Talk:List of Donkey Kong characters

message: Why is Kazooie listed in the racing characters section when she didn't appear in Diddy Kong Racing?  Also I thought we decided not to mention Conker and Banjo in this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diddy kong country23 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Rare charactes

message: Someone wrote that BK stands for this, and that it's a character. Where's this one from again, the animated series or something? Tyciol (talk) 17:59, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Baby Kong]]

message: Neither article currently establishes notability. Diddy Kong may have some potential, but unless someone actually wishes to work on it, it would be best to merge it here until such a time. K. Rool doesn't have any real chance of being improved, though. TTN (talk) 18:25, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Diddy has appeared in too many non-Donkey Kong games for this to be a viable sole home for him, regardless of the status of his article.  Best to leave it alone.  And while *every* article has a chance to be improved, K. Rool *could* work here if his text can be brought into reasonable amount without losing information.

replies: text: TTN has a point, neither of the articles have any reception/cultural impact. I support the merge.--ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:45, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I do think they could possibly use some cuts, but they are both very notable. Diddy has been in almost every DK game, even having a few of his own games, and being a playable character in Brawl. and K. Rool is the main antagonist of most of the games. There has to be something on them out there. Blake (Talk·Edits) 21:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Could agree on some deadline for people that significantly want to keep the article to find some sources for notability, and if none are found to merge. How's a week sound for both? Can we agree on that?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:51, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No deadline is necessary.  If consensus to merge is not reached, they do not merge.  Improve the articles by all means (again, Diddy should be easier than K. Rool), but there are no deadlines here. Rhindle The Red (talk) 17:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But saying "they must exist" is not a valid option either, but thus far that's been the whole point of the reason to keep here. Why not see if they can be proven to satisfy notability and then go ahead?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:19, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: The NFCC issues here appear to me to mirror the issues being discussed at the NFCC talk page, and should be reslved in the same way. The underlying issue is simple: when use of a single image is considered acceptable in a stand-alone article on a subject, does the use become unacceptable when several such stand-alone articles are combined, based on editorial judgement, into a more general article, such as a list, with essentially identical content.

thread_title:  We oughta unmerge Diddy Kong 

message: Yeah, Swanky Kong is missing from this list, is there any reason for it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.245.68.31 (talk) 22:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about Swanky Kong, why is he not added? 

message: Why isn't there a section for Cranky Kong? He has a bigger role than most others on the list, yet I don't see his name. 12.73.212.29 (talk) 02:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  I'm confused... 

message: The non-existent character "Jaking Kong" has been added to, and subsequently deleted from, this page three times by IP user 123.198.8.94. A quick Google Search can show that no such Kong exists. I'm not well-versed in how Wikipedia handles these sorts of things, but I felt it was a good thing to bring up. 207.118.93.169 (talk) 06:02, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism Warning 

message: This article contradicts itself in the relationship between Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr.
First, the things I am taking as fact from the article: Cranky Kong is the Donkey Kong from the original arcade game. Donkey Kong Jr. is the son of the original Donkey Kong.
The article states that the current DK is Cranky's grandson, but then goes on to state that the current DK is DK Jr. grown up. DK can't be both DK Jr. and his son. Whoops, forgot to sign. eyeball226 (talk) 15:00, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradictions in the article 

message: Donkey Kong (current) is not a retcon of the original Donkey Kong. The original Donkey Kong became older and became Cranky Kong, while the new Donkey Kong is a  character. E to the Pi times i (talk | contribs) 23:16, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

message: With the Super Mario Bros. Movie slated to release in 1 month, would it be appropriate to include descriptions of the Kongs’ appearances in the film here on this article? Aside from Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong, photos show Diddy, Dixie, Funky, and Swanky making cameos in the scene where Mario and Donkey Kong battle in an arena. Thoughts?
