Category talk:Super Mario World episodes featuring Mario

Point

What even is this list? There were so little episodes as it is, and he didn't appear in maybe one of them? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:41, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

We can probably delete it as per the same reasons as Mouser's similar page was deleted. To be honest, I don't think any of these types of lists should exist, as every main character appears in a majority of them. And who even uses these pages anyway? 20:45, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

Delete or rename this page

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit any of the sections in the proposal. If you wish to discuss the article, do so in a new header below the proposal.

Do nothing or rewrite 4-1-5
Pretty self-explanatory, this list doesn't even talk about Mario's roles in the episodes, it's just an overview of the series itself. And unlike List of enemies and List of Allies, there's not much chance of people using this list. Yes, this is one of those "this exists?" pages.

EDIT: Adding a "move to 'List of Super Mario World episodes'" option

Proposer: Doc von Schmeltwick (talk)
Deadline: November 15, 2017, 23:59 (GMT)

Delete

1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) Per proposal.
2. Niiue (talk) Per proposal.
3. Ultimate Mr. L (talk) ^ "This page exists?" Couldn't have said it better myself. (Though I'd add an exclamation point !)
4. Alex95 (talk) - Per proposal and my thoughts in the previous section above.

#LinkTheLefty (talk) We've deleted the List of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episodes featuring Mouser, and I'm not sure what's the point of similar articles.

Move/rename to "List of Super Mario World episodes"

1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) Suppose this is valid as well.

Do nothing, perhaps rewrite

1. Time Turner (talk) I do think that there's value in separating these pages from their original articles, so long as they're written to properly serve their purpose. Per Glowsquid.
2. Glowsquid (talk) See below!
3. Baby Luigi (talk) Per all.
4. MrConcreteDonkey (talk) - Per all.
5. TheFlameChomp (talk) Per all.

Comments

This page seems to have been created from this proposal. It's listed as yellow in the archive, but I can't tell what proposal overruled it. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 16:23, 2 November 2017 (EDT)

All these "episodes featuring [character]" have dumb names that obscure their sensible purpose: allow plot summaries for individual episodes a major character appear in without bloating up their already large size. The "List of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episodes featuring Mouser" was pointless because Mouser the character doesn't appear in anything else: however, having individual pages to describe Mario or Donkey Kong's roles in individual episodes of their cartoon makes sense, even if the page as it is now isn't very well written. --Glowsquid (talk) 00:07, 3 November 2017 (EDT)

Suppose it's too late to add a "rewrite" option? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:21, 5 November 2017 (EST)

Nope, it's been less than six days since the start of the proposal. "Do nothing" technically works too; there's nothing saying that the page can't be rewritten afterwards. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 16:39, 5 November 2017 (EST)

Ah, I had thought the rule was three. Got confused. That's why I asked :P Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:52, 5 November 2017 (EST)

It used to be three, but there was a recent proposal to double that. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 16:54, 5 November 2017 (EST)

Delete?? (2)

Despite the previous proposal I still think that this page, along with the Mario page for TAOSMB3 and the Hip page, should not exist. All of them are about the episodes in general and not the character. This page also has horrendous grammar and spelling as well. If there is enough people to go against my opinion, then shouldn’t there a page like this for every character? Grandet Omate 23:38, November 01, 2020 (EDT)

The "point" of this page seems to be it having been split from the show sections of Mario's own page (like what is on Mouser's page). Whether that'd warrant that info really going to a Mario-centric page in general is a different matter entirely, though. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:41, November 1, 2020 (EST)

Interesting. I think a counterproposal would most likely be needed, if there's enouh consensus. I'd say, it isn't really needed, as Mouser's got merged. -- FanOfYoshi 12:29, November 2, 2020 (EST)

It is needed because my proposal above failed. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:05, November 2, 2020 (EST)

The point of this page (and others like it) is to document the character's individual role in each episode without creating overly long sections on their main pages. While this article is currently poorly written and not fulfilling its purpose, that doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be deleted rather than rewritten. -- Too Bad!
