+===Different characters===
+<span style="color:red;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:150%">KEEP ARTICLES MERGED 14-1</span>
+Often when browsing the wiki, there are various articles about two character such as [[Mario and Luigi's Parents]] and [[Mario Joe and Luigi Bob]]. I propose a split of these articles who is about two characters, into two characters. Of course, these articles shouldn't only say thins such as "Mario and Luigi's Father has a pipe and appeard in a comic strip and at the end of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Super Mario Advance 3]]''" and nothing more, but there shall be things written on both articles, such as their background. I propose a split of pages like those.

+====Support====
+#Despite there not being enough info, they ARE seperate characters. [[User:HyperToad|THIS MEANS ASHLEY AND RED!]]
+====Oppose====
+#{{User:Time Q/sig}} The reason for two characters being merged in one article usually is that there isn't enough to say about each of them. If this proposal passed, we would need to split all of these articles, and that would automatically result in more stub articles. If you feel that a certain article should be split, you should discuss it on the talk page, not through a proposal.
+#{{User:Cobold/sig}} - Per Time Q, this has to be decided individually.
+#{{User:Blitzwing/sig}} - Per Time Q. There's nothing to says about [[Master Mantis]], why should we make a separate article for him?
+#{{User:Stumpers/sig}} As the writer of the current [[Mario and Luigi's Parents]] article, I remember being grateful that I didn't have to rewrite the same historical information twice.  If characters are never seen apart from one another and do not have detailed backstories, I feel it is fine to leave them combined.
+#{{User:InfectedShroom/sig}} Per the Q of Time. We don't need most things seperated.
+#{{User:Stooben Rooben/sig|Although the wiki needs more articles, this is not the way to do it. The last thing we need is more stubs. Dividing the articles will also make thing more confusing for everyone.}}
+#{{User:Storm Yoshi/sig}}Per Time Q
+#{{User:Glitchman/sig2}} Per Time Q.
+#{{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}}Per all.

+====Comments====
+:WTF! I never made this propsal D=< I'v been posed as! {{User:King Mario/sig}}
+:If you visited Recent Change every so often. You would notice than there is an user called "KingMario" (Without the spaces) that sometimes edit. You haven't been "posed as". --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 17:18, 14 February 2008 (EST)
+::Yeah, but why does the link go to his userpage? 0_o {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}
+Uuh, KingMario, aren't you going to vote for your own proposal?! {{User:Glitchman/sig2}}
+WAIT JUST A DARN MINUTE!!! If we have certain "double" articles, why does every obscure game get an article? Why don't we mege those too. Characters are just as inportant as games. [[User:HyperToad|HyperToad]]
+:Oh, no. Games should be the main focus of this wiki (at least from my point of view). And game articles can actually be extended, whereas there is usually nothing more to add to those merged character articles. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 15:06, 15 February 2008 (EST)
+::You'll see, though, that remakes in which barely anything was changed are in a sub-section in the original game's article.  See ''Super Mario Bros.'' for example. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 17:43, 15 February 2008 (EST)
+[[User:huntercrunch|huntercrunch]] You see, Hyper Toad, Two characters who have barely any info in them should be merged. Hotel Mario, for example, has enough info to stay separate. Characters aren't as important as games. Characters are PART of the games. Actually, we could have something like "List of minor characters in the Mario series" or something to that effect.
+:::I think that was attempted in the days of the "Big Eight" article.  It, like Big Eight, didn't work out, even with the child articles in place.  There is a [[List of Implied Characters]], though. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 23:18, 17 February 2008 (EST)
+:::: Yeah, we had an article called "List of Minor Characters in Super Paper Mario", however, [[User:Son of Suns|some guy]] came and split it without discussion. --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 06:53, 18 February 2008 (EST)
