Should we add a TabletopGames/Beyblade page?

We've got Anime pages for all three of the Beyblade series, but they all barely mention the real world game they're meant to sell. I don't know if it would be better to include the tropes associated with the game into the anime games where applicable, or an entirely new page since it would mostly be the same tropes on all three. I was going to add this to the YKTTW site, but figured it would be better to ask here if it was worth doing in the first place.

Tropes I can think of straight off the top of my head to include (without getting into too much detail):

There's probably more that I'm not thinking of right off, so please feel free to add to that list. If you want, I can add in the explanations of the tropes later. Either way, is this a page worth having or not?

There Is No Such Thing As Notability. That said, it's barely a game, and I very much doubt half of those tropes apply to the game itself, out side of fluff, which was mostly invented by the anime.

You can probably go right ahead, but I doubt you'd get much support.

Duly noted, but those tropes apply specifically to the tabletop game itself. I'll add some brief breakdowns when I put in the YKKTW.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, but are we talking about the same game? I'm thinking of the one with the actual spinning tops clashing into each other until one stops spinning. I don't really see how that involves Elemental Powers or Difficult, but Awesome.

I'm also not sure if work pages should be on YKTTW. That's more for actual tropes. For work pages, There Is No Such Thing As Notability.

Or how its an Example of Defictionalization when the manga was originally written specifically to promote the toys. Merchandise-Driven Franchise is more apt.
