Lakitu

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails the WP:SIGCOV criteria of WP:GNG, with its reception entirely trivial coverage and cherry-picked sentences, a textbook example of ref bombing with a great deal of text but signifying nothing. Things like "1UP.com described Lakitu as a "series mainstay"" and "UGO Networks editor Chris Littler listed having to be rescued by Lakitu after falling off the track in Super Mario Kart as one of the top 50 worst ways to die in a video game" are just fluff. There's no reason the character can't be merged into Characters in the Mario franchise. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:38, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge I didn’t even remember this guy had a name. We are not Mario Wiki, and we don’t need individual articles on literally every Mario character because they’ve been mentioned half a dozen times in listicles. Dronebogus (talk) 00:55, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per Zxcvbnm. All of the sources are just content farms or non-significant coverage. Carpimaps (talk) 01:55, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 08:07, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge the listicles fail WP:SIGCOV. At best, they show that a merged article about all the characters would be notable, while individual character articles are not. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:12, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * While the OP has not provided an actual deletion rationale for his AfD nomination, I do support the notion to merge some of the article's contents into the relevant entry for Characters in the Mario franchise. Haleth (talk) 01:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge due to lack of significant coverage in my research. - Whadup, it&#39;s ya girl, Dusa (talk) 21:55, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
