List of characters in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Unencyclopedic. Has been copied to http://en.nintendo.wikia.com; however, the images also need to be copied, and I recommend that this happen before the deletion. (Once the images have been copied, most of them can also be deleted.) Neon Merlin 18:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup. The fact that this is the only subpage of Paper Mario:TTYD shows an incredible amount of restraint on the part of the editors. Nifboy 04:39, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per guidelines at WP:FICT. A single list of characters for a game is perfectly acceptable, and many CVG good and featured articles (primarily the Final Fantasy games) use lists of characters (as well as separate articles for individual main characters) to keep the main article from growing too large. --SevereTireDamage 05:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the above: a great example of fans who have managed to avoid the cruft trap by collecting less significant material into a single article. In its Wikipedia incarnation, this article needs pruning to remove trivia, the parts written in an unencyclopedic style need tightening up, and sources need to be added, but I can't see that it inherently fails to meet the current consensus for inclusion. — Haeleth Talk 09:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:FICT reccomends creating lists for minor characters and major characters being given seperate articles if they do not fit within the main article. This seems to follow this exact procedure. As per SevereTireDamage as I just noticed he made this point already. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 11:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if sourced and cleaned up else transwiki to wikisource as game guide. It should also be tagged {{fiction}} because it has a mostly in-universe focus. I also suggest not splitting the article. Lists are allowed to be larger per WP:SIZE. --Kunzite 02:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
