Talk:Paperfolk

I'm not sure if we need this article or even if it's beneficial to have this. It appears to overemphasize general terminology that's been ever really established (unlike Mushroom People or Mushroom World). It's like making an article on "paper world" and "real world" (in context of Paper Jam) because it was referred as such in Sticker Star and Paper Jam. Icon showing how many lives Mario has left.

I agree this is looking a bit far into what amounts to a medium. Sure, there's physical gags involved with them being paper, but nothing that defies general toon logic that exists in the franchise otherwise (Wario Land 2-4 and Superstar Saga especially).

This page does look very pointless. The references also don't use it as proper names, just a descriptor. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 03:45, December 1, 2023 (EST)
I'd agree for a deletion. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 04:14, December 1, 2023 (EST)
This is not a species, the name isn't even capitalised in the "sources." This page has no reason to exist. BiggestManMario dead in the arcade version of Donkey Kong 08:19, December 1, 2023 (EST)
We noticed this article last night and even brought it up in the Discord, and uh... This is definitely an article that--at best--is extremely confusing, and only makes sense in the context of Paper Jam (and to a lesser extent, Origami King, we guess.) At worst, this is trying to fit in a way to interpret the Paper characters that simply doesn't sense for literally any game in the Mario series except for Paper Jam. This thing definitely needs to be formally taken care of before this has a chance to go undetected, janking stuff up years from now. ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 10:54, December 1, 2023 (EST)
