Why is this a page?[edit]

I hate to stomp on a brand new article that another editor just put a good amount of work into publishing, but I am extremely confused by this article's existence. The only source is a Supper Mario Broth post whose only source is a Pintrest upload of the image on the article. And I'm really just left thinking like... Is this really just a claw machine that happens to only contain Boo plushies? being filled with several of one plush is hardly unique among claw machines. Arcade owners can put whatever they want in their machines. It's not even apparent that the machine is unique in any way. -PopitTart (talk) 18:51, November 26, 2025 (EST)

Yeah, no. This kind of thing does not warrant an article whatsoever. The Dab Master 19:13, November 26, 2025 (EST)
I made a page for this because Broth said it was officially licensed. But the more I think about it and looking into what we have further, I don't think this is official. The clouds in the background of this machine don't really look official, and all the Pinterest post says is "King Boo Aesthetic", and nothing else. I'm not sure why Broth thought this was official. I'll put up a delete notice for now. Sprite of Lakitu from Super Mario Bros.RykituSprite of Lakitu from Super Mario Bros.
It would be ok if this claw machine had official branding and was at an official Mario-related location like Mario Factory (UFO Catcher), but this appears to be just a normal claw machine, so I agree with deleting the page. 1468z (talk) 02:48, November 27, 2025 (EST)
