Does Rosalina REALLY need her own article?

[edit]

She's honestly not important to the overall Mario franchise. She only appears in Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart, but nowhere else. Is it really significant for her to have her own wikipedia article when other characters who had more involvement in the general Marioverse like Petey Piranha are relegated to the List of Mario series Characters? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.244.58 (talk) 21:37, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How your doing? 2601:586:CE00:13F0:AC13:D379:870A:E566 (talk) 22:30, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes she does. Other Mario characters appear even less than Rosalina does in the franchise, and they have their own pages. Dr. Precursor (talk) 22:43, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like Birdo, for example. Dr. Precursor (talk) 15:53, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move Rosalina back to the List of Mario characters list.

[edit]

She doesn't do anything of true significance in Mario Galaxy 1, and she does even less in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and both Mario Karts. She doesn't deserve her own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.212.25.102 (talk) 17:39, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes she does. There are plenty of articles of Mario characters who do less in the games than Rosalina. Dr. Precursor (talk) 22:42, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think her name is actually Princess Rosalina, so you can add her name to make her Princess Rosalina if you wish to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.6.155.19 (talk) 13:43, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Her name is actually Princess Rosalina.

[edit]

Her name is actually Princess Rosalina, to be exact.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:c7f:242e:4800:184a:c4aa:b985:712a (talk • contribs) 30th September 2021 (UTC)

Do you have a source? --ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:04, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Has it ever been confirmed by official Japanese sources that Rosalina is a princess? To my knowledge only English-speaking sources, specifically the PRIMA Official Game Guide for Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the American websites for Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D All-Stars, have called her a princess so far. I should also point out that the UK site for 3D All-Stars doesn’t name her Princess Rosalina either, seems like it is just Nintendo of America who do all this.--194.71.19.190 (talk) 06:44, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other known sources that supports the "princess status" include the Super Mario Official Sticker Book (page 43 shows the text "Princess Power Trio!", and Rosalina, Peach, and Daisy), the time Rosalina's voice actress called her one on her own website, the 2014 Mario Kart 8 Direct presentation (it was the Baby version to be more specific), and the 3DS app Swapdoodle where there is a purchasable Nintendo lesson pack called "Super Mario Princesses and Pals", which features lessons for drawing several Mario characters. When taking a Rosalina lesson, Nikki stated that she's a "mysterious girl who travels through space". But in a Daisy lesson, when completed, Nikki will say "Daisy is done! Draw her with Rosalina and Peach for a fun princess party! ☆".

Of course there are counter-arguments here; the SM Official Sticker Book is an "officially Nintendo-licensed" book published by Random House, so just like with PRIMA, there are some errors or inaccuracies. Rosalina's VA calling her one was not in the website's current revision (also no offense to the voice actress but I doubt she would know any more than we do at the moment), the 2014 MK8 Direct was from Nintendo of America, and the Swapdoodle lessons are arguably not quite explicit in categorizing Rosalina as a princess plus I dunno if that royalty part is specifically mentioned or not in the JP version.

The way I see it this is another issue of regional depictions. To my knowledge, Nintendo of Japan usually if not always refer Rosalina as a "Mysterious Woman" or something along those lines, and has never called her a princess or being of royalty within or outside the games. I dunno about Nintendo of Europe but its clearly Nintendo of America who considered her a princess from the start, reconfirming this in subsequent material.

In fairness though the "mysterious woman" title doesn't necessarily contradict referrals that she could be a princess, and it does seem like NoJ have no problem with allowing western media to referring Rosalina as one, you think they would have interfered a long time ago if so. In anycase until NoJ confirms or deconfirms any potential royal status I do think this article should refrain from the princess title.158.174.220.215 (talk) 15:20, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rosalina (Mario) → Rosalina (Nintendo) – We don't have Jill Biden's article at Jill Biden (Joe Biden), so how does this article get to be marked with a male she is associated with?? Georgia guy (talk) 22:56, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support both Bowser and Pauline use Nintendo over Mario though I don’t see the Jill Biden example as apt since Mario in this case is referring to the Mario franchise not the character of the same name.--65.92.163.98 (talk) 23:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support ...OPPOSE (see below): It would make sense for it to match with other Mario-franchise characters like Toad (Nintendo) and Pauline (Nintendo). Also, while I too am a feminist, the reason "Mario" is in the title is because it's the name of the franchise from which Rosalina originates (not because it's the name of an associated character). Nonetheless, it should probably be consistent with those other pages. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:46, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Depending on how this goes there may be a case for considering a move request of Link (The Legend of Zelda) to Link (Nintendo).--65.92.163.98 (talk) 23:50, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
...update: OPPOSE - Actually, thinking about it, it seems Toad (Nintendo) and Pauline (Nintendo) are exceptions. It looks like the reason they're at those titles is because those two are also prominent in spinoff franchises. Toad is prominent in the Captain Toad spinoff franchise, and Pauline is the then-unnamed lady in the first Donkey Kong. That's probably why. If Bowser wasn't the primary topic for "Bowser (character)", it would probably be at "Bowser (Mario)". Thus, I've changed my vote to Oppose. @Ortizesp, RicardoNixon97, and Iffy: Thoughts?

– Primary topic, more than the nickname, and most famous. 109.78.145.240 (talk) 16:43, 28 May 2023 (UTC) Rosalina (Mario) → Rosalina[reply]

Rosalina → Rosalina (disambiguation) The only explination is that the disambiguation was made before she followed WP:N, because there’s NO WAY that the nickname is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and none of the other stuff are more famous. 109.78.145.240 (talk) 20:07, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rosalina does not need her own article.

[edit]

If Bowser Junior and Diddy Kong can't keep their Wikipedia articles than Rosalina should not have hers remain when she's less important overall than both of them. 98.109.57.211 (talk) 20:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is silly. Stop trying to take down other articles because you are unable to make articles for other characters. It's just disruptive whining. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:59, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Listen, I understand that these are liked characters and let it be known that as soon as we have the necessary reception for either character such as Rosalina here, we'll be sure to recreate their articles. But as it stands, we cannot create the articles for them right now as their is not a lot of reported commentary of the characters. And going to other articles that indeed have said commentary and claiming they should remain on the website does nothing to help your cause for these characters. It's just unnecessary to waste your energy on this. That is all. CaptainGalaxy 21:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rosalina has a lot about her on the Internet. She deserves to have an article. Dr. Precursor (talk) 22:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Think about Birdo. If she can have an article, I don't see why Rosalina can't. Dr. Precursor (talk) 15:54, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rosalina (Mario) → Princess Rosalina – Could work per WP:NATDAB, just like Princess Peach and Princess Daisy. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 13:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above. Unlike Peach and Daisy, which frequently uses the Princess descriptor, Rosalina's uses of it, if at all, are few and far between. This clearly isn't a common name nor her most notable designator, and I feel the current title more than suffices. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:06, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Unlike Daisy or Peach, she is very rarely called the princess title within official media and definitely not in secondary sources, which simply refer to her as "Rosalina". It's not a common name either given Pokelego999's observation above. Turtletennisfogwheat (talk) 08:09, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
