MarioWiki:Featured articles/N3/Baby Mario

Support

 * 1) This article has been nominated featured multiple times, and it failed for a good reason too. However, all the errors that were present in the previous nomination are currently checked. There is no section stub anymore. It has been removed quite some time ago. And for those of you wondering about the Partners in Time section, I rewrote it and cleaned it up. I also proofread the article carefully and corrected any major errors I can find. Finally, the article has enough images to illustrate Baby Mario's roles in game. I believe this article is ready to be featured.

Oppose

 * 1) There are two things that immediately stand out to me: one is that the section on Super Mario-Kun (you forgot a hyphen there) does not inform the reader on what role Baby Mario actually plays in the comic. The other is that the cameos section lists games where Baby Mario does not make a notable appearance, even though pretty much every other article has individual sections for each of these games, and articles that do have a cameos section use it for listing a character's appearance in non-first-party games. The intro to the article also feels rather off to me, especially with the "created to be Mario as an infant" line. It just doesn't sound right.

I definitely agree with you. The page looks like it is in good shape, and I think it deserves to be featured article. GalaxyFan (talk) 21:48, 8 March 2013 (EST)
 * One thing for certain is that it is definitely better looking than before; the other times it got nominated, it was still a mess.

This may be a small problem, but didn't Baby Mario appear in the Super Mario Kun manga as well? Why don't I see it? 173.55.155.46 13:37, 9 March 2013 (EST)
 * Fixed
 * The section mentions that he plays a "large role" in the comics, but... what is it? All it tells us is essentially, "Baby Mario appears in this comic and this comic where he does stuff", which doesn't actually inform us.
