Angry Sun

Belongs in the Super Mario 3 article if anywhere - but the term is generic enough that it ought not redirect there. Delete.

• Delete, non-notable even IN the Mario world. Master Thief Garrett 05:53, 19 May 2005 (UTC) Merge with List of Super Mario characters, make this page a writeups-and-links page, just like The Legend of Zelda series characters is. Master Thief Garrett^Talk 16:10, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, mario cruft. Megan1967 07:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I saw this when it was brand new but didn't VfD it because I wasn't really sure what to do with it. It's been some time since the original post, and it hasn't changed, so it doesn't look like it's going anywhere, and isn't really notable even within the context of video games.
  • Whoops, forgot to sign the above: Doozer (Talk) 07:13, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I seem to think that this is the main enemy in one of the levels and many of the other Super Mario enemies have their own article. If keep is not possible, give it a mention and redirected to List of Super Mario characters. Sjakkalle 07:58, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes but the ones with their own pages are Koopas and Goombas, much more notable, they even had their own rap IIRC. Master Thief Garrett 09:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Take a look at all the links at List of Super Mario characters. There are more enemies than the Koopa and the Goomba with their own article. Sjakkalle 09:28, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
      • If anyone cares to merge all the Mario character stubs, that will be fine, the only reason I voted keep and not merge, was because the other characters had their own article. Then, if someone wants to make serious expansions they can make separate articles. Goomba is an example of how good an article on this can become. Sjakkalle 06:24, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per WP:FICT and if I have some more time I'll consider merging a lot of stubs on the List of Super Mario characters. Radiant_* 10:48, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Well considering my recent ruthlessness with the Zelda characters, this is a surprising list of separate stubby characters. Merge them all! Merge I say! Let's make my work the unnofficial standard throughout WP! Master Thief Garrett^Talk 16:10, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Sjakkalle, notable fictional thing. Kappa 13:07, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per Radiant. Appears in one level in one game, even if he is the focus of the level. We don't need an entry on every Mario enemy. However, while "Angry Sun" is general, it isn't exactly something I see becoming an encyclopedia entry, so the redirect seems fine. --Yoshi348 16:02, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Two levels, actually. Still doesn't need its own article, IMO, but should be redirected to the list. Firebug 03:32, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per WP:FICT. -- Lochaber 17:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and merge into Super Mario 3 --IncMan 18:16, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per WP:FICT. Being present in two levels out of 100+ in one video game hardly qualifies for being a "major character". --Carnildo 21:47, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of Super Mario characters, to which I've added it. Firebug 03:32, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
