::::{{@|Arend}} While my response is a bit of a digression from this proposal, I wanted to say that I am accepting the fact that the three proposals are failing (one of mine I even ended opposing, the ''Super Mario'' movie. I was suggested that if one doesn't think a strong enough case for a proposal, then talk page discussion, in the case of the films.) When you listed the Icicle article on the franchise proposal, I reinstated the organization by franchise on that article (for ''Yoshi'', though I can do ''Donkey Kong'' too, just had reserves over ''Diddy Kong Racing'' being an actual ''Donkey Kong''' game, due to Diddy being used in it as a licensed character), and some other pages that I'm finding along the way.

: "''let's remove from historical records [...] encyclopedic mission.''" I find it curious to invoke a notion of "being encyclopedic" as an argument for keeping anything and everything because that's the opposite of real encyclopedia. Encyclopedias are curated. Encyclopedias are '''condensed'''. Encyclopedias shorten quotes, obmit events and historical figures. They are selective in what they write about and what they include. You're never going to see a real encyclopedia advertise itself as listing the name of literally every single person known to be involved in World War II or including every photos know to have been taken in relation to the Nuremberg Trials. Knowing what to leave out is as important to any encyclopedia as defining what to include. Digital hoarding is not necessarily "encyclopedic". --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 19:32, May 12, 2024 (EDT) | : "''let's remove from historical records [...] encyclopedic mission.''"

::I feel as though people are considering this a video game history archive, which is not this site's purpose. If people are concerned about preserving these course icons now that the game is shut down, it doesn't need to be here on this site.

:{{@|Koopa con Carne}} I say this respectfully and in good faith, and I am not signaling you out, as it seems that a few active users share the same sentiment. However, the "spirit" behind that comment bothers me. If readability does not matter, what is the point of having a wiki? What is our purpose?
