I'm curious as to why this page exists. For one thing, the information is actually incorrect. What this page calls the [[metroidwiki:Power Suit|Power Suit]] is actually Samus's [[metroidwiki:Varia Suit|Varia Suit]]. The Power Suit lacks the shoulder pads and is more yellow in color, whereas the Varia Suit is orange and has different properties. Sure, the information for [[Power Suit Samus]] calls her suit in ''Super Smash Bros.'' the "Power Suit", but that itself is incorrect.

Another point is that it doesn't seem to have any purpose for either the ''Mario'' series or the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The only time the Power/Varia Suit needs to be mentioned is during [[Zero Laser]]'s ''Brawl'' information about how it falls apart. And there doesn't appear to be enough information for this to have its own page on the Mario Wiki, with the only meaningful information it has is "It falls apart during Samus's Final Smash". It's better suited (pun) to be on Zero Laser's page.

So I'm proposing either we get this information correct and call it the [[Varia Suit]] (which is currently a redirect to the incorrectly named page), or merge this information with Zero Laser and delete this page entirely (or turn it into a redirect for Zero Laser).

#{{User|Luigi 64DD}} Article is too small and the information can be satisfactorily be given on the Zero Laser page.

#{{User|Magikrazy}} I don't think this topic warrants a dedicated article. What can you say about it that couldn't fit in Zero Laser's page, especially when that's really the only relevance Power Suit has to Mario? I'm definitely with Luigi 64DD on this one.

#{{User|SmokedChili}} I personally see no reason for either action. I think it's better that we make some mention about Samus' Power Suit having the colors of Varia Suit for her default palette.

#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} I originally voted to delete the page, but I changed my mind because the SmashWiki has a similar page, though it is called "Power Suit Piece".
#{{User|Wildgoosespeeder}} I already have opposition covering a lot of things in [[Super Smash Bros. (series)]] that aren't Mario-related on MarioWiki. No need to adopt the term from [[MetroidWiki:Varia Suit|Metroid Wiki]].

Expanding on my vote above, this proposal doesn't seem to take the color swaps into consideration. Gravity Suit palette is still called Power Suit, Fusion Suit palette is also called Power Suit etc. "Power Suit" used here seems more like the catch-all term for the attack and item pieces to me.

:The point I'm trying to make here is that the overall suit being called the "Power Suit" is incorrect. In ''Smash'', Samus wears her Varia Suit. Sure, we can mention that Samus's alts are the colors of other suits, but this came to be a big misunderstanding due to ''Brawl'' calling the Final Smash by the wrong name. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:48, 5 March 2017 (EST)
::Calling it generally Power Suit when Varia Suit is on is actually a thing in the ''Metroid'' series. In ''Fusion'' when Samus monologues about the X Parasite infecting her in the prologue, and in ''Zero Mission'' when Samus gets the "fully powered Power Suit". I thus fail to see how it would be wrong. [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 14:06, 5 March 2017 (EST)
I don't understand why this should have it's own page when it already says the information about its ability to be thrown on the Zero Laser page. While Alex95 suggested moving said information to Zero Laser, if you look on the article, it has all the information that's on the Power Suit page except for "The Power Suit is one of Samus Aran's suits from the Metroid series," which doesn't seem to be necessary information.<br>{{User:Luigi 64DD/sig}} 16:16, 6 March 2017 (EST)
I'd like to bring up that while there is some reasoning in that the Power Suit pieces can become items, I still don't think this is enough to warrant a separate page. Is there any real reason a single sentence explaining that the Power Suit pieces can become items won't belong on Zero Laser's page? Should I start writing up articles on Wario Bike wheels and R.O.B.'s Gyros? [[User:Magikrazy|Magikrazy]] ([[User talk:Magikrazy|talk]]) 13:21, 24 March 2017 (EDT)
'''@Wildgoosespeeder''' If you "have opposition covering a lot of things in Super Smash Bros. (series) that aren't Mario-related on MarioWiki", why are you voting to keep the article? In my mind, giving this its own article is already over-coverage of the Smash Bros. series.<br>{{User:Luigi 64DD/sig}} 15:04, 7 April 2017 (EDT)

Well, this again. With our adjustments to our ''Smash Bros.'' coverage, and [[Talk:Cardboard_Box#Delete_this_page|one other proposal doing the same thing]], I think it's time to revisit this. Unlike last time, the only option is deletion here. If successful, any information not already on [[Samus Aran]]'s and [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s pages will go there if it can fit.

#{{User|Alex95}} - I still think this should be called Varia Suit, but that point's irrelevant here.
#{{User|Waluigi Time}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} Yeah, the reason the original proposal failed was because we had yet to limit our coverage. Now that it ''is'' limited...
#{{User|BBQ Turtle}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} Per proposal and per last proposal.
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} As I understand it, the Varia/Barrier Suit isn't really a physically separate suit so much as an upgrade item, so describing it as the Power Suit is still technically correct... But yeah. Bar Var.
#{{User|Superbound}} Per all
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
#{{User|DarkNight}} Per all.
#{{User|Keyblade Master}} Per all.
#{{User|MarioManiac1981}} Per all. I don't see why this should still be here.
