Bunny Hood[edit]
If a clothing item, such as a "bunny hood", makes an appearance in 3 different Nintendo videogames, does that somehow make it noteworthy and encyclopedic? If your answer to this question is "yes", how and why? --GRider\talk 17:11, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Well-written, informative article. Xezbeth 17:31, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep seems to be part of a series of articles on recurring power-up items. Not everybody's cup of tea, to be sure, but they're well-written articles and of interest to the gamer community. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:39, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you Andrew and Xezbeth both for your comments. Each of you raise the same valuable question: If an article is "well-written" does that then somehow obviate the need to be "encyclopedic" and make it worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia? --GRider\talk 17:47, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Not by itself, obviously, (a well-written article about my favourite hat would likely go) but it's certainly a point in the right direction. My own personal criteria has always been--and is likely to remain--A subject should have an article if it is reasonably evident that a non-stub article about the subject could be created without resorting to filler, trivia, or unverifiable information. In this case, that is clearly true. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:14, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

- Keep, and Grider, would you mind only nominating one of these sorts of things at a time? It's a pain to have to vote to keep all of them, when these could have been consolidated into one vote. Best, Meelar (talk) 20:23, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
- See Super_Mario_Bros._3 - Merge all items related to the same game into one article for easy comparison. In this case, that would be both the Zelda series and Super Smash Bros. Radiant! 20:36, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, not notable, gamescruft. Megan1967 06:48, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Trim, merge, and redirect to some article on crap from Nintendo (not that exact title though, maybe "Ninendo objects"). -R. fiend 18:34, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Merge, agree with R. fiend. If the power-up's not game-specific then put it under a series powerup article or something. Demi 20:00, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)
- Merge with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time weapons and items and Super Smash Bros. Melee, redirect to the former. Andre (talk) 22:57, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep-- There are a lot of articles just like this one that have never undergone VfD. 67.81.191.226; 09:29, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable in its own right. Super Smash Bros. Melee had a lot of items from other games, which should be described in their own games' articles, if at all. — Gwalla | Talk 04:11, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but TFD that template - David Gerard 12:09, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
