Talk:Gary (Super Paper Mario)

Do we really need this article? It seems pretty useless. This info can be found on Luigi's page. Just because his name is mentioned once doesn't mean he gets an article. It's just a random generic name they threw in because his buddy needed to call him something (same thing with this guy). He doesn't deserve an article anymore than his partner (Larry?) does. As a matter of fact, we have quite a few articles like this that I'm really not sure about. 17:57, 13 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Well, they are named individuals no matter how generic they look. It's pretty much why we have articles like Paratroopa (character) and Lakitu (character). 18:29, 13 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Policy supports giving articles to any named NPCs, and also, the MPA characters have more going for them than just a name as I have argued time and time again. 19:10, 13 May 2017 (EDT)
 * OK, thanks, but now I have another thing to say. The Minor NPCs policy also says that if an unnamed NPC has some sort of improtance to the story, they should also be given an article. So should (Gary's friend) get an article? Or would it be redundant since he serves the exact same purpose as Gary? Sorry if I sound disagreeable, but I'm still new to some policies.

 * At the very least, if "Larry" receives an article, he wouldn't be called Larry. When it comes to creating articles for NPCs that do not have names, the standard is to use short and succinct descriptions of their roles, such as Hammer Bro Captain, Beetle Mania Toad, and Excess Express Engineer. 19:49, 13 May 2017 (EDT)

Forgot all about this. So should Gary's friend get an article? And if so, what would he be called? ? ? ? He does serve a slightly separate role from Gary (betraying Luigi). 11:37, 5 February 2018 (EST)


 * Minor NPCs discourages articles on conjecturally named NPCS, but if an unnamed NPC can be said to have some sort of importance to the story, the character warrants an article. While I see this Goomba's actions as relevant to the story, as his betrayal of Luigi contributes to the creation of Mr. L, what does everybody else think? Does this need a proposal?
