Split-off typeface?

 * Oppose- splitting a stubbish page into two (mini-)stubs is pointless. May be reconsidered if either grows significantly Fastifex 14:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support The two types of minion covered in this article are so different and apparently un-related that the combination under a single heading seems forced and inadequate. The stub on minion as a "favorite" is sufficiently fleshed out to be a short article, and the subject matter is of sufficient historical importance and interest to stand alone.

 * Support. "[C]ombination under a single heading seems forced..." is a good way to put this. Thanks, GChriss &lt;always listening&gt; <kmkll
 * Support. Both are respectable stubs now. EdC 14:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikionary?
I'm not an expert, but this article now reads a lot to me like a dictionary article. It was less clear before the split. What exactly makes this a wikipedia article and not just a dictionary article?Mrjeff 10:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The etymological stuff can be transwikied, but the historical ("Les Mignons") is encyclopaedic. That said, that should be under mignon, not minion. EdC 17:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Mignons?
While I can see "Les Mignons" might be wikipedia worthy, surely it should be at Mignons, or Les Mignons, not minion? Unless anyone comments in the next couple of days, I intend to copy that section to Mignon, then probably redirect this to the Minion disambigulation page.83.67.130.87 17:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The section already exists at Les Mignons, so I'm redirecting this to the disambig page. --Xyzzyplugh 13:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Super Smash Bros Minion
Can be defined as a player controlled character who assists in damage dealing but never wins. They usually lack poor finishing skills, but excel at evading. It's very common that they'll finish second place, but will have no kills. Key characters that make incredible minions are Kirby, Link and Donkey Kong. Kirby's floating skills make for excellent evasion techniques and will usually float over people and drop a brick on them just when they're about to finish an opponent near the ledge. Link being the most retarded character will always have his boomerang flying everywhere whilst summoning an endless stream of bombs from his incredibly large repository in his cape. It's important to note that Link is a very easy minion to kill as his stage re-entering abilities are next to nil. The last, and by far most rattling minion is Donkey Kong. While this character lacks evasion skills and fast smashes, he makes up for it with his suicide wind up punch and his scream inducing ability to pick up fellow players and walk off the ledge with them. The best way to combat a minion is to either fight back with the same characters, or choose a character with lightning fast movements. The best choices seem to be Fox with his rattling laser gun, or Kirby with his infuriating A+Down moves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sturc (talk • contribs) 20:27, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

A real page?
shouldn't there be a page describing the concept of a Minion in media? Or at least, redirect toward the page "servant"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.104.154.254 (talk) 15:28, 22 September 2010 (UTC) THERWS — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.213.43.31 (talk) 21:16, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think it would be great if Wikipedia could have an article about this topic. It would help explain so much to people and would be useful to those who have to encounter real-life minions. GBFEE (talk) 20:42, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Movie Picture
The Minions doesn´t appear in Megamind movie, but in Despicable Me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.201.189.10 (talk) 10:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The small yellow creatures in Despicable Me are called "Minions". This should not be confused with the sidekick in the movie Megamind, whose name is "Minion".  GoingBatty (talk) 15:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
