With every other Assist Trophy character page being turned into a redirect, is there a reason this wasn't? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:42, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
:I assume because of the ''Mario Maker'' costume... but considering we don't give individual pages to any of the other costumes, I don't think that's enough to justify this. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:44, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
::Well, we don't have a page for [[Tingle]]. But we do have a page on [[Dr. Kawashima]], so...
::I see we're still working out the kinks here. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:48, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
:::It's not even her own costume though, it's a Wolf Link costume. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:53, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
::::My stance is don't keep. Her relevance in the Mario series is tied strictly to her arguably cameo amiibo appearance, which is hardly enough for a standalone article. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 20:02, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
:::::Since we don’t have articles for characters who have only appeared as costumes, and Midna just has a cameo on Wolf Link's costume, rather than having her own, I feel this article isn’t necessary to keep. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 20:35, 26 October 2018 (EDT)

-::::::Same with [[Dr. Kawashima]] (and any else I don't know about)? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:53, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
-:::::::Perhaps [[Starfy]] as well. I was thinking about also bringing up [[Barbara]] as an example, but I'd say that the webcomic is just enough to justify a separate article (see: [[Ashley's Creepy Crew]]). {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 01:01, 27 October 2018 (EDT)
-::::::::Starfy and Barbara we can keep because of their other involvements. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:18, 27 October 2018 (EDT)
-:What other involvements for Starfy, though? Beyond Smash, his only appearances are in Densetsu no Stafry (which the wiki classifies as a guest appearance, therefore it doesn't count for anything) and ''technically'' Super Princess Peach (but all that information is covered under [[Starfish]], and it seems a lot more like this generic enemy is a nod to Starfy rather than those two literally being one and the same, therefore it doesn't count). {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 15:21, 27 October 2018 (EDT)
-::Oof, you're right about that. The [[List of references_in_Nintendo_video_games#The_Legendary_Starfy_series|list of Mario references in video games]] and [[List of references_in_publications#Densetsu_no_Stafy_.28Yumiko_Sud.C5.8D.29|manga publications]] covers the ''Densetsu no Starfy'' series just fine, and with more images. So, yeah, we can remove Starfy, too, unless Wario counts as a crossover. Would Barbara count as a crossover, too? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:28, 27 October 2018 (EDT)
-:::Well, Densetsu no Starfy 3 was [[Talk:List of references_in_video_games#Split_Densetsu_no_Stafy_3_from_Video_game_references|split by proposal]] into a separate article (although IIRC that was before guest appearances was an actual concept, it's been since [[MarioWiki:Coverage#Guest_appearances|grandfathered into one]]). So that means the game itself gets a page, but not any of the game-exclusive stuff inside. Either way, same result, Starfy gets merged away. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 15:51, 27 October 2018 (EDT)
