I just want to say that I believe that the Dry Bowser article has information that is not in the Bowser article.  The Shadow Mario artilce has information that is not in the Bowser Jr. article.  The Dr. Mario article has information that is not in the Mario article.  The Mr. L article has no information that isn't in the Luigi article.  {{User|White Knight}}

<span style="color:green;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:150%">MERGE PALKIA, DIALGA AND CRESSELIA INTO POKÉMON 7-4-1</span>
After a previous proposal of mine that was proposed to create the Raikou and Suicune article, I had taken a look at one of the user's votes and it said that they should be merged. Afterwards, I looked at Pokemon articles, and the ones I found where [[Palkia]], [[Dialga]], [[Cresselia]], and [[Entei]] (I am not sure if there is any left). While making a bigger appearance than a Pokemon in a [[Poke Ball]], it's quite best to have those four articles merged with the [[Pokemon]] article. As from what I'm seeing, Entei should stay, though, as he can be played on as a stage. So, shall we merge all four articles, merge Palkia, Dialga, and Cresselia, or don't merge at all?

====Merge All in Pokemon Article====
#{{User|Shrikeswind}} - In all honesty, I don't like the idea of Pokemon taking up a butt-load of space on a wiki dedicated to the Super Mario franchise.  In the cases of Ivysaur, Charizard, Squirtle, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Pichu, Lucario, and Pokemon Trainer, I say they should be split off due to their playability, but all other Pokemon just don't deserve a seperate page because they aren't all playable in a game alongside the Mario characters.  Even playing ON Entei isn't worth a page dedicated to him.  You might as well mention his stage on the Pokemon page, because it's such a miniscule amount of information to say "He appears as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee."
#{{User|The Dark Doggy 2}} - Per Shrikeswind, this is ''Mario'' Wiki  not ''Nintendo'' Wiki.
#{{user|Blitzwing}} - Per Shrikeswind.
#{{user|InfectedShroom}} - Per Blitz.
====Merge Palkia, Dialga, and Cresselia====
#{{User|Palkia47}} - Personally, this is what I see is best. My proposal, so per me.
#{{User|Pikax}} - Palkia, Dialga and Cresselia are all pokemon that make appearances on the Spear Pillar stage in SSBB. This sets them apart from all the other pokemon but not from each other, so this is the best option.
#{{User|Luigi001}} Yea, per all. But how does merging these into the Pokemon article make this a "Nintendo Wiki?" Quite frankly, merging them makes us '''less''' of a so called Nintendo Wiki than we already are.
#{{User|The Gravitator}} Per Palkia. I personally think that Dialga, Palkia, and Cresselia should be merged with the Spear Pillar article.
#{{User|Hemu}} per Pal theese are all Spear pillar pokemon.
#{{User|Stooben Rooben}} - Per Palkia47.
#{{User|Stumpers}} - I'm voting here rather than above simply because I don't know what we'd do with the Majora's Mask article if we rule that Entei (a stage) doesn't deserve an article.
====Keep Split====
#They are stage elements affecting gameplay, the policy around here is to give stage elements an article. {{User|Daniel Webster}} 20:08, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
====Comments====
Once again, may somebody add the deadline for me? I'm not well with it. {{User|Palkia47}}
:Thanks, Time Q. {{User|Palkia47}}
Not sure where to vote on this exactly, but here's where I stand:
*All of the playable Pokemon and PT qualify for their own pages.
*The Entei '''stage''' can have an article, provided it talks more about the stage itself than Entei as a Pokemon.
*All Poke Ball/Saffron City/Spear Pillar Pokemon should be merged, though. Stage-specific Pokemon could perhaps get descriptions in their stage articles though. -- [[User: Booster|Booster]]
::I agree with Booster. For the stage-specific Pokémon, what they do on the stages should be included in the stage's article; everything else should be in the [[Pokemon|main list of Pokémon]] only. - {{User|Walkazo}}
