Talk:Kirby (series)

message: Kirby, a villager in Pupupuland, arrived on Planet Popstar when his rocket ship broke down, causing him to wake up and arrive at Pupupuland 200 years before schedueled. In the TV show, which is called Hoshii no Kaabii, kirby is usually found beating demon beasts sent out by Dedede, eating, or sleeping. In one person's opinion, he sleeps so much because he was supposed to be sleeping for 200 years. His friends are Bun and Fumu, childeren of the Cabinet Minister. His enemy's are usually demon beasts that are purchased and sent out by Dedede to destroy him. He is usally a peaceful creature, but sometimes causes a rukess by annoying the other villagers.
:So are you trying to say the the anime is a prequel series to the actual video games? ... You know, that could make some sense if you took some liberties. 208.101.173.66 15:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I remember, in Kirby's Rainbow Resort, that a Kirby game was planned where Kirby would be depicted as much younger. I think it was "Kirby Kids" or something, and I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be for SNES. I guess it would be a prequel to Kirby's Dream Land, or an alternate continuity or something. Now, I don't have an immediate source on it other than Kirby Warrior mentioned it at least once, I think. I know this is the same place that also started the whole "Nightmare possessed Meta Knight" rumor at around the same time, but I think this should be looked into. 208.101.173.66 15:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I propose merging List of Kirby media into Kirby (series). I think the content in List of Kirby media can easily be explained in the context of Kirby (series), and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Kirby (series).~ Arkhandar (message me) 10:55, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I like having a list of all the games with some information for each to quickly ascertain aspects about each like the release dates and other information. However, it would not be a huge qualm were the list merged as you suggest. ButterCashier (talk) 11:10, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

text: I find separate lists with quick facts more convenient than having to scroll through everything else on series articles. And the Kirby series is one of the series with a sizeable list of media. Of course it can, but should it? WP:SIZERULE applies here. -Vipz (talk) 12:44, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose – The list format fits better as a separate article compared to the prose history of the series article (we could/should probably remove the incomplete list from the series article, though) DecafPotato (talk) 21:45, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose - For the reasons above. Not to mention that the Games section in this article is just a duplicate of List of Kirby media. ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Comment - I was the user who originally brought the List of Kirby media article to FLC back in 2008, so I don't think it's my place to !vote in this matter. One note here is that the general rule of thumb I've seen (a long time ago, may be out of date now) is that a list with more than ten items generally can be split out for this kind of thing -- if we were to re-incorporate all of this information back into this article, it would be needlessly overlong (it seems like the incomplete list of games on this page would reinforce that this content would absolutely destroy the main article here). I'm inclined to keep this and other video game series of similar length separate. Nomader (talk) 23:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
