This article, along with Vic Video, should be deleted. According to MarioWiki:Canonicity, Lastly, it should be noted that, canonical or not, the Super Mario Wiki only covers official content, as well as unofficial but notable mainstream cameo appearances and knockoffs that have been acknowledged by Nintendo itself. Fan creations, such as fan-fiction, fan-made video games, or fan-theories, are not to be referenced within our articles. Blip has nothing to do with Nintendo and is not notable at all. It only ran for seven issues in 1983. The contents of this article should be here instead: List of Mario references in publications.--Platform (talk) 00:55, June 29, 2021 (EDT)

Marvel Comics seems to have used Nintendo's property outright rather than simply reference it, which wouldn't be feasible without some licensing agreement occurring. My own doubts on this matter lead me to think there should be copyright information somewhere in this particular Blip issue to prove it. If so, then this page and Vic Video describe officially-endorsed subjects that are covered under MarioWiki:Coverage and should stay; the publication's notability has no bearing on this. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 04:19, June 29, 2021 (EDT)
