Tanooki Mario
A page about a transformation of Mario. Fancruft and beyond! A Link to the Past 01:10, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Redirect, no merge. A condensed version of the information in this article is already present in Super Mario Bros. 3; I would have suggested a merge if it weren't. (Change vote; that's what I meant in the first place.) A &#1080; D &#1103; 01D TALK 21:59, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete but make sure all accurate information is present in Super Mario Bros. 3--Absurdist 02:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Mario is perhaps one of the most notable video game characters ever, so no, a transformation of Mario would not be "fancruft". If the consensus starts to lean towards delete, I will change my vote to merge with Mario and Super Mario Bros. 3. But if it doesn't, I'll still be voting keep. Revolución 03:29, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * HUGE flaw in that - you're arguing that a variation of Mario deserves its article because the transformation is of a popular character. Well, go make an article about Mario's Hammer. I'll be there to recommend it for a Speedy Deletion. -- A Link to the Past 03:02, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Super Mario Bros. 3 and include a section in that article about Mario's various suits that appear only in that game. (This would include not only the Tanooki, but Frog and Hammer suits as well.) Firebug 05:18, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, duplicate content, cruft. Megan1967 06:34, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Super Mario Bros. 3. the wub (talk) 07:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Super Mario Bros. 3 by expanding the small section about the Tanooki suit. Sjakkalle 10:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * On second thought the info in the SMB3 article is more concise and better, so just redirect. Sjakkalle 09:38, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Super Mario Bros. 3. --bainer 12:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 *  Merge and redirect as above. --InShaneee 17:55, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Do NOT Merge this. The SMB3 page already has this information, condensed. -- A Link to the Past 19:01, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Super Mario Bros. 3. No merge, as this is already covered by the article. --Carnildo 21:16, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, no need for breakout. I'd agree with Link to the past that the SMB3 page deals with this adequately, and more consisely, without losing anything but unneeded wordyness. Sabine's Sunbird 01:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Super Mario Bros. 3. -- metta, The Sunborn  03:36, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Super Mario Bros. 3. Andre ( talk ) 00:37, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
