Do we need this article? 20:12, July 20, 2015 (EDT)


 * I vote we tag it for deletion. 'Hackers' doesn't really relate to Animal Crossing at all; they are but a sub-community of players. What they do and how they do it in Animal Crossing is certainly worth writing about, but that's another topic/article. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  20:35, July 20, 2015 (EDT)
 * Yeah, and this is a very, very broad topic. As much as I like people to discuss about modding and game exploits in these games, this may be beyond our scope, especially in the main space. 20:47, July 20, 2015 (EDT)
 * A very broad topic it may be, but perhaps a move to 'Hackers in Animal Crossing' or something similar may be feasible, together with a complete rewrite of the article. Although in that case, it would be easier to delete the current article and create a new one... Red   (talk)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 11:32, July 21, 2015 (EDT)
 * The content here doesn't satisfy me. The article talks only about "Hackers exist and do these things". It really makes me wonder if keeping content like that is really worth it. What do you suppose can be more useful content? 17:29, July 21, 2015 (EDT)
 * Not sure. Maybe what they actually do in the may be slightly useful, together with a larger overview of the tools they use, but I'm not entirely convinced.  Red   (talk)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 09:07, July 22, 2015 (EDT)
 * I am also in of an article rewrite. This page has always been out of place, yet nobody wanted to do anything with it. In terms of future use, we could add a section onto each game's page detailing the hacks used in each game. ~  Poizon  Mushro0m PoizonMush Sig.png 01:20, September 24, 2015 (EDT)
 * Hackers can be in other Nintendo series or even out of the series it should be deleted. Princess Peach &#91;&#91;File:Bulborb Buffet.jpg&#124;40px&#93;&#93; (talk) 11:05, May 5, 2016 (EDT)
 * It gives a heads up with what hackers can do, What I recommend is to show pics of what cities may look like
 * Revisiting after all these years - I don't think the page hurts to have, though I agree it's lacking in information (tools, possibilities, etc.) and needs work. I'm in favor of keeping it, with perhaps a name change from Hackers to Hacking since the article is more about the action than the individuals. I'm also not a huge fan of the word hackers - maybe modding, or game altering? ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 12:44, March 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Voting to delete. This article, as well as Hacked Distributed Items and Villager modifier, constitute non-official information regarding the Animal Crossing series. Non-canon and non-official information do not deserve to be part of Nookipedia; however, consider that this is according to my personal opinion and may be contrary to Nookipedia:Cheat policy.
 * A similar argument regarding deletion could be made for Chestnut, who is non-canon, but she is still part of the game (i.e., its code), even if she does not appear. &gt;Decomposer Emotion Icon - Curiosity (NL) cropped.png Emotion Icon - Pride (NL) cropped.png 06:25, March 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, according to current policy this article is pretty safe (it of course needs a lot of work). However, given that content about hacking is unofficial information as Decomposer stated, maybe we should change the cheat policy. But that's for a separate discussion.
