I'm not sure how something this generic deserves to have its own article. It's just a cursor, nothing more. Shall we delete it? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:23, 3 December 2018 (EST) | I'm not sure how something this generic deserves to have its own article. It's just a cursor, nothing more.

Given the content on this page, it would normally qualify as a [[MarioWiki:Generic subjects|generic subject]], and should therefore be deleted. | Given the content on this page, it would normally qualify as a [[MarioWiki:Generic subjects|generic subject]], and should therefore be deleted. | ||

#{{User|Alex95}} - Unless this is the official name, I don't see much point to this article to begin with. It's a standard mouse cursor. Merging the other cursors to this page would likely still qualify it as a generic subject, as all they do is point, click, and other things a standard cursor can do (except for the [[Star Cursor]], which can do a bit more). | #{{User|Alex95}} - Unless this is the official name, I don't see much point to this article to begin with.

#{{User|Doomhiker}} Per my comment in the discussion above I personally think that there is enough unique uses of the curser to warrant a full article. As for cursers that should definitely be included in the article if this option passes would include the curser from 3DS/Switch versions of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', as that curser can stun enemies and throw [[turnip]]s, and also the curser from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', with its ability being similar from the curser for Captain Toad (except for the turnip-trowing capabilities). Another potential curser to be included in this article would be the cursers from the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' series, with its ability to trow [[Star Bit]]s. Potentially the curser from ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' could also get in due to its ability to change the look of the hand, but that probably would still qualify as a [[MarioWiki:Generic subjects|generic subject]]. | #{{User|Doomhiker}} Per my comment in the discussion above I personally think that there is enough unique uses of the curser to warrant a full article.

I don't see why Star Cursor has to be merged to a generic "Cursor" page when it has an official name of its own. My point was the "Cursor" page could use {{tem|main}} to link to Star Cursor. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:45, 4 December 2018 (EST) | I don't see why Star Cursor has to be merged to a generic "Cursor" page when it has an official name of its own.
