Not sure what you mean but I assume you were misunderstanding my comment because I wasn't clear. I don't like the fact that a character in Wii Fit is notable but I suspect it is.
I didn't - and don't now - make any comment about the good faith of the nom, those who edited the page or anyone else involved.

Hilariously before doing this I thought maybe there might've been something for all the um, well, porn the character's female counterpart had gotten, but even that was a dud after searching.--

Keep: Per Oinkers42. It's also worth mentioning that Wii Fit Trainer is not well-known outside of Super Smash Bros., hence coverage mostly pertaining to that is natural.

There is nothing to merge, it'll just be deleted/redirected. The reception section is large and shows enough reliable sources have written about this character. Enough valid content to have its own article, no sense eliminating that for a brief mention in another article.

I'm not following any of this. What do you mean there's "nothing to merge"? And its been almost a full week and you still haven't provided your
WP:THREE. I'm honestly surprised this was relisted with such vague rationales being thrown out here.

You won't merge anything, you will just put a redirect to it. You couldn't fit all the valid content from this article over into the other one, it'd be too long.
WP:Three is just an essay, and the creator of it actually commented on how people were misusing it. I see no reason for me to copy over the Reception section here, and point to the various things said about the character from reliable sources. Those who read the article either agree that's significant coverage in reliable sources, thus it meets the general notability guidelines, or they argue that doesn't count because the coverage is only about their appearance in one video game, which is not a valid reason to delete it. Nowhere is their any rule something has to be covered for multiple things.

That isn't what I said. Not sure where you got that from. There is enough to preserve in this article, it too much to fit in the other article.

Merges don't require all 100% all information to be integrated, and you know that, so I don't know where you're going with this. This is not some complex scenario. It would be very easy to merge some of this video game character's article into its respective video game. It's a
personal trainer who got put into a crossover fighting game. Pretty straightforward.

Sure, THREE is an essay, but it's certainly telling that, after multiple requests, (that you've clearly shown that you've seen) haven't provide any examples of good sources providing significant coverage. That's not exactly how experienced editors act when they've got good sources that prove notability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Divided between those arguing to Keep this article and those advocating a Merger. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!19:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)reply
Redirect and merge to
Wii Fit. I feel a majority of the voters above aren't providing very insightful rationale. However, this character, outside of Smash Bros, isn't notable and personally I don't see the impact this character would have regardless of its inclusion in Smash Bros. So, I suggest that it would be better off with a redirect to the main game with a section for the Smash Bros stuff. A redirect on the List can go to this section too.

Weak merge some info to
Wii Fit - Although some stuff in this article, such as her conception as an SSB character and popularity as a character among women, is absolutely worthy of coverage, it could easily be made into one to three paragraphs in the Legacy section of the Wii Fit article, and it would arguably work better there rather than being supported by a scaffold of trivia and fluff. ― novovtc08:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)reply
