Talk:Pikmin

Does this also warrant deletion? They only make cameos as well. They do, however affect a microgame and if a golf ball hits them, they flee. Is that enough? 14:21, 3 March 2007 (EST)

no!

It's enough. They affect a microgame, and gameplay effects them. If Super Smash Bros had not been made, Samus would still be here because gameplay effects her in MARPGIO. - Ultimatetoad

Actually, Samus doesn't really do anything in Super Mario RPG, shes just kind of, there. -- Sir Grodus

But when you talk to her, she says "I'm resting for Mother Brain..." This shows that gameplay effects HER, if she does'nt effect gameplay. - Ultimatetoad 19:07, 3 March 2007 (EST)

Kind of like Link, right?----

Right.Olimar, has never APPEARED in a Mario game aside from trophy, and that tech demom (which may/maynot have) been him. Sonic and Earthworm Jim......That was ridiculous. - Ultimatetoad 19:11, 3 March 2007 (EST)

So... is that a yes or a no? 23:45, 3 March 2007 (EST)


 * Pikmin should stay. They made a cameo, and well...well they should be in the wiki, they are worth mentioning. |

I don't think cameos are supposed to be taken seriously, but I guess they should stay... 00:16, 4 March 2007 (EST)

I think there should be a List of cameo by non-Marioverse character in Mario game. page.We could put in page like this one or the Sonic and Earthworm Jim page. User:Gofer

I suggested something like that a while back, but nothing really came of it; sounds like a good idea though, how does "List of cameo appearances by non-Marioverse character in Mario game" or something like that sound. -- Sir Grodus

Better than mine. User:Gofer

Yeah, that is a great idea! Where did you suggest that? Anyway, we can solve the cameo problem like Ridley appearing in SMBM or any others. I think it should be called just List of Cameos. I'll work on it right now. 12:59, 4 March 2007 (EST)

Whether or not a cameo is supposed to be taken seriously should not be the point, IMO. Isn't this Wiki about information involving all things Mario? I would think that cameos should be here, too if that's the case. But that's just my opinion ;) --Stumpers

I just think that a list is much better than individual articles. Lets vote:

Oppose

 * 1) Stumpers-- Isn't the purpose of the Mario Wiki to get away from declaring things too minor to merit an article?  That's why I left the original Wikipedia. ;(

Do these Pikmin affect gameplay? If yes, keep as an independent article. If no, move Pikmin to a cameos page or something. -- Son of Suns

No,they don't affect the gameplay in any way.User:Gofer

That's why we'd make a cameo list for tiny cameos.---- User:Gofer
 * (I'm talking to Stumpers)The problem is that the Pikmins are not revalent to this wiki.The Mario wiki was made because you could'nt make a Wikipedia article for say,Barney Bubble.Making article about every characters making a tiny cameo in a Mario game would ruin the essence of the wiki.Using your logic,I could make an article about Bruce Lee  because he was mentioned in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Now that we have the whole "implied" thing, you probably could make an article on him. -- Sir Grodus

We have to have a boundary line somewhere. - Ultimatetoad

Maybe,but making an article on him would be rather stupid as Sonic and Earthworm Jim were deleted for the same reason. User:Gofer

I'm beggining to think the whole implied thing wasn't as good as it seemed. -- Sir Grodus

Implied is good for Marioverse characters,not characters whose only connection with the Marioverse is a gun  in a trash can. User:Gofer

I've started this discussion on the main page.----
