The articles [[5 Gold Coin]] and [[50 Gold Coin]] are stubs, and they always will. There's nothing to say about them; they're just coins with a different value. The article [[Coin]] already covers different types of coins which do not deserve their own articles. I'm not sure this even needs a TPP, frankly | The articles [[5 Gold Coin]] and [[50 Gold Coin]] are stubs, and they always will.

#{{User|Time Turner}} Stubs are not short articles. Stubs are articles that are lacking in information. The items have different values than a regular coin, and are distinguished with unique appearances and names. By all means, they should have individual articles. This proposal also fails to account for [[10 Gold Coin]], [[20 Blue Coin]], [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|the WL4 Coin]], [[Large Coin]], and [[Giant Coin]]. | #{{User|Time Turner}} Stubs are not short articles.

#{{User|Walkazo}} - Per Time Turner. Better to have many small articles for many different things (officially named or otherwise) rather than only having the info in one conglomerated page, which is harder to pick relevant details out of, more awkward to deal with for navigation, and which may not net as much search traffic. | #{{User|Walkazo}} - Per Time Turner.

Fair enough. Are the names even official? Some of them are tagged as conjectural, and none of them include references. I might have to change my proposal to include those articles, but I don't see the point of: | Fair enough. Are the names even official?

*[[Coin (Wario Land 4)]]. The talk page mentions an organization by game is more efficient, but as far as I know that's the only case. The coins do not act differently in WL4. It was apparently supposed to prevent "making an article for all the different types of Coin name", which happened anyway. | *[[Coin (Wario Land 4)]].

* [[Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS)]]. If the Mario Kart coins, which have a different effect than regular coins, are covered in the [[Coin]] article, then these should too. | * [[Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS)]].

::The main point is that all of those coins have different values, different from the rest, with different appearances, and that's what warrants their different articles. Besides that, though, why? As far as I can tell, the Coin article doesn't have any other coins nested inside, instead preferring to briefly mention them while linking to their main article. I don't think it'd be particularly neater to nest all of the information and images from the several Coins you'd like to merge in the various subsections instead of one-off articles. On that note, is there anything wrong with having them be separate articles? There isn't a standard for merging articles like these, so the argument can't rest on that. Don't fix what isn't broken. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} | ::The main point is that all of those coins have different values, different from the rest, with different appearances, and that's what warrants their different articles.
