Per SMW:Once and only once, this article is quite redundant with the text of Armored Harriers, which contains essentially the same information at the moment, even including the two Iron Clefts' stats. While the Armored Harriers aren't unique in being enemies exclusive to the Glitz Pit (the Tiny Spinies, KP Koopas, and Punk Rocks are other examples), they are uniquely story-relevant unlike those teams, are treated as mini-bosses and unique characters by the game (including separate Tattle Log entries for the two members owing to their slightly different designs), and frankly this article has little unique to offer as a result. I do think that there is an argument for merging the other aforementioned teams containing unique enemies as well, but there are more pitfalls there, such as the Magikoopa Masters containing unique enemies who previously appeared in Paper Mario on the N64, for example, or several of the later teams containing enemies that otherwise only appear in the Pit of 100 Trials, so I will restrict this proposal to the Iron Clefts, at least for the time being.

I feel that it should be the other way around, merging Armored Harriers to Iron Cleft, as the Armored Harriers are a team name while Iron Clefts are the actual enemies. Tails777 Talk to me!

I see the Armored Harriers as the name of the characters, and it's the primary name they're referred to as in-game, with "Iron Cleft" only appearing in battle if I'm not mistaken. If Rawk Hawk's species was said to be, say, "Birdman", I think it's fairly unlikely that we'd have a Birdman article separate from Rawk Hawk's. -- Pseudo (talk, contributions) 17:16, May 23, 2024 (EDT)
