Talk:Dribble & Spitz

Since 9-volt and 18-volt have separate articles, why can't Dribble and Spitz? Also, the same should happen with Kat and Ana.
 * Firstly 9-Volt was a separate character, not until the third game 18-Volt became his sidekick. But Kat and Ana as well as Dribble and Spitz are together from the beginning. --Grandy02 13:40, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
 * So? They're still separate characters. It's like a ? Block and a Mushroom. One's always with the other, yet they have separate articles. This goes for Ashley and Red too.

Split
I would like to split Dribble and Spitz up as they aren't even the same person, we got to keep consistency (and lately, that's what we're trying to fix right now). Wikipedia doesn't have Batman and Robin as one article even though that title was officially used in comics, TV, and movies. Word to those possible opposers, it doesn't matter if they are categorized as a duo, they're both separate people and deserve as much respect to have their own article; still opposing? then think about this, how come 9-Volt and 18-Volt have separate articles if they are always shown together? Also, Dribble and Spitz have their own separate information from Wario Ware games, that should be enough to split them apart since there will be enough information in the article to make them separate regular size articles. And plus, the Wario Ware series hasn't ended, sequels will be made and they'll most likely have an appearance in those games also.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal, and we are doing this on several other articles, so it's in line with the other articles.
 * 2) Per other proposals that have passed.
 * 3) per all

Oppose

 * 1) You're making a bad analogy. I'm sorry, but I believe that Batman and Robin have their separate identities, while Dribble and Spitz don't really have their own personalities. The simple reason that they are not the same person doesn't necessarily mean that this article should have a split. If that is the case, we would get tons of unnecessary stubs. I would like to see 9-Volt and 18-Volt merged anyway. The separate stuff about them in the WarioWare games can be in the same article, since that's not enough for a split too; really, that's one short section on how they are separate. There, I argued against all your reasons you mentioned.
 * 2) Per the Mario that's green and lefty.
 * 3) Per above.
 * 4) v The Muppet Wiki doesn't split Statler and Waldorf (the old guys that heckle from the balcony).
 * 5) Per other proposals that have failed Per LGM.
 * 6) Per all
 * 7) No split! Per all!
 * 8) Per personal policy below.

Comment
Your deadline was wrong: proposals end at 24:00 or 23:59. - 16:13, 26 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I'm on PST-zone, GMT is 8 hours ahead for me.
 * Doesn't matter: the wiki uses GMT, and proposals end when the wiki's day ends. It's in the rules. - 22:38, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 24-hours don't have 24:00, rather we have 0:00.

@LGM: Dribble and Spitz do infact have their own personalities, Dribble is the hard working, tough on the outside guy, while Spitz is the cowardly, lazy, sheep person. And they both have separate info on themselves, not as a duo.


 * Yeah, and that's about it on personality. Most of the info in the article refers to them as a group. 13:09, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 * But they do have separate personalities, that's the bottom line on personalities. Also they thing that is different on this duo that isn't present on other duos, they have their own separate statistics and information.

zero77 dude what are you saying

also what about red and green they are separate characters and they ain't split

You guys are right. Here's my own personal policy that I have on top of the Mario wiki policy: all characters must have their own respected articles unless they are almost always seen together and/or information are too similar that it will be more convenient for them to be together. Is it possible to oppose my own proposal?
 * Yes, Coincollector did it in Talk:List of Implied Characters. The proposal for splitting Rosalina's Mother.
