as separate characters or not, but that would require another proposal.

Assuming redirects of specific Pokemon that lead into this article will also be deleted? Y'know, stuff like [[Fennekin]], [[Gardevoir]], etc. '''''[[User:Camwood777|<font color="red">~Camwood777</font>]]''' [[User talk:Camwood777|<font color="red">(talk)</font>]]''

:There's probably little reason for them to exist, so I assume they'll be deleted too. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:56, April 22, 2023 (EDT)
::Those should be updated to point to wherever the information ends up going after this proposal. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 16:12, April 22, 2023 (EDT)
== Aftermath of proposal. ==
So now the proposal to delete the article has passed, the article is now a redirect to the Pokemon series category. But, there are a few things I am confused about. 1, Some of the redirects in the category redirect back to the category with a invalid section. 2, What will happen with Brawl/Ultimate Pokemon Trainer & 3DS/Wii U Charizard? {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 08:42, May 1, 2023 (CST)
:I think we should just delete the category. They are all either redirects or are soon going to redirect to a stage list or disambiguations for moves that don't have a place on any list because we decided to omit the moves from the fighter lists. Other series categories that would need to be deleted for the same reasons include ''[[:Category:ARMS series|ARMS]]'', ''[[:Category:EarthBound series|EarthBound]]'', ''[[:Category:Wii Fit series|Wii Fit]]'' and ''[[:Category:Xenoblade series|Xenoblade]]''.

::Redirect to the Pokéball Smash items page. Bada-bing, bada-boom, skiddly-bop, problem solved. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 09:41, May 3, 2023 (EDT)

::::They're alive and well on [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:05, May 9, 2023 (EDT)
:::::If my opinion on the state of these pages is to be considered, I do think they're alive, but well??? [[File:Fear SMRPG.png]] Well... [https://web.archive.org/web/20110310140725/http://www.mariowiki.com:80/Conker_(series) I'm getting Conker (series) vibes] where content related to these were given full coverage, later reduced to these list pages, and then they were deleted. {{User:Mario/sig}} 22:51, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
::::::I don't know. I think we should really revise how this wiki covers crossovers. Not just Smash Bros. but the Mario & Sonic series and other games that are only part-Mario. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 23:00, May 11, 2023 (EDT)
:::::::We already don't give FULL coverage to crossovers. We give full coverage of Mario related stuff. Crossovers get trimmed accordingly. Smash has been trimmed a lot. This infinite loop needs to stop, or we won't be covering crossovers at all. We might end up just covering the Mario franchise if this keeps going. We might end up covering only one game, or stop being a Mario wiki all together. We would be a nothing wiki. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 10:42, May 23, 2023 (CST)
::::::::I somewhat concur, but Mario stuff in crossovers definitely should stay on the wiki. However, I think a lot of the other stuff is better suited elsewhere like SmashWiki for Smash content [[User:CoolNintendo|CoolNintendo]] ([[User talk:CoolNintendo|talk]]) 12:37, May 23, 2023 (EDT)
