Keep List of Yoshi series bosses, while it sucks, it is not different from List of Metal Gear Solid characters (Now on WP:FLC) and Delete or Merge (God knows what into) List of Yoshi series enemies as it is truly awful and seems to violate WP:ISNOT an indiscriminate collection of info and would be the same as having List of South Park backround characters †he Bread 02:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Two reasons for deletion based on policy are WP:V and WP:NOT (a game guide). "Keep because it's like <this article>" is not a valid argument on AfD. -- Steel 02:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - although it needs cleanup, I can't imagine sources would be too difficult to find. There have to be published strategy guides, official documentation, etc. That'd take care of verification. As for "not a game guide", just removing any content that is "how-to" would work. Crystallina 03:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, on the basis that this is easily recoverable. The article indeed needs cleanup, but there is nothing to differentiate it from the above examples. Daveydw ee b (^chat/_review!) 03:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep These are pretty notable games, and a list seems like a good way to handle these characters. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- As per all. Nileena joseph ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 18:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep List of Yoshi series bosses is pretty good. May need some clean-up, though. I agree with Crystallina that soursed would be hard to find. Otherwise, I say keep. K yo cat^{¿Qué tal?♥meow!} 19:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- It seems like a good article, but I agree it needs cleanup.--SUIT 20:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Crystallina. --- RockMFR 20:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There's a difference between cruft and a good source of information in a particular field. This article is the latter. --Gray Porpo ise 20:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this isn't a useless article. Also does not violate WP:ISNOT. --SonicChao ^talk 20:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep not entirely game guide-ish or fancruft, many of the bosses in the Yoshi series have become notable characters.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 22:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Altohugh I'm probably getting voted off the island here, this lsit is just taken from the boss's main articles. Also, it is unreferenced & a blatant fan-cruft situation. I created an article from the biggest selling game ever, & it gets deleted. just as much time was spent on my article, yet it gets deleted. So, taking the principles from that situation & applying them here, this article would be deleted. So that's what I'm sticking to. Thanks, Spawn Man 02:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Entirely original research listcruft. Easily accomadated with an external link to a game guide website. NeoFreak 04:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as no sources have been provided and there's no indication they will be. Just because they shouldn't be difficult to find doesn't mean that anyone will have the inclination or motivation to do so.--Kchase T 23:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
keep a useful list with narrow scope. Verifiable. — brighterorange (talk) 18:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- The characters listed here do play a large role in the Yoshi series games, but most have relatively little or no background info that can be cited off of the internet. Most info, if noted, has to do with battle information; the only real attainable information about these characters. Although some entries are written poorly, I believe this list contains truthful and useful information. Dflocks80 00:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
