Talk:Merlon (Mario)

Cool!
I didn't know Merlon cameo'd in the first two paper mario games! That's cool! But why am I not surprized upon knowing this? Oh yeah, wiki constantly teaches me things! It was here where I learned they were making a secuel to mario and luigi, I learned astronauts are given three diapers before they leave, and drake of the 99 dragons STINKS!

I love you wikipiedia!

Notability
Merlon is primarily notable for his role in Super Paper Mario, although he has appeared in other games; a redirect to a list of characters from a different Paper Mario game is grossly inappropriate, especially given the relative quality of the Merlon (Mario) article, and the fact that he isn't mentioned in that article. Also, given his very prominent role in SPM, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in one or more crossover games (ex: Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Cart Wii, the next Mario Party). Thus, he's notable enough for his own article. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Notability is asserted by verifiable, real world information backed by reliable sources, not by the amount of games or the popularity in the series. A better redirect target may be in order, but it certainly doesn't require an article. TTN 00:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I went out and found a few sources. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 17:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You can source the hell out of story sections, but without real world information, it still means nothing. Soma Cruz is a good example of that. TTN 18:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

List of Mario series characters seems like the best option for a redirect, maybe in some sort of "major secondary protagonists/characters" section (along with others such as Toadette and E. Gadd), while characters like Donkey Kong, Mario, Princess Peach, etc. could be given a "main protagonists" section. Either something like that or just keep it as a redirect to the Paper Mario chaacters article. -- Lord Crayak
