The page(s) you recently created ({{{1}}}) has (have) been put up for deletion, has been deleted, or has been turned into a redirect. This may be because it violated at least one of the policies and/or guidelines of the Super Mario Wiki. There are some things you can do to ensure this doesn't happen again.
  1. Make sure there is no other article about the same subject with a different title, especially for conjectural articles.
  2. Make sure the article has enough information to make it a worthwhile read (i.e. it does more than state the obvious, such as "Luigi's Garden is a garden that belongs to Luigi"). Overly short articles are known as stubs and their creation is strongly discouraged; it is better to amass enough information to make a solid article right off the bat.
  3. Make sure the article is significant enough in the Mario series to merit an article.

If the article has only been tagged to be deleted you may still fix or expand it, but an administrator may delete it at any time, so please act quickly. All new stubs have a week from the point of being tagged to be expanded. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing!
