if its poorly made and clearly bias it should be deleted

What qualifies as 'poorly made' though?

Inaccurate results? That's subjective, two people can look at the same feat and draw wildly different conclusions from it.

Incorrect grammar or spelling? Half the battles would be gone, even Para couldn't make 100% perfect fights and most of the wiki cites him as one of the best. If this is the issue, ask for permission to clean up the existing fight, don't remove it. Contrary to popular belief- you can help others fix their problems. I can't imagine any user sitting there and saying, "No- I like it messed up." You don't need to jump to immediate deletion.

A small amount of words or actions before the battle ends? I can agree that makes the fight uninteresting but this is hardly a deletion-worthy offense. Not to mention some battles here actually would be that simple. It's not entertaining to make such a battle end quickly but the argument would definitely stand that it can be a realistic depiction of some battles.

But let's be honest- this is almost entirely about the last bit isn't it? "Clearly bias"? I like to think I've some experience on that topic- having studied critical thinking and logic at a college-level.

So- what's bias and how can you objectively and uniformly target it?

''Bias: Prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. ''

Essentially the only 'real' way to get someone on bias is for them to treat characters differently. Which is why in the past I have pointed out that my differing views on characters doesn't fall into this. I treat everyone the same- therefor I cannot be biased. Agreeing or disagreeing with the validity of certain calcs isn't bias at all. You'd have to analyze the reasoning behind them.

An example:

"George supposedly punches hard enough to throw skyscrapers through the air. It doesn't matter if the environment doesn't react correctly to the physics."

"Bill supposedly punches hard enough to move mountains. But the environment doesn't react correctly according to physics so he can't be that strong."

^This is an example of bias, the characters are not being treated the same, you'd have the user dead to rights on that one.

But even then- the amount of variables and considerations that go into every calc make it difficult to fairly target bias. Maybe George's series is full of physics-light feats like that so the user really doesn't think it matters for him- meanwhile Bill's series has been dead-on for physics most of the time so the user thinks the lack of such physics makes the feat suspicious.

All I'm saying is that it's easy to call bias, it's harder to prove, so don't go deleting fights because of it.
