 == Regarding new content == 

 Page is getting a little unwieldy and not about to get any smaller, so I've archived. I certainly don't want to chop off any active discussions  however, if all you're posting here to do is to try and confirm a picture you found on the Internet, take it elsewhere. If it's an obvious fake, it's going to be deleted. If you're posting speculation about removed characters, it's going to be deleted. There is a lot of legitimate information out there and a lot of fake stuff; please try to be discerning when bringing it up for article inclusion consideration. Thank you.    

 ==Characters officially confirmed according to Wikipedia's policies== 
 Note: since Super Smash Bros. Brawl is now released in Japan, footage from the game can be used as a citation, and as such this particular list is irrelevant. /  

 Lucario, Falco, R.O.B., Luigi, Mr. Game & Watch, Captain Falcon - Computer and Video Games 

 Marth, Ness - IGN - Official Intro Video 

 Please update this list with links to Wikipidia-verification-approved websites.  The only characters that have not yet been confirmed by an official publication, but have been confirmed by pictures, are Ganondorf and WW LINK, so be on the lookout for these articles. /  
 :I've already done Marth's, but given as I don't spend too much time looking through game sites, is C&VG; truly a reliable source? -' ( )  
 ::Well, wait till these sources are reliable.  IGN is definitely reliable.  But the other source does not appear to be so.    
 ::I'd hold off on Bomberman. I've been reading that it's a faked shot. Equally unverifiable, but futher confirmation should be required, seeing as he's not mentioned by other sources, be they legitimate for Wikipeida or not.    
 :::Computer and Video Games is backed by 26-27 years of experience. However, since exceptional claims require exceptional sources, you can wait until more sites pick that information up as well.     
 ::::Ah, alright. Thank'ee, Rey. -' ( )  

 Plus, who says a reliable website, cant make a mistake.    
 ::Updated the list.  It now looks somewhat bleak... /  
 ::why can't we add C.Falcon or Luigi?  
 :::Until they're confirmed by a notable, verifiable publication, we can't say that they've been confirmed by Wikipedia's policies. Although I'm convinced by the pictures, it goes against Wikipedia policy to solely use anonymously uploaded pictures of an unreleased game as a source. This list is for characters confirmed by official, reliable sources. /  

 Re-added this to active discussion to clarify where we've gotten so far regarding acceptable content for citations and characters that can be confirmed. If this is deemed unnecessary, than you may revert. /  
 :Added Ness to characters shown in IGN intro video; I forgot he made an appearance. /  
 ::Oobug, thank you for restoring this topic  I never meant to throw the baby out with the bathwater!   21:48, 29 Januar
