1. Some of the trash here needs cleaning to pave the way for better things, about 99.9% of the deleted articles had so little information on them that they could easily be recreated, although an article can be undeleted on request if a user wishes to fix it.

2. Because wikia totally won't be on our arses if we don't block knowingly underage users, have you ever read this?

3. First of all, Final Destination, Mute City and Rotom are protected by default because they are featured articles; Final Destination stems from the infamous Homer Simpson vs. Peter Griffin video, of which Final Destination was the stage they fought on, Mute City and Rotom were featured to show what an ideal article should look like (users are meant to refer to these articles when making there own). Other articles were protected because of constant vandalisism by wikia contributors, Pichu is the only other Pokémon article protected on the basis that it used to be heavily vandalised, Ridley is also protected for this reason. Mario and Wario were the only two other protected Nintendo articles, this is because they were high traffic pages, every sensible wiki protects high traffic pages because they are vandalism hotspots.

So that's, what, 7 protected Nintendo articles? Heck, they aren't even fully protected, just semi-protected so wikia contributors can't edit them.
