According to the user that removed the link, it leads to a "dead page redirect with install of Candy Crush Saga". I don't know how it was back when he removed the link, but [http://www.geocities.ws/kdmewtwo/dengeki.html the site the summary is on] is perfectly working and clean now. Can you please revert it back? Thanks. [[User:PokeAwesome94|PokeAwesome94]] ([[User talk:PokeAwesome94|talk]]) 18:16, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

+== Why Hood Man should not be a soft redirect. ==
+I see that you gave Ht14 the permission to keep the [[Hood Man]] page and link to Colress with a soft redirect. I have to ask you: why? There's no real reason for it. The only reason I made the page in the first place was so that I can have information to dump on the Colress page when it gets revealed. Now that he's confirmed to be Colress, there's no reason to have the page because "Hood Man" doesn't exist anymore. He was barely a separate character. Here's the reasons why it shouldn't need to stay.
+:1. They made no effort to hide who he really is. Pryce was a frail old man. In addition to his status as a good guy in the games, you wouldn't expect him to be the Masked Man. Archie was a surprise because he had already been defeated. And Guile revealed his goal just shortly before revealing himself. Colress? He went on and on about research and talked a lot about bringing out the strength in Pokemon. He even uses the same Pokemon. Compare with Pryce, who only shared Delibird with his fake identity and Archie, who didn't use any personal Pokemon until just a short time before he revealed his identity. Hood Man was also connected to Team Plasma. Compare to Pryce, who has no connections to Team Rocket in the games and Archie, who didn't have any connection to any teams in his time as Guile Hideout.
+:2. Hood Man didn't last that long. Compare to the Masked Man, where the time between his debut and reveal was 69 chapters. Emerald was shorter, but Guile's reveal took 17 chapters. At least he has the excuse of being a character who was already introduced. Hood Man's reveal took 11 (at least for the magazines). But Colress doesn't have the excuse of being a character that debuted before.
+: I hope you think this over, Zesty. Thank you for your time. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 05:35, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
