@Kaptain Skurvy: I don't think this page needs to exist. This isn't a character, nor a person with any real notability. This is just one of the many children in the audience who happened to win a prize. Now think about it like this: Imagine if the entire run of King Koopa's Kool Kartoons was released to the public. This event, where a random audience member gets a prize, I believe it happens every single episode. So in that case, we would be making a page for each and every one of these random kids who won a prize. The fact that Carlos is the only one whose episode has surviving footage doesn't make him especially notable, at least as far as the wiki is concerned. Shadow2 (talk) 19:25, December 10, 2025 (EST)

I agree. This information would be better suited for the episode he appears in, not a completely separate article for a one-time audience member. Wandering Poplin (talk) 19:32, December 10, 2025 (EST)
I personally don't think audience members who are brought onto the stage for a short sequence are really acting, so I don't think Carlos is really a character. Additionally, I worry that making pages for audience members would put undue attention on them. Actors know their names are going to be spread far and wide, but audience members usually don't. A full article for an audience member gives that person's name a large signal boost, which I don't think is in the best interest of the audience member in question. I'm okay with writing, "the prize was granted to [name]" on an episode article, but not "[name] won a prize on [blank] episode of King Koopa's Kool Kartoons", or for any future Mario shows with a studio audience. Short answer: this article should be deleted. And the same goes for Billy (King Koopa's Kool Kartoons). Salmancer (talk) 01:55, December 23, 2025 (EST)
