Did this need to be one huge proposal? The fact that there are ''seven'' options as well as an "Other" option (which, how would that even work if it got the most votes?) suggests to me that the ''Mario Bros.'' movie live-action subjects have far too much range in how close they are to their OG counterparts for this to be resolved in one seven-day proposal. For instance, I mostly agree with the fifth option, except for the inclusion of the [[King (film character)|King]] among the merged characters (considering that unlike the [[Mushroom King]], he is neither the king of the Mushroom Kingdom nor [[Princess Peach|Peach's]] father (he's ''[[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy's]]'' father)).<br>If we were to add options for every little disagreement with the proposal author's reasoning in this particular instance, it would become a nightmare to try and find an appropriate option to vote on. I'd suggest splitting the proposal based on character roles (e.g. one for main characters, one for minor characters like Yoshi, one for creatures like Goombas, and one for references-in-name-only like [[Toad (film character)|Toad]], [[Big Bertha (film character)|Big Bertha]], etc.) [[User:DrippingYellow|DrippingYellow]] ([[User talk:DrippingYellow|talk]]) 13:36, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

:I would argue that range from source material isn't much of a factor in so much as they're variants of a source character and my understanding is that we do sometimes merge whack variants of the same entity, such as Skeeters. I'd go for the straightforward option because I don't see much merit debating within gradience of who gets a separate article or not. {{User:Mario/sig}} 13:56, April 5, 2024 (EDT)
