Nerdist edit
In reference to this edit here.
To my shock, Nerdist Industries actually is considering usable per WP:VG/S. Or at least, 2 editors supported their use in the discussion linked there. That said, there are still issues here. The article still doesn't source the edit appropriately.
- The change suggests that they criticize Pratt's role because he's different from Charles Martinet, but the article doesn't even mention Charles by name.
- Nerdist makes no real assertion at all, they're more or less just regurgitating social media comments; an article that's documenting "Twitters greatest zingers" or whatever isn't really a great source for writing encyclopedic content.
- As I've pointed out, the edit keeps adding the accusation of "stunt casting" without any sourcing. That's personal editorialization if you don't provide a source for it.
Please stop re-adding. Sergecross73 msg me 15:50, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarifying. Turtletennisfogwheat (talk) 15:56, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- No problem. Sorry if I was harsh in the edit summary, I at first thought it was the same person repeatedly adding it. Sergecross73 msg me 16:26, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

First pointed out by the youtube channel Game Theory, in the prequel to donkey kong mario forces dk to juggle pineapples and fire.
Mario's father may be jumpman from donkey kong.

- Entertaining stuff, but I'm not sure there's anything of encyclopedic value here, nor are YouTubers considered usable sources on Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 00:37, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Requested move 25 November 2025
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. WP:SNOW closure; the proposed title does not follow any proper naming convention and consensus is universally against it. Previous discussions have determined that Mario the character is the primary topic for "Mario". (non-admin closure) Thanks, Glasspalace (talk | contribs) 01:47, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
Mario → Mario from Nintendo – Many people often use the formula (CHARACTER) from (FRANCHISE/COMPANY), so I think this would be a good name for this page. If anything, maybe Mario from Super Mario would work, too. ~2025-36361-58 (talk) 15:38, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose: No way is this happening. The proposed title doesn't seem to follow any naming conventions, including Wikipedia:Naming conventions (video games)#Characters. Consensus from past RMs has decided that the character is the primary topic. Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 16:06, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- I wonder if I should go and notify everyone who participated in the previous RM that started on July 1, 2025. Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 16:10, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- I wouldn't bother, there's no way this passes. Their suggestion has no correlation to how Wikipedia names articles. Sergecross73 msg me 16:22, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Could you please link the previous discussion(s)? - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:52, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- They're linked at the top of this talk page. Just above this very discussion. Sergecross73 msg me 19:50, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

- Strong Oppose - we just had an extensive duscussion on the name of the article. The consensus was the current name, and nothing has changed in mere months. Certainly not this suggestion, which is simply not how Wikipedia names articles. Sergecross73 msg me 16:22, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose Doesn't follow proper naming standards, and we've already done this whole argument.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Additional comment: Why doesn't Wikipedia name their articles (CHARACTER/THING) from (FRANCHISE/COMPANY)? For instance. "John Doe from The Show" would just be "John Doe (The Show)" instead titled on WP, but I prefer it as "John Doe from The Show". What's wrong with the "(CHARACTER/THING) from (FRANCHISE/COMPANY)" formula? ~2025-36361-58 (talk) 16:42, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Another example: "Anonymous (The New Movie Coming Out Today)", but I think it should be titled "Anonymous from The New Movie Coming Out Today". ~2025-36361-58 (talk) 16:44, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose - not sure what else I could add that's not already covered above... I guess, per previous discussions and consensuses on the topic? - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:49, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - 100% unusual disambiguation even though he is the mascot of Nintendo. Mario by itself will be as it is for years to come due to continuous game creations featuring this character. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:57, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose Even if there wasn’t a recent consensus to keep this article at the current title the proposed title doesn’t have a chance of happening.--~2025-31232-47 (talk) 01:10, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
