::According to Time Turning ([[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 38#Delete the Mario Party Advance character pages|here]]), they get articles cause "they're found in unique circumstances, interact with the player in a unique manner compared to other games, have unique dialogue, give unique items and quests..." In a sense, I understand that, but at the same time I feel like there are plenty of characters who meet these requirements. Many of the characters in Mario Super Sluggers have unique personalities, outright challenge the player to missions, a few give quests to the player. I'm not fully sure, but do we have a real way of determining which generic characters get articles? I mean characters from most RPGs are exceptions for their more unique designs, actual names and such, but what of the characters who differ very little from their parent species? {{User:Tails777/sig}}23:09, 23 June 2016 (EDT) | ::According to Time Turning ([[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 38#Delete the Mario Party Advance character pages|here]]), they get articles cause "they're found in unique circumstances, interact with the player in a unique manner compared to other games, have unique dialogue, give unique items and quests..."

:::I think for characters that differ very little from their parent species, we just assume they're a member of that species and list information about them in the parent species article. Of course, [[Goombob]], [[Goombetty]], and [[Akiki]] will still keep their own pages, but for the other members, I think they should be remerged. The logic that Time Turner gives can be applied to pretty much anything with a dialogue and a role, including the Wiggler giving out hootenannies in Mario Party 3, the Lakitu in Mario Kart 7, the Bob-omb host for Mario Party 4's duels, the Para-Beetle in [[Super Mario Momotarō]], and a lot of characters in Mario Super Sluggers. Keeping their articles because Goombob, Goombetty, and Akiki have their articles doesn't seem like a great justification for me. There also raises the question for articles like [[Yoshi]], [[Toad]], [[Boom Boom]], and maybe even [[Fry Guy]] but whole confusion about the identities of characters named after their species is a tricky question and frequent contentious issue in this wiki. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:49, 24 June 2016 (EDT) | |||
