Actually I'm not sure we should have all these individual articles on our affiliates. They have nothing to do with Pokémon. Should we keep those NIWA articles and create a Hard Drop article? Or delete them all? We already have a [[NintendoWiki|wiki]] that has pages of each wiki because that is the wiki for Nintendo in general. But as we are the Pokémon Wiki and these articles have literally nothing to do with Pokémon, they shouldn't be here. The Mario Wiki article doesn't mention its' Smash Bros. content and Smash Wiki doesn't mention the Pokémon pages. And even when we add that information, that won't be enough. I can write an article about {{p|Pikachu}} appearing with [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/User:SeanWheeler/Pikachu Sonic] (despite only appearing in two Smash Bros. games, [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|one]] of which isn't released yet) better than connecting the F-Zero Wiki to Pokémon. I've even asked the guys at Smash Wiki if they can have articles of the NIWA wikis describing their Smash coverage, but Toomai rejected the idea, and the Super Mario Wiki article I created before the response wasn't very good. And the affiliates has more Smash Bros. than Pokémon. I asked about why we have this articles on our [[Talk:Super Mario Wiki|Mario Wiki talk page]] and {{U|Chickasaurus}} agreed that these articles are irrelevant and should just redirect to Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. Judging by the fact we don't have Hard Drop in the mainspace, either the admins are still trying to decide on the NIWA articles or are working on Hard Drop in the userspace. But after a search, it seems Hard Drop isn't even in the userspace, so looks no one is even working on it. Well, better to wait to decide how we handle these affiliate articles. I mean, just because they are partners with Bulbapedia, grants them an article despite having little to no Pokémon content?
