Article about trivial, third-party GameCube software with no assertion of notability. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 04:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' relevant information to [[Nintendo GameCube]]. As an aside, 'warp pipe' redirects to this article. Seeing as 'warp pipe' is a plausible search term, a redirect might be in order. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 08:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

**Further, while it may not be relevant to the AfD process, interested editors might find it interesting that a disambiguation page for the term 'warp pipe' was redirect to the aforementioned article. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 08:21, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' - I'm [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22warp+pipe%22 seeing] a bunch of stuff come up, though I cannot and will not vouch for any for the sake of [[WP:RS]] which is what is required for [[WP:N]]. Also, Warp pipe should probably be redirected to [[Mario (series)#Recurring gameplay elements]]... --[[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 01:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' for reasons above. -- [[User:Mister Alcohol|<span style="font-family:Brush Script MT; color:red; font-size:large;">MISTER ALCOHOL</span>]] [[User talk:Mister Alcohol|^{<span style="color:blue;">''T'' </span>}]][[Special:Contributions/Mister Alcohol|^{<span style="color:blue;">''C'' </span>}]] <span style="color:orange;">03:19, 2 <span style="font-variant:small-caps">January</span> 2009 (UTC)</span>

*'''Comment''' Expanding on Izno's thought, it might be better to just reestablish Warp Pipe as a disambiguation page and link it to [[Mario (series)#Recurring gameplay elements]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]] respectively. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 22:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

:Is there really any need for that? It seems a bit trivial, linking no full article. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 00:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

::True. Just seems to me that Warp Pipe is a plausible search term for a few things. Might be better to just redirect Warp Pipe to the aforementioned section on Mario, and add a 'Warp Pipe redirects here, if you're etc, etc, etc' love note to the start of the section. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 21:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

*'''Stubify''' - Content is unverified, but external links contain two reasonable interviews. Propose stripping content down to stub, and leave open for expansion using these sources, per [[WP:V]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 19:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

*'''Keep, stubbify, etc.''' - Those news articles look pretty good. Merging is not a good idea because it's a separate entity whose scope differs from that of the Nintendo GameCube article. [[User:SharkD|SharkD]] ([[User talk:SharkD|talk]]) 01:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
