Talk:Kirby

Why does this page exist?

I like Kirby as much as the next guy, but the line "However, Kirby has never appeared with Starfy in any game except Super Smash Bros. Brawl." raises questions. Other characters like Link and Marth don't have a page, though Mario does due to his crossovers. Unless there are non-Smash games with both Kirby and Starfy that haven't been added and this page is out of date, why does this page exist? Alex95 (talk) 05:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

That's true. It looks like a regular user created the page in 2009, and the staff kept it but I don't know if we ever established any notability criteria other than the pages being relevant to Starfy in some way. When a lot of people think of Starfy, they also think of Kirby (due to the similarities in style, even though the gameplay is significantly different and the developers are different), but officially they are unrelated. The trivia points on the article (in particular the Hitoshi Yamagami comment) also link them together. He's culturally relevant to Starfy. However, still maybe Kirby shouldn't have his own page but deserves a mention on The Legendary Starfy series fandom (a wanted page) if it is eventually created. --Torchickens (talk) 17:20, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
