:Link's Awakening in particular has a lot of specific references to Mario for it to count on the same level as, say, [[Captain Rainbow]], but I don't think some cross-promotions and shared developers are enough to extend that to the whole series. By this logic we could also have an article on the Punch-Out!! series because of Mario as the referee and Donkey Kong as an opponent, but instead we only cover the [[Punch-Out!! (Wii)|Wii game]] because it's the most relevant to Mario. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 06:35, April 15, 2022 (EDT) | :Link's Awakening in particular has a lot of specific references to Mario for it to count on the same level as, say, [[Captain Rainbow]], but I don't think some cross-promotions and shared developers are enough to extend that to the whole series.

::Again, though, ''Zelda'' has had recurring ''Mario'' elements for such a long time that it's practically to be expected, especially the 2D games. ''Link's Awakening'' is notable, sure, but it also has more references to other Nintendo properties than other games in the series on top of that, including ''Kirby's Dream Land'', ''The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls'', and even the SNES version of ''SimCity''. If anything, that's the game with the so-called cross-promotions (though I wouldn't really call it that outside of maybe the side-scrolling sections trying to be reminiscent of ''Super Mario Bros.''). That's why I don't particularly agree with a specific game being covered, but would instead prefer a generalized solution (which would ''include'' said game). Further, I don't buy the {{wp|slippery slope}} presented earlier for the reasons I explained.

Ignoring that I think "follow-up/fallback" proposals shouldn't run concurrently with whatever they're related to, I think the focus of this proposal is misplaced. Unless it was already done in the past, it should be on deciding where the series fits as outlined in the coverage policy. That would not only make future action clearer, but it would also alleviate concerns about where the line is drawn. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}} 12:43, April 15, 2022 (EDT) | |||
