Bowser Jr. article

I would have to argue that Bowser Jr. Really deserves his own dedicated page. He's been the secondary antagonist of the Mario series ever since Sunshine, and has also appeared in numerous Mario spin-off games and even Super Smash Bros. He also has plenty of reliable sources avaliable nowadays. He's not just some character, He's the secondary villain of the Mario series, and arguably one of the most well-known villains in video games. 2605:B100:14B:3A30:916:ACF0:FB98:B179 (talk) 02:56, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. You are more than welcome to write up a WP:DRAFT article for Bowser Jr with all the reliable sources are you mentioning, including those that back up the claims ("one of the most well-known villains in video games") you are making. If it meets the requirements of WP:NOTABILITY and reliable sources, then it could be accepted. ThomasO1989 (talk) 19:39, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But not otherwise. The last thing WP needs is yet another article on a fictional character that is already adequately covered in a list. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 15:43, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Japanese translations for names

Since the Mario franchise originiated from Japan, it would be helpful to include Japanese names. Ca ^{talk to me!} 14:15, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SMcCandlish Ca ^{talk to me!} 14:17, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes? I don't speak/read Japanese, so I'm not in a position to do this. I would agree that it's a good idea because various material in the franchise is Japan-only releases, which means that fans of the series who track down such releases are going to be exposed to Japanese character names, and apt to wonder which ones (if any) they correspond to in NA/EUR or world releases. Cf. Geralt of Rivia, etc.: Polish franchise, so original Polish names also given. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 15:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
