Talk:N64 Toad's Turnpike

Toad City

The Super Bell Subway track added much more information about Toad City, should these be referenced here or maybe it's better to create a page dedicated to Toad City now that we have a wealth of information about it?--Mister Wu (talk)
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mister Wu (talk).

If you we're to make a page about Toad City, my suggestion to you is make a proposal about it.

I don't think Toad City is important enough to have its own page. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 02:27, 10 June 2015 (EDT)

That would be what the proposal's for. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

But can proposals be made for this discussion? I think point 15 is about not having proposals to create new pages.--Mister Wu (talk) 11:13, 10 June 2015 (EDT)

You have your disagreement in the form of Mario up there. You can create your proposal. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Oh, please, Time Turner. *blush* Rule 15 simply means that, in general, you shouldn't be creating pages if there is a consensus. Note the "unless there is major disagreement" (which is me) part; if there is a disagreement, you can attempt a proposal and see how that goes, but I preferably rather have a discussion. No way is wrong, just a preference. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:46, 10 June 2015 (EDT)

Although before the 2nd DLC pack of Mario Kart 8 there wasn't much information about Toad City and that city only seemed to host 3 tracks (N64 Toad's Turnpike, Toad Harbor and N64 Rainbow Road), in Super Bell Subway three important maps were found: one is a map of Toad City with the important places highlighted, the other is an outline of the orange line and the third is an outline of all three railway lines. These maps revealed that the city hosts Super Bell Subway and is near Wii Moo Moo Meadows (there is also a reference to Wii Wario's Gold Mine, although in that case it could be that the headquarters of the company running it are found in the city). The railway map also reveals that the city is connected to other tracks as well and finally, it has been found that the headquarters of many companies in Mario Kart 8 are found there. If we consider all this information, along with screenshots of two of the maps (the orange line map is not useful , as its information is fully contained in the railway map) and of the City from N64 Toad's Turnpike, Toad Harbor and N64 Rainbow Road, an entire page could possibly be made.

Support

1. Mister Wu (talk) Because of the reasons cited above

Oppose

1. LudwigVon (talk) I don't know why we need to create a page about a location that we didn't even see somehow. I also think that the city your talking about is maybe not name Toad City (citation need). There's not a lots of materials that exist about this location. Also per Bazooka Mario's comment. I also have a option for you, you could talk about this city (if it's not speculations) on the List of implied locations.
2. SuperYoshiBros (talk) It's nothing more than something in the background, so I see no reason why it deserves an article.
3. Pyro Guy (talk) There may be too much speculation regarding this, with the entire location being a background element. Per LudwigVon.

Create a Disambiguation Page

1. Lumastar (talk) Per my idea below. We can still add the maps to this page. Heck, we can even link to tracks and locations mentioned in ads around the course.
2. PowerKamek (talk) That sounds like a good idea! Per Lumastar!

Comments

I don't see how well this article will hold up based on just signs in several tracks. If my analogy is flawed, then tell me, but we don't create articles on sponsors simply because they appear in several tracks. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:00, 10 June 2015 (EDT)

The main linking part is Toad Harbor: it is associated to Toad City in this article and is present in the map as well. If you need it, I have a screenshot of the map that you can compare to the city of N64 Rainbow Road. Their layout match. If you have evidence that the city in the map is not Toad City, however, I will agree that the article must not be changed at all. Edit: The screenshot is this, you can compare it to the city under N64 Rainbow Road here. --Mister Wu (talk) 22:11, 10 June 2015 (EDT)

Regarding the analogy, we have much more information than just signs about a single company, because that city has elements that can be seen from more than one track (the tower, the statue of Peach, the railways), it is also connecting many tracks together and has even connections to almost all of the aforementioned signs. This would not be an article about Ludwig Painting, it would be about Ludwig Painting and many other companies, plus some notable features of the city and the tracks it connects, so while I understand your point, I don't know if the scale is really the same as that of a single company. I would rather think about Rogueport in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door to make a comparison.--Mister Wu (talk) 22:24, 10 June 2015 (EDT)

Wait, I have an idea. What if we make a disambiguation page that tells a little bit about the city at the top and links to all areas that take place in or around the city? Lumastar (talk) 16:31, 11 June 2015

That sounds like a good idea!
