I am recommending deletion. This redirect is confusing to me. I do not know anything about this character except it is apparently an alias for "Doopliss the Duplighost." This redirects to an existing article, but a nonexistent section. Either this redirect should be deleted or someone should re-include information on "Doopliss the Duplighost" in the destination article. Since this character appears to be a minor one and is not significant enough to have a place in the larger article, I am recommending deletion. Randomizer3 (talk) 15:02, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This redirect was created (then at the title ????) as the result of this May 2005 deletion discussion. The redirect itself was later moved as the result of this RfD debate.  The target article had content on this character until July 2005 when it and a large block of other content was removed without explanation by an anon editor.  Subsequent edits suggest that the content was moved and not simply stricken from the article.  "Doopliss" does not appear to be on any current page in Wikpedia (though that title does also redirect to this title) but it may be restored.  The redirect itself seems harmless to me and is not in the way of any other content.  Keep in order to be sure that we are living up the the attribution requirements of GFDL and CC-BY-SA.

 * Apparently, the restore happened sooner than I expected. I went back to add the link to my internal search and now get a hit for "Doopliss" on True names in popular culture.  The reference is fairly trivial, though, so the current target is arguably less bad.  Rossami (talk) 23:13, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If we aren't going to delete the redirect, I recommend adding a section to "List of Mario franchise characters" and redirecting to that. Randomizer3 (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
