Merge at least some of Bowser's forms
Okay, what are these doing as separate articles? In all honesty, I don't think they really warrant separate articles at all, seeing as how they're identical to the base form. Therefore, I propose that the following merges take place:
 * Fire Koopa to Fire Mario
 * Frog Koopa to Frog Mario
 * Raccoon Koopa to Raccoon Mario
 * Meowser to Cat Mario (or not, for reasons stated below)

Proposer: Deadline: July 6, 2019, 23:59 GMT

Merge everything except Meowser

 * 1) I think this is the best option by a long shot. Meowser is at least distinct and has several traits that differ from the Cat forms of other characters (such as swiping his tail in Super Mario 3D World and the fact that he is a separate entity in Super Mario Maker 2). The other mentioned forms that Bowser takes, on the other hand, appear exclusively in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Super Koopa", and don't deviate much from the base abilities of each respective form (other than the fact that Bowser could easily combine and interchange forms in said episode).
 * 2) These are minor forms, and merging Meowser would cause a horrible inconsistency (just like the King Kaliente). We have Fiery Gobblegut and the pink Hisstocrat, then why not Meowser?
 * 3) Per Toadette.

Comments
@FanOfYoshi: I don't see your point about consistency. Fire Gobblegut and Pink Hisstocrat are different entities from their standard counterparts. Meowser and Fire King Kaliente (afaik) are not. The reason that Meowser should stay is because he has an entirely different attack pattern from both standard Bowser and Cat Mario, and he is also more significant than the other forms of Bowser. - 12:30, June 30, 2019 (EDT)

Aside from these, I'd also like to point out Metal Bowser also has his own page which seems unnecessary. -- 15:14, June 30, 2019 (EDT)
