Talk:Sword

Splitting

 * 1) Support: We don't have pages like "Fist", "Spear", "Staff", "Whip", so why have a sword page? Just make individual pages for each unrelated sword (where more explanation can be given) like we've been doing for pretty much everything else.
 * 2) Oppose: I'd honestly be fine seeing this page go, but the only sword I can see having a page outside of this is the Master Sword for its role in A Super Mario World. Aside from that I have no desire for anything else to get its own barebones page. --CrazyNaut (talk) 19:02, March 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose: Having selected pages for all swords in the game, let alone articles for other types of weapons, isn't something we should aim for, the general character articles can give a brief mention of the sword without going into further detail, in fact, I gotta admit I don't even like the idea of having this article at all because, as Gregory Naruto pointed out, it's way too discriminative to have an article dedicated to swords and not for other types of weapons but that's a discussion for other day. --Ak-Un.PNG BYLL  EL  WYLL  Ak-Un.PNG 04:45, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose: Like the other two admins who commented above, I'd be okay with this page's deletion, for reasons cited above. Splitting it is also a bad idea. However, CrazyNaut raised the point that discussing the Master Sword specifically might be important, and I agree with his reasoning. This brings me to the rename proposal in the section below...

Rename proposal

 * 1) Support: The Master Sword is an important object for the lore in A Super Mario World, which means it warrants its own page, I'd say. Said new page would overlap with the content in this page, and we all agree that the "Sword" page as-is isn't exactly a great page, so the Master Sword page could and should replace it, in my opinion.
