{{@|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Regarding the audience, while ''Super Mario Strikers'' and ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' may share an audience, I think their appearance in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' should count for something since the Monty Moles appear updated with their modern design in the game's cinematics, as opposed to the ''Mario Party Advance'' design used in ''Mario Power Tennis''.

Upon further consideration, I believe that the main point of contention shouldn't be "is Birdo a unique character or a species"; I think there's sufficient concrete examples of Birdo being portrayed as a unique individual as well as of her species existing. But we should be discussing "what are the merits and shortcomings of having a single page for Birdo vs. having pages for Birdo as a character and as a species".

:My stance is that Birdo being an individual character doesn't mean there can't be more than one of her, because it's the Mario franchise and the devs often don't care about narrative consistency, they're just gonna use however many they need of any character. And I also strongly believe that splitting the article was only disadvantageous in regards to navigation and finding information, it just makes people looking for info about the same thing (dinosaur character called Birdo) have to hunt it down across two separate pages, on top of forcing us to unhelpfully [[MarioWiki:Once and only once|repeat]] the Super Mario Bros. 2 information across both articles. I really don't see any way in which that arrangement was beneficial. Covering all information about Birdo on the page called Birdo instead of making up pointless character-species distinctions means we can provide all the information about her in one complete article, rather than one mostly but not quite complete article and one unfocused mess of an article. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 03:29, February 5, 2025 (EST) | |||
