I spent hours yesterday taking a look at everything that the wiki decided they don't want over the years, as well as some things I remember from memory and looking at the recent changes daily. I'm certain there's more, but my main focus was the proposals & talk page proposals: https://pastebin.com/r6wnK0k4 . not included in the list are merges of things that are obviously the same but are differently named between appearances (like some Paper Mario series items).

:A merge is not a deletion, it's a re-organisation, and you'd be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive Super Mario encyclopedia than SMW. It's also not always a bad thing, often being better for organisation, consistency, etc., and I fail to get behind the logic of "if it's technically possible to argue that it's different then it's different" - it's basically just a "first come first served" philosophy where anyone happening to make a separate article is all it takes to permanently keep it separate no matter the logistics. Not to mention there are ''plenty'' of split proposals still, and plenty of disagreement between users on proposals both passed and failed, making it a little hard for me to see where you're coming from with your sinister characterisation of the "Super Mergist Wiki" (besides the obvious bias involved). To say nothing of your weird tendency to portray disagreements as some kind of "East vs. West" thing even when they have nothing to do with regional differences.<br>That said though, nice list.

::Thank you for complimenting the list, even in spite of some disagreements one may have. The main point of it wasn't really to antagonize the Super Mario Wiki (although it inevitably is that, seeing as it still has a comprehensive list of personal disagreements that I have with articles they either deleted or handled in ways). Basically, the main point is to show why I'm unprepared to be directly in charge of any community-based wiki with encyclopedic content a la SMW or Wikipedia (Mariopedia is diff bcuz someone else founded it), whereas this wiki allows for some more silliness (as I think as conveyed within the articles). I remember the days of being a part of the community, figuring things out with other editors. Now me and them can't see eye to eye on anything. So there's stuff that has a major chance of not flying by a community, such as full ''Super Mario'' franchise coverage on a Donkey Kong wiki, the mainline ''Super Mario'' series and ''Mario Kart 8'' on a Zelda wiki, or even full coverage of the NES furniture games on an Animal Crossing wiki, masterpiece items on an SSB wiki (at least based on what's in the demo, if the timer were to be theoretically absent). One could say, "Well, maybe you're doing something wrong," but as I've grown older, I can't help but be insistent on some of the ideas I just listed (to name a few). See how it's kind of tough for me and why I don't say much nowadays? :P
::Oh, I nearly forgot I named "Super Mergist Wiki" above. I thought it was an inside nickname between me and some of the Mariopedia folks. :P [[User:Bawitdaba|Bawitdaba]] ([[User talk:Bawitdaba|talk]]) 17:23, January 3, 2024 (UTC)
