There's tons of content with questionable notoriety in this page. It's particularly egregious with the YouTube section with tons of channels that I don't really think should be listed on this wiki. I do agree that certain content should be limited on this page, including the aforementioned above section of adult sexual content. {{User:Mario/sig}} 19:56, December 26, 2024 (EST)

:We're probably better off limiting it to stuff that Nintendo acknowledged. As I said above, anyone can put things on the Internet and gain some level of notoriety with their uploads, but that doesn't make it inherently coverage-worthy here. Limit page to the PETA fiasco, the memes Nintendo referenced or made statements on, and whatever else of this kind. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 20:00, December 26, 2024 (EST)

#{{user|Koopa con Carne}} The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is substantial enough (isn't it comparable to the fan involvement around the original Doom games? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert), and this pannenkoeken original is notable within that community. One person tied to the meme, TJ "Henry" Yoshi, who is mentioned in this page, gained 10K+ follows on Twitter literally just because they made a funny comment on pannenkoeken's original video. I'm specifically mentioning this because it's a way to quantify the meme's popularity, even if it's more a by-product of it.
#{{User|Hewer}} Per KCC, and I don't really agree with the "this is actually multiple memes" argument. They all come from the same video, I'd consider the video as a whole to be the singular meme that the rest are just parts of.
#{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - [https://youtu.be/wWpZI__1Vrc?t=1332 Even Stryder referenced it.]
#{{user|OmegaRuby}} Per KCC and Hewer. SM64's speedrunning community is a monumental pillar to the Mario community as a whole and this really seems like one of the only substantial references to it in this Wiki other than our NIWA partnership with [https://ukikipedia.net/wiki/Main_Page Ukikipedia.]

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} '''Begrudgingly.''' While Nintendo has stated they won't acknowledgement beyond stating they have no comment, this has had an undeniable spread across the internet, and it . Maybe in a few years, when this meme has faded into obscurity, it would be fine to remove it a-la our redirect for "[[Fury Bowser|God Slayer Bowser]]"?

#[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) - I don't really buy the whole "official acknowledgement" thing since we don't do it for anything else on these reference pages (and besides, Martinet clarifying what he said that one time counts as a sort of acknowledgement of the fact people can't understand what he's saying).

::Hewer is right. This page and most other lists of references in certain media are a special group of mainspace pages on this wiki. Whereas it's true that most articles here strive for minimal coverage of involvement from non-official actors (one example I can think of reception section on game articles), this special group of pages pretty much operates on their own rules, focusing more on notability than Nintendo's acknowledgement. Now, I think these pages are definitely useful on a resource about Mario, but we can argue how much of their breadth is excessive, and it's true that this page in particular is susceptible to excessive coverage, because virtually anyone can post something on the internet and gain some traction for their work. How notable is notable enough? I think this proposal is a great start to improve the utility of the page. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 11:55, March 1, 2025 (EST)

I don't understand why this section is as large as it is. We don't mention "List of references in popular fanart" or "List of references in blog posts" so why should funny user-generated memes get coverage? The section should be limited to ones acknowledged or referenced by Nintendo. However, I ''do'' support expanding the use of Legacy sections in articles to cover some aspects of popular memes and internet culture in general. Pannenkoek's (and others') accomplishments should be worthy of mention, and that includes their memes, for example. {{User:LadySophie17/sig}} 10:03, March 1, 2025 (EST)

Honestly, I don't like the current criteria of memes having to be "Confirmed" on Know Your Meme. People seem to want to restrict this section to just memes that have been officially acknowledged in some way, and this criteria doesn't mesh with it. For example, the [https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/760438-miiverse MARIO WiiU Miiverse meme] doesn't have its own KYM page despite seemingly being [https://x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1288534863323201536 acknowledged by Nintendo of America]. {{User:Dive Rocket Launcher/sig}} 16:17, March 2, 2025 (EST)
:Oh yeah, that was also referenced on [[SMBPlumbing.com]]. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 17:41, March 2, 2025 (EST)
:We don't know if it was clear from our original proposal, but we disagree heavily with the requirement for KYM coverage, and it would probably be one of our first changes in a part 2 proposal; honestly, part of this was to see how people felt about that, and so it's nice to see we haven't been entirely off-base with the idea that "maybe not every KYM entry is a relevant Mario meme, and maybe not every relevant Mario meme is a KYM entry". Hinging what can be included on this article on what falls into the coverage for a private, corporately-owned wiki, with private, corporate interests does ''not'' sit well with us, and results in a lot of missed spots; as it stands, we have to entirely omit the "Nice water" reference in particular, just because it's not acknowledged on a Wiki that is too busy making articles for... ''the things it does,'' for lack of a non-mature rated way of putting it, to allow for any actual proper open editing mechanisms.
