Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Paper Mario series characters (2nd nomination)
per Wikipedia's policies in favor of listing major characters like these who verifiable through reliable sources, i.e. as as subjects are clearly |notable as demonstrated by the improvements made to the article since nomination, that they come from a recognizable franchise, and the fact that the items on this list can be |verified by |reliable sources as linked within this discussion to Google News and Books.   I did a Google book search and did find some information on development and reception that I http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Paper_Mario_series_characters&diff=304815738&oldid=304569763 added to the article.  There appears to be oodles more on http://news.google.com/archivesearch?pz=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22Paper+Mario%22+characters&cf=all Google News.  So, perhaps expanding the development and reception information would be a good start to build off of my additions.  The series needs an in-depth character list as such articles belong on Wikipedia per our First pillar of being a specialized encyclopedia.  Sincerely
