Split all remaining courts/boards based on recurring places from their parent articles
There's big inconsistently going on around the wiki partially revolving around stages in the sports games as well as Fortune Street that articles based on new places would be allowed their own article but those based on recurring locations will be forced to share an article (Bowser's Castle and Luigi's Mansion (place) amount the biggest offenders). What I don't get is that if they happen to stages from more popular games such as Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros., they get their own articles which isn't really fair. So I propose that all these sports courts and party boards are split from their parent article as I think the wiki is better off that way.

I was oringnally going to have this as a TPP on Bowser's Castle but I realised this issue was much present outside the article.

Support

 * 1) Per what I said above.
 * 2) That's a great idea! Per NSY!
 * 3) Per all
 * 4) per all. By the way, this proposal can be used for finding out which people are willingly wanting to be involved. If there is someone who is determined not to do it, that person would most likely oppose; but not all opposes (in theory) will be from people who are that way; there could be some who just don't want those to split but would do it if this passes.

I like the proposed idea, but only if someone were willing to take the responsibility of making sure that the splitted sections do not become stub articles. For example, the Mario Hoops section in Luigi's Mansion (place) is severely lacking in information, and if that area in the game isn't very unique as it sounds (I know nothing about Mario Hoops 3 on 3), then it would turn out to be an awful article.
 * I can ensure that those sections that are currently in states that would result in them benign stuby would be expanded to contain enough information. All the other courts from Mario Hoops 3 on 3 have enough info on them so it shows that it can be expanded to a decent length.

NSY, there is nothing that has "forced" the merge with the main place articles. Nor does it depend on how "popular" games are. New articles already states that all individual stages (including SSB stages, party boards, racing and other kinds of sports stages) be given a stand-alone article. Most splits should be done immediately due to the acceptable size of the article sections. Some still require a "layout" section (such as the Fortune Street series boards which are still merged), which would guarantee an acceptable size according to the policy. The article identifiers would need to be determined, I suggest these for all the boards/sports courts.


 * Bowser's Castle (Fortune Street series)
 * Bowser's Castle (Mario Sports Mix)
 * Bowser's Castle (tennis court)
 * Bowser's Castle (basketball court)
 * Luigi's Mansion (Mario Sports Mix)
 * Luigi's Mansion (basketball court)
 * Luigi's Mansion (baseball field)
 * Peach's Castle (Fortune Street series)

I think these titles would be acceptable. The bottom line is, you don't actually need to pass a proposal to split these articles; we just need users who are willing to do so. This proposal should best be withdrawn. – 04:05, 18 September 2016 (EDT)

Pixl Queen, Waffle Kingdom, and Croacuses (rulers)
It may seem like common sense to do right now the first two, but the third one wasn't mentioned in the passed proposal. The Pixl Queen story had a major part of the story before Super Paper Mario happened. The Waffle Kingdom has many characters from it. As for the Croacuses, they are former rulers of Floro Sapiens. I would like all three (more like 6 because the croacuses rulers are four, but I could do just the actual three rulers not the prince. Either way, the Croacuses are together.) be split from the respective articles, yet still have some kind of a mention in them. Because how this proposal is set up, only one choice can be chosen by a voter.

Do all three

 * 1) I want to do all three.

Do only two
If you vote here, please say which two. The 2 highest will be chosen.

Do only one
If you vote here, please say which one. The highest will be chosen.
 * 1) Of all the three listed, the Croacus family are the only ones who are physically seen in some way. While they are just photos, having info on their pasts as well as an idea of what they look like puts them at more of an advantage against the Pixel Queen and the Waffle Kingdom. So if I'm gonna pick and choose, I'd say that the Croacus family should get separate articles, mainly since they have a bit more to work off of.

Do none of them

 * 1) I want to say I will oppose!

Alright, the options in this proposal are a mess. You can't have specific conditions on each option, options need to be absolute and clear. And you can't make the proposal ignore a rule (saying users can only vote for one option). To be honest, this feels like three proposals crammed into one. Either split this into three TPP's in List of implied characters our outright remove this proposal. -- 22:45, 1 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Ok, I will let the proposal run during the weekend and sometime on Monday or early Tuesday, I will move it over to a more clear proposal(s) or cancel it all together. It all depends on the votes cast during this time. All those who do cast votes during this time will be talked to get them to vote in the proposal(s) if I do move it.
