Reason - Just because the character have join Super Smash Bros. and very well-known does not means it's needed an article because the article lacks of WP:SIGCOV and some of the references such as Database websites, eStarland and gallery and image are unreliable. the only exception is the reception section which looks okay but still, it has unreliable sources so.

Merge to List of Donkey Kong characters, he is not independently notable of the games where he appears. There's a serious lack of significant coverage. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. To be honest I was thinking about this one myself, the sourcing for a lot of the Smash Bros. character articles is sadly in the same state across the board.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Not enough SIGCOV here. Ping me if more is found. QuicoleJR (talk) 22:06, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. Generalissima (talk) 17:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. Been looking at this one for a while, and the coverage just isn't there. Willing to reconsider if more sources are found. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 17:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. The broader scope gives needed context. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 04:35, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with his section at List of Donkey Kong characters in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 19:53, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as WP:CONSENSUS. I'd like to imagine there are more sources for this, but there is nothing significant to say that is separate from the series. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:46, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge because the relevance of the character is based solely on the video games and does not exist for the character as a standalone. Killarnee (talk) 20:27, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
