Split the ghosts of ScareScraper into separate articles
In recent months the policy of the wiki has changed. We have created a separate articles for all the assistants and the Pokemon Super Smash Bros.. The proposal to create a separate articles for each badge is going well, even Alph also received their own page in spite of Super Smash Bros. is a simple alternate costume. So I think every single ghost deserves its own page.

Proposer: Deadline: December 15, 2014, 23:59 GMT

Articles For All

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Per proposal, but I'm not helping...

Articles For None

 * 1) Alph, while the article's existence is questionable, can maybe, maybe, squeak through for having different announcer names and a different model. These Scarescraper ghosts were merged previously because they were merely recolors for existing boss ghosts. They even appear as normal boss ghosts when you're playing download play (if you're the one without the game cartridge). This is a much different case than Assist Trophies, Pokémon, and badges, which each individual is unique.
 * 2) Per Mario.
 * 3) In the short, what Glowsquid said below. In the long, having a page for every single alternate costume and color morph that is not a confirmed individual character is stretching our inclusion policy pretty thin and I'm formally against it until someone provides a damn good argument for them. Alph is the (very weak) exception that proves the rule.
 * 4) Per the idiot

Comments
Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at the Scarescraper page, it looks like each type of Ghost already has its own page.
 * They're redirects. 20:14, 10 December 2014 (EST)

I also don't understand how Alph has his own page either. 20:16, 10 December 2014 (EST)
 * Alph is on the teetering edge of what we cover, but despite being nothing more than an alternate costume for Olimar, he is somewhat treated as an individual character, with a fancy name and a fancy announcer call and whatnot, so I'd say he manages to teeter into an article. Back on topic, though, are there any differences at all between ghosts besides colour? Even if it was an incremental stat boost, arguments could certainly be made for it.
 * No, they're just palette swaps. As I said earlier, I've played download play earlier. When you're the one without the cartridge, the ghosts appear exactly as the typical Bomb Brother, Creeper Launcher, etc. I didn't even know there were alternate colors until my sister mentioned about the different recolors. 23:27, 10 December 2014 (EST)

Are people going to use this "the more the merrier" shit to justify making separate pages for all the Koopa Troopa shell colours next? --Glowsquid (talk) 21:21, 10 December 2014 (EST)
 * sorry for propagating it
 * I don't think it was directed at you. 23:27, 10 December 2014 (EST)
 * Anyway, playing devil's advocate, but this isn't exactly the same vein as making pages for all Koopa Troopa shell colors since those ghosts have their own special name. But, again, refuting myself, "Red Gobber" is less creative, but it's still a separate name like "Wurdle". 17:08, 11 December 2014 (EST)
 * Just you wait till my 60 page proposal I'm working on now about just that.Toadbrigade5 (talk) 21:57, 10 December 2014 (EST)
