Talk:Koopaphobia

Point?

Is there really a reason to keep this article around? It's just an article detailing a fear of the Koopa Troop as it's portrayed in one episode by a single one-time character, and considering we've deleted Holerö and Happiness, I'd say this is ripe for deletion as well. Plus, phobia is a real-world term, which makes this article feel incredibly generic. ^(T|C) 23:53, July 29, 2022 (EDT)

This article was created in February 2008. Another stone age relic that is inexplicably still around. 13:44, July 30, 2022 (EDT)

It's not even about the condition as it is about the person with the condition, except for a off-handed mention of a tattle from Super Paper Mario. Because what more is there to say? It's a stupid reference attempt to Indiana Jones's fear of snakes, and that's it. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:09, July 30, 2022 (EDT)

So this article covers Koopaphobia, a fictional phobia that existed in that one episode that parodied Indiana Jones. It was just an abstract, one-off joke that never appeared again and is such a vague concept. Therefore, it's pretty unnecessary to have an article for it. There are three ways we can handle this.

Merge with Koopa (species)
Since there isn't that much information about the fictional phobia, this could be a good idea.

Merge with Indiana Joe
The character is mainly associated with this concept. Heck, the main article's image is Indiana Joe.

Merge with "Raiders of the Lost Mushroom"
It's only part of that episode, and once again, it's such a vague concept that it might as well just go there.

If one of these passes, Koopaphobia will just become a redirect for one of these articles.

Merge with Koopa (species)

Wikiboy10 (talk): I chose this one because it's a concept most closely attributed to Koopas.

1. ShootingStar7X (talk) Per Bazooka Mario in the prior discussion.
2. Hewer (talk) Per proposal, all this is is a trait of this one character.
3. Bazooka Mario (talk) the condition isn't worth much comment otherwise.
4. Ray Trace (talk) This is almost in the same vein as the Mushroom Universe where an article originates from an 80's cartoon writer quickly phoning in a well-known pop culture joke. Honestly, I think we should delete this article and put it in BJAODN.
5. TheFlameChomp (talk) Per all.
6. RHG1951 (talk) Per all.
7. Spectrogram (talk) BJAODN material.
