Rio 2016 Olympics Mario Reference - Live-Action TV or Real Life
I don't think that the images belong in List of Mario references in real life but rather List of Mario references in live-action television. Why? The images that were recently uploaded were televised. Real life references are for products or promotion of branding.

If and when we decide, we need to change the image category to have one, the other, or both:


 * Category:Miscellaneous Live-Action TV Images
 * Category:Miscellaneous Real Life Images

Proposer: Deadline: August 29, 2016

Live-Action TV

 * 1) per Wildgoosespeeder
 * 1) per Wildgoosespeeder

Real Life

 * 1) The event wasn't exclusively televised - it also occurred in real life with plenty of people in attendance.
 * 2) The Olympics is not a reality show - it's a sporting event. Sporting events are not TV shows just because they are broadcast on TV.
 * 3) It's real so, per both!

Both

 * 1) This is a tough one but since they appear in both real life and on TV it think it's best we do both.

Comments
Would this be one of those rare occasions where it's included in both sections? 16:01, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I was thinking the same thing, but how to not violate Once and only once. -- 15:53, 22 August 2016 (EDT)

brings up a good point but the same thing can be said about talk shows and comedy skit shows, such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Show, and Saturday Night Live because they all have an audience present in the studio. -- 15:53, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
 * If you want to get really technical, you could also say this belongs in List of Mario references in animated television :P 15:58, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
 * We need a clear definition for each reference page. -- 16:00, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Actually, this is a new beast: it contained both a video part - the introduction - shown in the giant screens of the Maracana Stadium first and foremost (of course they were also on TV and on internet streams) and a real life part - Abe exiting from the warp pipe with Mario outfits and the SMB level clear jingle. In all cases, the whole was not mainly a television show - it was part of the closing cermony of the Olympic Games, a real life event that like all important real life events is also shown on television and on internet streams. I'm not sure if the currently proposed categories are enough or if a new category must be created to separate promotion and advertising from real life events featuring Mario.--Mister Wu (talk) 16:01, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Might I suggest ? That way we can cover non-Nintendo/Mario specific events like this that happen to fit into two different categories. We may have to do some rearranging in the other categories should we use this page, though... 16:03, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
