Talk:Ruddy Road Paint Guy

Possible name for the subject

Given what he says while attached to the sign, would Incredibly Handsome Paint Thief work as a title for this article? ^(T|C) 14:32, September 18, 2020 (EDT)

It's written in plural, so I'd assume it's just meant to be a bit of bragging about Shy Guys in general. The other signs say "Beware the Paint Thieves!" and this one is different as a clue. Scrooge200 (talk) 14:56, September 18, 2020 (EDT)

Well, I meant it more as a conjectural name we could refer to the subject by. ^(T|C) 15:21, September 18, 2020 (EDT)

What about Paint Guy (Ruddy Road)? Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:34, September 18, 2020 (EDT)

Or maybe just Paint Guy (character)? ^(T|C) 16:31, September 18, 2020 (EDT)

Sorry to say this but I think the existance of this article is going a bit overboard. This Paint Guy does not stick around for very long, is only there to repaint the mini paint star, does not have an official name. I think this information works fine on the Paint Guy article. Nightwicked Bowser

When this article was first created, I thought its existence was going a bit overboard, as I said in the section above. I feel this information would work well in the Paint Guy article as this is a conjectural title and the Paint Guy himself only shows up briefly. I also feel it violates MarioWiki:Minor NPCs a bit.

1. Ninja Squid (talk) To be honest, I don't feel like it violates the Minor NPCs rule at all. It is clearly written there that "However, if a Minor NPC can be shown to have importance to the game or story, the character warrants a conjectural name determined by the wiki and its own article.", which is the case here. This particular Paint Guy has stolen a good amount of paint from the red Mini Paint Star, which are needed to clear a level in Paper Mario: Color Splash. Furthermore, "he claims to have seen the error of his ways, stating he regrets his life choices", which showcases that he got a somewhat define personnality, which makes it sufficiently distinct in my opinion from other Paint Guys. With the way Paper Mario: Color Splash is structured in both story and characters, I believe this character follows the standards required to have its own page.
2. Benjaminkirsc (talk) I hate that idea. Also per Ninja Squid
3. FanOfYoshi (talk) Per all.
4. DarkNight (talk) Per Ninja Squid.
5. Power Flotzo (talk) Per NS.
6. Scrooge200 (talk) This character is an actual partner, and follows you around for a meaningful portion of the level. He has a good amount of dialogue and is an important character for the first Mini Paint Star in the level. Scrooge200 (talk) 14:35, December 8, 2020 (EST)
