Procedural nomination after closing Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 17 § Super Mario 3 Special as "restore and send to AfD". Some ancient history:
- Prodded 31 August 2006 (3 minutes after creation) by RobJ1981
- Converted to merge proposal to Super Mario Bros. Special (itself BLAR'd to Super Mario Bros. § Super Mario Bros. Special by Abryn in 2009) by SNS 25 minutes later
- After the creator and one other opposed on talk, 216.43.51.147 removed the merge proposal on 3 September 2006. (N.B. That was the only edit ever made by the user concurring on talk.)

BLAR'd to
Super Mario Bros. 3 by
A Man In Black on 15 October 2006 with rationale
One of countless HK specials, no real notability, redirecting
- After 8 months of edit-warring, things settled on maintaining that redirect
The RfD close should be read as consensus against redirecting to Super Mario Bros. 3. I bring to AfD the question of whether this article should be kept, deleted, or redirected/merged to some other target. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 21:53, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete not notable and isn’t and will never be covered in the Super Mario Bros. 3 article. This is also not a commonly used alternate name for Mario 3 so a redirect is unnecessary.-- 65.92.162.81 ( talk) 01:14, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Not sure if this is a vanity article, but it definitely does not meet WP:GNG. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - Not independently notable, not likely to be mentioned at the redirect target any time soon considering the lack of reliable sourcing. Not particularly likely to change any time soon, considering its unofficial, obscure, and old. Sergecross73 msg me 16:42, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Not notable, and im not sure if writing about piracy materials is allowed on wp.

- Eh.... I"d say that's more of a bootleg version of Sonic than an actual pirated version. ―

- Not entirely sure of the distinction you're trying to make here, but regardless, yes, it's fine write about illegal things, just as long isn't linking to illegal things through sourcing, external links, etc. Sergecross73 msg me 02:04, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

- Delete: No reliable sources within the article. Most likely fails notability. Despite that we are allowed to write articles about pirated versions of video games as long they pass notability. Pizzaplayer219 Talk Contribs 16:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, no sources at all in the article, non-notable since it seems to just be a bootleg version of the game for Gameboy that basically no one knows about. Had a template saying it exists on Wikiquote which I deleted since it does not exist on Wikiquote (it wouldn't have any reason to anyways, it's a video game, there are no quotes really). ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:13, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
