The information on this page doesn't necessarily merit an individual article. Baby Yoshi aren't a species, sub-species, or even a form; they're simply infant Yoshi. This article amounts to no more than a list of appearances of infant or child Yoshi in different media, but dresses it up in a flashy way with lots of pictures. A similar issue was brought up and proposed not too long ago, about knowing the difference between characters as infants, and the Baby characters. The two are not one and the same, and this was understood and the two separated per that proposal. | The information on this page doesn't necessarily merit an individual article.

:Yes there is; at the end of the game, there is a picture of Yoshi hatching from an egg with a star on its head. It's probably just a small appearance, but it's there nonetheless.

==Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door== | |||
In the Italian version of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]] it is confirmed that the [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) | Yoshi]] there is a Baby Yoshi, as he is defined as a ''MiniYoshi'', with the explanation that MiniYoshis are ''Yoshis that just hatched from the eggs'' (you can read the translated text of Wonky's tale and its source in the talk section of that page). Since he also shares the same Japanese name of Baby Yoshi in that game, should a section about him be added here? | |||

on https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario%27s_FUNdamentals the link to yoshi under checkers leads to here but there is no section talking about the game. the baby yoshis are on the checker board btw {{unsigned|CoolDylan}} | |||
==Should Baby Fat get their own article?== | |||
I think '''Baby Fat''' is an individual character like how the [[Fearsome 5]] are individual characters. Thus, I think they deserve their own article like [[Boshi]] and the [[Village Leader]]. There is plenty that could be typed about them. I have multiple proofs. To begin with, [[:File:Hypothetical Article.png|Exhibit A]] shows an example of the most barebones hypothetical Baby Fat page which is about equal in size to the [[Muku Cookie]] article. [[:File:Muku Cookie Article.png|Exhibit B]] shows an image of the article in question for purpose of comparison. Additionally, there's plenty of information that could be added to the article to expand it. Adding sections for Quotes, Names in other languages, and Trivia could add extra room. A History section that showcases images of Baby Fat on [[Yo'ster Isle]] could talk about what items can be gained from Baby Fat and how many [[Yoshi Cookie]]s are needed to acquire certain items. Finally, more information would be added to the article when the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Switch remake]] is released like "latest appearance: ''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]''". In closing, though it would require the deletion of the Baby Fat -> Baby Yoshi redirect, I seriously think Baby Fat should get their own article because there is more than enough information to sustain it. I would like to hear what you guys think on this matter. If there is major disagreement about what should be done, I will set up a proposal for this topic. I'll check back in tomorrow to see what you guys think.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 23:57, August 13, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:"Baby Fat" is only named by a single guidebook. Other sources treat it as a standard Yoshi/Baby Yoshi. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:03, August 14, 2023 (EDT) | |||

K. If Nintendo refers to the fat [[Baby Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Super Mario RPG]]'' by a specific name e.g. Baby Fat, Fat Yoshi, etc. in a trailer for the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Switch remake]] or in-game (when it releases), then we should revisit this topic.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 12:52, August 14, 2023 (EDT) | |||
Regarding my last comment, [[User:Pizza Master/sandbox|this]] is what the article could look like if the yoshi is given a name in the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Switch remake]]--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 01:15, August 16, 2023 (EDT) | |||
I know that the switch remake hasn't released yet, but I'd like to point out that Baby Fat appears as a name in 2 official Nintendo sources and Fat Yoshi appears as a name in 2 official Japanese Nintendo sources. Additionally, Moto Chibi Yoshi appears as a name in parenthesis for one of the 2 Japanese sources. [[User:Pizza Master/sandbox|My sandbox]] provides the sources for these claims. For simplicity's sake, I could create an article entitled Fat Yoshi and edit the Baby Fat redirect to redirect to Fat Yoshi instead of the Baby Yoshi article. Then I could replace what's currently in my sandbox with a different topic rather than mark it for deletion. --{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 10:57, November 5, 2023 (EST) | |||
==Split Baby Fat into its own article== | |||
{{TPP}} | |||
Alright, time to make my case for Baby Fat being split into its own article official. My evidence as for why this should happen is the article, ''[[Luigi Bros.]]'' For a decade, the 'remake' was just a subsection of the Mario Bros. page. That is until recently, when it received its own page and a [[Luigi Bros.#Luigi Bros|new redirect]] to said page. The [[Mario Bros. (game)#Luigi Bros.|old redirect]] to the subsection within the [[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]] article still exists. Additionally, the new article is exactly the same as the subsection save for the addition of a 'Names in other languages'. I made a [[User:Pizza Master/sandbox|sandbox page]] 8 months ago showing that Baby Fat/Fat Yoshi could easily have an article that contains more information than the ''Luigi Bros.'' page. And like the ''Luigi Bros.'' situation, the [[Baby Yoshi#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|old redirect]] for the Baby Fat subsection of the Baby Yoshi article wouldn't have to be deleted or replaced either. Simply creating a new article and new redirect to the new article like with what happened with ''Luigi Bros.'' would suffice. Baby Fat like Luigi Bros. is clearly different enough from what they're based on to have their own article. | |||

