Ninji

Support

1. Killer Moth (talk) It is a well written page without that does a good job at covering the character. It goes over its different appearances all the way up to most recently Mario Golf: Super Rush and gives good detail on its overall role and impact in the games. Whether it is an enemy or an npc. It doesn't contain any broken links, isn't tagged with any improvement tags, and has a good number of quality images.

Oppose

1. Wikiboy10 (talk) The article lacks screenshots for the Super Mario Maker 2 section; it has the sprite but not the in-game level or even the Super World screenshots. It also lacks a screenshot for the Super Mario World cartoon. It also lacks screenshots for the Mario vs. Donkey Kong enemy. There are also no screenshots for Mario Party Advance. They do cover outside subjects, but Ninji is the parent species here. The trivia could also go into the main article. Even if people ironed out those flaws, this article is a bit too short as is.
2. Swallow (talk) My reasoning may be more relevant for Paper Mario: The Origami King bestiary, but this is still something displayed on the Ninji page, and something I took into consideration back when I nominated King Olly's page for FA status; the enemy statboxes for that game still have question marks instead of actual attack values (more so for the Shangri Spa version). One other thing that gripes me a bit is having the Paper Mario sprite alongside the Super Mario Bros. 2 sprites in the latter game's section, with the Paper Mario sprite showing up again for that game's section. I tried to do something about this, but it turns out the three sprites in the SMB2 section is actually one image.

The latter part of your reasoning looks more fan-based rather than focused on the article quality. That kind of reasoning is invalid. Nightwicked Bowser 20:51, September 10, 2022 (EDT)

Ok I removed the fan-based part of my reasoning to focus more on the article's quality. Killer Moth 20:05 September 10, 2022 (MTN)

I know this isn't directly part of the same article but I think it'll be beneficial if we could get more screenshots for this character in the gallery such as Mario Golf Super Rush screenshot. Also I notice a "After a long absence", would be helpful to establish a timeframe. Absence since what game? Going to look over the writing, though I saw some weird writing like "Mario can jump on their harmless head" It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 23:07, September 20, 2022 (EDT)

Thank you for the comment. I will look over the article again to see if I can find anymore questionable writing like the examples that you brought up. I will also upload some Mario Golf: Super Rush photos for the image gallery --Killer Moth (talk) 11:14, September 21, 2022 (EDT)
