replies: text: Imamura, Cuthbert, and Miyamoto worked together on the same team. As long as one doesn't contradict the other, I don't see a problem. In any case it's necessary to get an explicit, reliable, published source to say something (in that the legs are prosthetic) or else it can't be stated on Wikipedia, since simply supposing something from official art would count as Wikipedia:Original research which is expressly forbidden. I'm not having a statement in the article saying "His legs are not prosthetic" - I'm merely removing any statements which says they are prosthetic. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:04, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

text: I must also add, , that Miyamoto clearly addressed the interviewer's question on whether the legs were amputated or whether it was a "design choice" - "design desu" was what he said, and the person translating confirmed this. It's clear that anything about the legs should be excluded from the article; no reliable sources discuss them, and both Cuthbert and Miyamoto say they were not amputated.

replies: text: Why are we having this discussions at all? , that's not how Wikipedia works. You seem to be a fairly new editor, may I suggest you take a moment to read the guidelines? It might be "blatantly obvious" to you, but your own conclusions is not what we can base articles upon. We're talking about a fictional character: what is Fox's fictional backstory? Can you point to a player manual where it says that his legs were amputated? A comic book maybe? Or what do reliable sources say? We've got a custom Google search engine for that. I couldn't find any information on the matter. Until you can prove otherwise, the statements will not be part of the article. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:08, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

text: Agreed. While an editor attached an article from Nintendoeverything.com I can't find anything about its publishing/editorial standards, so it doesn't seem to count. The matter should not be discussed at all in the article unless say Game Informer, Gamepro, or some other major gaming magazine brings it up. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:02, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Nintendoeverything.com is unreliable and has frequently posted incorrect information (numerous issues for Switch game announcements). It should be removed wherever its being used. -- ferret (talk) 14:46, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

text: Context is key. Watch the whole Miyamoto segment from 7:53 and it's clear it's an either-or-question: Miyamoto was asked either metal legs or a design choice ("Speaking of Star Fox's crew[...]do they amputate their legs[...]or is that just a design, is everyone crazy?"). Since he said design, he did not choose the "metal legs" choice. And since they're all on the same team, it's fair to say "the creators" said no. Anyway, as others say, it's a minor aspect of the character. I think a sentence or two is fine but no more than that. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:15, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

text: This is clearly a fan theory (which may or may not have been an internal Nintendo thing back in the 90s - the definitely decided not to roll with it later). However it is a notable fan theory - which would make sense mentioning it, backed up by sources, that it is a fan theory. If a rapper, Quentin Miller, who lost a foot embrace this and even releases a "Falco" mixtape - we can say this umm, has some legs. .Icewhiz (talk) 09:20, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

text: BTW Idazmi added the leg theory stuff all over again - Idazmi, I think it's better to hash it all out on the talk page, then add it later. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:50, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

text: *I'm mostly okay with that - I think the part about Quentin Miller should be moved to the end, or omitted entirely though. I don't think it's good to place it between the other two sentences like that. Sergecross73 msg me 15:56, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

message: I propose to add this page to the category Animal superheroes.
Although McCloud is not a superhero in the typical sense, I observe that characters such as Crash Bandicoot, Sonic and Spyro are also listed there, to whom the same could be argued to apply, and therefore think that it would be sensible to include Fox McCloud on said list.
If there are additional pages for the rest of the Star Fox team, they could also be added to the category, as several other franchises referenced by this category also have multiple characters listed, such as those from the Captain Carrot comics. 2A02:C7D:16D0:4F00:9986:D999:81D9:26A6 (talk) 21:47, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The definition of superhero is "a benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers". Does Fox specifically possess any superhuman powers? ~ P*h3i (📨) 07:11, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

text: On another note, I have created a discussion on the topic of Crash Bandicoot's placement in the category. I have not with Sonic the Hedgehog or Spyro as they possess superhuman powers; abnormally high speed (atypical of a hedgehog) and icy breath (atypical of a dragon). Spyro's argument is weaker although it has some merit. ~ P*h3i (📨) 07:16, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion: Add Fox McCloud to the Animal superheroes category 

message: The lead section of the article describes Fox as the chief protagonist of the Star Fox saga, which I find redundant. I mean, he is already the protagonist, what makes him chief among others? Last time I checked, Star Fox doesn't have multiple and rotating protagonists or an ensemble cast. Yes, Star Fox 2 and Star Fox Command have multiple playable characters but that doesn't mean that Fox is no longer the sole protagonist of the saga. Am I missing something?

thread_title:  Chief protagonist 

message: I think Fox qualifies as high-importance with regards to WP:VG, he was listed in the "Greatest Gaming Icons" magazine and is extremely well-known, if not for Star Fox than for his heavy popularity in Smash. However, since he is listed as one of the mid-tier examples Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Assessment, I thought that I would ask for agreement on this. If people agree, I can change his name to someone else on the table.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:31, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
