Is this page needed?Edit

Wiki policy states that named NPCs, no matter how minor, should get their own pages. As the term "Toad salesman" is explicitly used in Goombella's tattle, this could be seen as a name for the character, similarly to say Twilight Shop manager. However, "a" is used in the tattle rather than "the", which could possibly imply this character is not truly named at all, and as he plays such a small role in the game it may make more sense to merge this page with List of unnamed NPCs in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Sure, he has a unique design, but names (and importance in the game when lacking an official name) are the basis for character article creation here. This isn't even getting into the debate on how to handle shopkeepers and innkeepers on the minor NPC list… Technetium (talk) 13:52, August 18, 2024 (EDT)

I think this page may be more worth keeping if it includes the items he sells.   Nightwicked Bowser   14:16, August 18, 2024 (EDT)
Oooh, great point, especially since he doesn't have his own shop that could have its own page! Technetium (talk) 14:21, August 18, 2024 (EDT)
In short, quite like how Charlieton's article is handled.   Nightwicked Bowser   14:48, August 18, 2024 (EDT)
Yeah, now that it was mentioned, a shop inventory section makes a lot more sense here. ReeceeYT (talk) 15:08, August 18, 2024 (EDT)
