Crteate an arcade page
(UPDATE) Ok, what 1337star said dawned on me as an even better idea. Again as I said in the comments I wrote this at 3 Am and I was so tired I wrote my first idea down without any 2nd thoughts. I don’t know if it’s too late to change but I still am going to change the proposal below to the creation of separate articles on the various different arcade machines that Mario games have been on.

A little while ago I wanted to search for all the Mario arcade games, I typed in the toolbar arcade games and all that showed up was a little category list thing naming the names of the arcade games. Its wired that the wiki with full articles about every platform a Mario game came out on only has a small list for the platform Mario got his start on. The page would be the same as any console or platform a small summary about the platform and how it was involved with the Mario franchise and a list of all Mario and Donkey Kong games. So if the Philips cd-i can gets its own page than arcade games should to.

Support

 * 1) Per me as this is my proposal.
 * 2) I'm with you on this, and per you. But however, I must point out we don't know much about the arcade games, they simply aren't around anymore. Its likely they aren't here cause no one can find anything on it. I'd like the info, but its going to be really hard to get.

Oppose

 * 1) I don't agree with the proposal as written. As Mario notes in the comments, "arcade" is not a platform, it's a group of platforms. It would be like us making an article on "video game console" (rather than Nintendo Entertainment System or Wii) or "personal computer" (rather than MS-DOS or Apple II). Now I would support articles on the various different arcade machines that Mario games have been on (in fact, we already have one: Nintendo PlayChoice-10), so long as it follows the guidelines of MW:NAP.
 * 2) Per 1337star. Calling something "arcade games" is very vague and unprofessional, and I would rather mention the actual system it's on. Since we don't exactly know the specific name for it, we can't make an article for it, and we must find other ways to mention the system.

Comments
The proposal is kind of vague when it comes to arcade. Are you talking arcade as a whole or make pages for separate arcade consoles? If the former, then there's the question of consistency: why doesn't handheld get its own page either? If the latter, we might get several articles on arcade consoles, but I'm not sure if that's a good way to do things. For instance, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 uses the Triforce arcade console. P.S. It's also really difficult to read your proposal; do you need help with grammar and spelling? 01:42, 21 January 2015 (EST)