===Support (Split entire character into its own article)=== | |||
#{{User|Pizza Master}} Per my proposal. | |||
#{{User|DrippingYellow}} The fat Yoshi seems like a single, uniquely named character. I feel like it makes sense to include the entire life cycle in the article even if its baby form is "generic". | |||
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} BEEEEEEEEG! ...ahem... Per all. Beeg is its own character. | |||
#{{User|MegaBowser64}} BABY FAT is too good of a name not to have an article for. Per all!! | |||
#{{User|PnnyCrygr}} Justice! For! Bay! Bee! FAT!!! per all | |||
#{{User|Arend}} Now THIS is a meme that warrants its own article (since it's an actual character and all). I also agree with DrippingYellow that it'd be kinda weird to not include its baby self when it's the same character that only appeared in one game, it'd feel incomplete in this very specific case. | |||
#{{User|EvieMaybe}} has a name, a distinct appearance, and plays a role. that's a character baby | |||
#{{User|SolemnStormcloud}} <s>[[MarioWiki:BJAODN/Enemies#Galoomba|Fat Yoshi is '''infinitely''' better than Pink Donkey Kong Jr. and if you disagree you are wrong.]]</s> Per proposal. | |||
===Support (Split the grown version of the fat Yoshi into its own article)=== | |||
#{{User|Pizza Master}} Doc's idea is pretty good. | |||
#[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) - I mean, it's odd to put a clearly grown Yoshi on this page anyway. | |||
===Oppose (Keep as is as a subsection of the Baby Yoshi article)=== | |||
===Comments=== | |||
Does literally anything other than one specific old magazine give this guy a unique name? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:30, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
A japanese trading card calls them 'Chubby Yoshi' or 'Fat Yoshi'. ''Super Mario RPG: A Gift from the Starry Sky'' calls them Former Baby Yoshi. The name 'Baby Fat' is also used in an official player's guide. Also, though this is joking, the UK Nintendo Magazine System calls them 'Noshi'. So the article could go under any of those names. But Baby Fat or Fat Yoshi would fit best.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 17:40, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
:Hmm. I can see splitting the (grown) fat Yoshi from this page, but not the generic baby that it starts out as. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:55, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
Should I add splitting the grown fat yoshi as a proposal option?--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 18:01, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
Whichever way the proposal passes, I think "Baby Fat" is the only usable English-source name. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:04, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
Good point! It can stick as 'Baby Fat' regardless of if the proposal passes and however it does (if it does).--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 19:55, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
Could you clarify a bit with the two support options? One is called "Split entire character into its own article", and the other is "Split the grown version of the fat Yoshi into its own article". What, does that mean if the second Support option wins, that the infant version (you know, the version of this character that is actually named) has to remain on the Baby Yoshi page, when it's clearly the same character as the (more memetic) adult version? {{User:Arend/sig}} 22:46, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
:Well Baby Yoshi is already a separate page from standard Yoshi, even though in some games both are shown as the same character as well. And that's not even getting into Baby Mario and friends... Plus, he's only fat when he's not a baby, and is only a baby when he's not fat, so the name isn't great for either option. I just feel it makes the most sense to keep the generic Baby Yoshi on the Baby Yoshi page. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:14, April 26, 2024 (EDT) | |||
Well, it's like Doc said and since the adult version is also called 'Former Baby Yoshi' then presumably the other names for the character like Fat Yoshi and Baby Fat would be for the adult version. Baby Fat just refers to excess fat which refers to how the adult version is well.. full of excess fat and the baby version becoming that way when they grow up into the adult version by the player feeding them too many cookies. It's also like how Adult Link and Young Link are seen as different characters despite being variations of the same character. --{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 01:15, April 27, 2024 (EDT) | |||
So basically support (entire character) is for both versions being split into the same article or you can vote support (grown fat yoshi) for just the adult version being split into its own article.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 01:18, April 27, 2024 (EDT) | |||
