User talk:Lossij/In The ink

Hello. I'd like to argue that in The ink's page be NOT marked for deletion.

It clearly states on the 'Policy/Notability' page for Team pages:

''Teams must meet one or both of the following criteria in order to receive a page: Must have placed in the top 10% (rounded down) of multiple tournaments covered by the wiki Must have played in Division A or made the top 25% of the Division B playoffs in Leagues Under the Ink.''

iTi has played in Inkline Division (this is B Division) and placed 7th.

I'd also like to argue that Ink or Sink was a notable tournament with 64 teams. (http://inkorsink.challonge.com/InkorSinkTestfireI)

Moreover, I would like to bring up the fact that some teams with pages do not even qualify for either of the criteria;


 * Team Shoal did not even make it to the Inkline Division (B Division) Playoffs and yet they are not marked for page deletion
 * Team NorthStar has only entered 2 tournaments and yet they are not marked for page deletion

Why did iTi get marked for deletion and these teams don't? (Also, I don't want either of these teams to get deleted because getting to community to learn more about competitive Splatoon teams is good for the community.)

Also, Trivia should not have been edited out. I don't believe anything was considered "inappropriate" or did any harm. It adds character to the team and we would like the community to know more about our team.

 * Hey Lossij,
 * I've moved the team page, along with Shoal and NorthStar to respective userspaces. You may move your team back to main space once they have reached notable status as per policy.
 * For top 25% of the Division B playoffs, you needed 4th place or better given 16 teams. Ink or Sink is indeed a notable tournament and we have a page on it. Notable teams should place in the top 10% - i.e. top 6 for a 64 team tournament.
 * The trivia would have been removed as it doesn't contribute anything - the wiki is for factual information and is not for team description and inside jokes.

 * Per Kjhf. Also, I don't think "make pages for as much competitive stuff as possible" is necessarily a perfect philosophy for the scene or the wiki. It would be difficult to make each page well-written if we covered every team in a major tournament, and it would make the scene look amateurish if we covered less successful and stable teams. I didn't notice the NorthStar or Shoal pages, or I would have marked them for deletion as well. Thanks for understanding. 22:07, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
