Another generic subject; I seriously could not have made myself any clearer. It could be a disambiguation page, though I'd like to see some comments on this.

#{{user|Time Turner}} An elephant appears as an obtainable item in ''Mario is Missing''. That alone makes it of note.
===Do nothing===
#{{user|Time Turner}} An elephant appears as an obtainable item in ''Mario is Missing''. That alone makes it of note. Until I know what will change about the article, my vote remains as it is.
#{{User|Niiue}} I'd support repurposing this to be about the ''Mario is Missing'' item specifically, but considering how vague this proposal is, I'm gonna have to oppose for now.

#{{User|Ultimate Mr. L}} Originally supported, but realized how vague the proposal is. So until it is expanded, I'm sorry. Per Niiue.
#{{User|Chester Alan Arthur}} per all this proposal is to vague to pass.
#{{User|Chester Alan Arthur}} per all this proposal is to vague to pass.
#{{User|Lcrossmk8}} How in the world is this thing generic by any means? I think we have got enough coverage on this thing, and it does make notable appearances in the ''Mario'' series. This proposal is too vague on what is generic and what is not. Is it the lack of information or is it the fact that there is not enough information on it to make for a good article? I don't know.
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Per all, especially Turner.
#{{User|LuigiMaster123}} - Proposal is way too short, therefore, I say do nothing.

My problem with the previous proposal was twofold: the item in ''Mario is Missing!'' existed, and the proposer didn't adequately explain what would happen to the article should the "clean up" option pass. Now that the ''MiM'' information has been separated into [[Baby Elephant]], the decision becomes a lot easier for me: this page should be deleted entirely. Every section covers a subject that is either far too generic and unimportant (including ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', and ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', the latter of these being backed up by the deletion of [[Talk:Giraffe#Delete_this_page|Giraffe]]), or is better detailed in an individual article (including Baby Elephant, [[Ellie the Elephant]], and [[Mona's Elephant]]). If you want a list of every elephant, [[:Category:Elephants|that's why we have categories]]. Nothing of value would be lost if this page was deleted.

#{{User|Time Turner}} Per proposal.
#{{User|BBQ Turtle}} The article doesn't seem to contain much other than brief appearances or links to other elephant articles, so I don't think anything of importance would be lost, per proposal.
#{{User|Alex95}} - Per all and my previous vote.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
#{{User|YoshiFlutterJump}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} I don't know '''''what''''' I was inhaling when I made that proposal. But Time Turner's current suggestion sounds reasonable; maybe turn this into a disambiguation page, like we did with [[Parrot]]. Otherwise, per all.
#{{User|Ultimate Mr. L}} Per all and my previous vote.
#{{User|LuigiMaster123}} Per all.
===Oppose===
#{{user|astro-Lanceur}} it appears as a item in Mario is missing. so um, yeah.
===Comments===
When this passes, be sure to move {{fake link|Elephant (enemy)}} here. As for Toadette, that tends to happen when you eat the [[Vacuum Shroom]] :P. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:25, 23 January 2018 (EST)
:i Want a Vacuum Shroom. You Bloody Got One Doc? [[User:LUIGIRULES71|LUIGIRULES71]]
@'''Astro-Lanceur''': The ''Mario is Missing!'' item is covered on a [[Baby Elephant|separate article]], so I don't feel it should make it necessary to keep this article. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 19:40, 23 January 2018 (EST)
:Per. My first point is literally about that exact item. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:01, 23 January 2018 (EST)
