How is this necessary? This is just a list of generic sheep with no actual purpose in any of the games they appear in, which I'm pretty sure violates MarioWiki:Generic subjects.

While I agree sheep don't have any significant purpose in the games listed here, there are sheep in Super Mario Odyssey, where they're found in Tostarena and might even serve a more important role this time around (if I recall correctly, one Tostarenan asks Mario to return his sheep to him). Would it be best to wait until the game's release to make this proposal? Mario JC 07:01, 12 August 2017 (EDT)

Didn't know about that, thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, I'll put this on hold until there's more info about their role in SMO. Niiue (talk) 07:18, 12 August 2017 (EDT)

"A bunch of generic sheep appear in certain games! Isn't that interesting?"

Yeah.

A lot of this article fails the generic subjects policy. We already have articles for "specialized sheep" such as the Lamb's Lure, Sheep Attack, Snooze Ewes, Falling Asheep, Shear Terror, and the like. Really, the only "sheep" that serves a merit here are the sheep from Super Mario Odyssey, as they are beings you can actually interact with and actually herd to obtain Power Moons. None of the other sections should be allowed to stay.

So, shall we shear this article?

Herd it up and then shear it

1. Toadette the Achiever (talk) I've got shearing scissors, why not use them?
2. Waluigi Time (talk) Per proposal, this article is baaad.
3. BBQ Turtle (talk) Per all of the bad sheep puns.
4. Niiue (talk) Per all.

Let it roam free

1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) "Smithy, the resistance has been turning all our soldiers into sheep!" I think SMRPG should count; I also feel that the stampedes from the early PM games should count as well.

Comments

@Doc von Schmeltwick: I don't see what makes those two instances of sheep any more important than the other ones that would be cut with this proposal. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 19:49, 20 November 2018 (EST)

After reading the article again, I suppose the SMRPG one could stay, but I don't think the PM ones need to. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 20:03, 20 November 2018 (EST)

Even relating to items specifically, it's actual gameplay significance. To the idea of not having it, I give this faceMedia:SheepattackSMRPG.png. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:17, 20 November 2018 (EST)
