Paper Mario characters

This isn't suitable for an encyclopedia. Pretty much all of the important information is covered in the plot summaries in the associated game articles. The rest is quite trivial. &mdash; Malcolm (talk) 20:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge trivia with other information. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim  21:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of Mario series characters.-- Pre ston  H  04:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per PrestonH. Shoester 06:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This provides characters on the whole series, and includes characters NOT on the individual articles of the games in the series. C. Pineda 20:31, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to a suitable article. Nothing from it needs to be merged anywhere, and it certainly doesn't need to stand on its own. TTN 19:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep; I find it somewhat trivial how an article covering characters in a game trilogy is being nominated for deletion, and those LoZ, MOTHER, Metal Gear, etc. articles covering the characters appearing in one game are untouched. (Characters in TLoZ: ALttP for example) -- Lord Crayak
 * You're entitled to your opinion, but it could fall under WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. I'd suport the deletion of most other articles like this, too. &mdash; Malcolm (talk) 17:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect or whatever then. -- Lord Crayak


 * KEEP: The article includes information that is not found in the main game articles themselves and goes into more important details about the characters. 75.185.101.79 18:18, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Shorten the information on party members, then merge to their respective game article. I doubt the rest need to go anywhere.  You Can ' t Review Me!!! 18:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, List of Mario series characters is too broad for this series, and most of the associated game articles have this article as their main article for the characters, so in the very least a merge back is required, but that would need to be thought out properly, and nobody has provided a clear approach here.
