I don't understand how SummerSlam is a video game concept. That's like saying the Superbowl is a a concept, or the World Series is a concept...I don't think that it's really a concept.

EDIT: Also noticed there is a Wrestlemania page as well.

its just an event so to say in games, or more accurately in those games - just another stage...don't think it should be under anything.

It shouldn't be under anything...it's just another case of someone abusing the Wiki feature. At least in my opinion.

Yeah, I agree Kush. "Summerslam" isn't a game concept. It's just an event that happens in games, nothing special about it that makes the whole game different. My guess is that Summerslam should be under multi-stages or something.

It's an Event, not a concept. It should be removed.

Well in-game Events are concepts, since there is no event category, and the concept category is just an "everything else" category. Whether its notable enough to have its own page is debatable though.

This is just an event. Real life. More of an advertisement than a real article.

But its an event in-game as well. It exists in the smackdown games (I assume, I've never actually played a smackdown game, but I would assume it's in the smackdown games). You wouldn't exclude a location or character because they also exist in real life, why exclude an event because it exists in real life?

I think it's a fine concept. i mean, i wouldn't add it, but I can see how someone would. There are worse things out there.

I'm talking about the SummerSlam thing, not the Wrestlemania.

I suppose if  the games themselves mention a SummerSlam in them, it's a valid concept. Just like Super Bowl could be a valid concept, for some football video games have a Super Bowl and some don't and someone could be interested. I just find it kind of point farmingesque that in the description someone listed all the real life SummerSlams from 1988, and even gave attendance - it's really not relevant to the video games.

The staff has already said concepts should act as a 'catch all' for the time being. If not that, then what? Excluding it completely doesn't work. As MattyFTM said, It's included in wrestling games. The only problem I see with this is that the article written fails to acknowledge it's presence in games, and instead focuses completely on the 'real life' happenings.

Then you need to generate some cheap heel heat.  Insult the local sports team, talk about how ridiculously great you are and how much everybody else sucks, or just call someone fat.

Or log on to Youtube and upload a video of you piledriving an elderly lady through a table.

Concept pages are designed to be catch-alls in cases where something might not fit perfectly in another category.

You could make the case that Summerslam fits better as a location, since it's really used as a stage in WWE games, much like The Pit appears in Mortal Kombat or Crossroads appears in SOCOM.

But "show me all the WWE games that feature Summerslam" is a perfectly valid thing for this site to answer. I don't really understand why you guys would be so violently opposed to it.
