While I'm kinda shocked the article on Boos is this poorly referenced, the reception is entirely cited to listicles and content farm type spam articles. If people want more minute detail on Boos, the Mario Wiki has way more of that. However, as it is, this article fails WP:GNG and uses mainly trivial or primary sources. Characters in the Mario franchise is a good potential merge target. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge generally in-depth coverage of fictional subjects with little notability outside of their franchise or discussion beyond get covered on the respective wikis. WesSirius (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:36, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per above; if someone wants to recreate this with better sourcing then they easily can per WP:PRESERVE. Dronebogus (talk) 00:48, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge As per the nomination. Charsaddian (talk) 09:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again, no actual deletion rationale was provided for the OP's AfD nomination, but I support the notion to merge some of the article's contents into the relevant entry for Characters in the Mario franchise. Haleth (talk) 01:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wish I could vote rescue. This could be notable, but someone needs to add some good sources. For now, I guess the merge's have it... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:26, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Since there is more than one character named Boo, this page should be moved to Boo (Mario) before closing this AfD, and the current title redirected to Boo#Fictional_characters as WP:INCOMPDAB. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:43, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. While the subject doesn’t quite satisfy WP:GNG criteria for a standalone article, there is a strong case for merging per WP:PRESERVE. Shawn Teller (talk) 02:36, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
