Reception for the Hammer Bro's is absolutely terrible and sourced mainly to listicles. I don't believe there's a single reference in the article that is WP:SIGCOV. There's no reason they cannot be merged into Characters in the Mario franchise. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:26, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge - Mostly an unsourced listing of game appearance and a reception section of the most mundane passing-mention coverage imaginable. Current coverage doesn't come close to meeting the GNG, nor would one expect to find much out there, as it's just a run of the mill minor game character.

Merge Wikipedia is not a directory of minor video game enemies. Dronebogus (talk) 00:50, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge many of these minor enemies are sourced to the same brief listicles. Treating them in the same Wikipedia article would do a better job following the sources, instead of splitting and stretching them with unsourced information. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:10, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge some of the article's contents into the relevant entry for Characters in the Mario franchise. Since a clear-cut solution, an appropriate merge target, was actually provided instead of a deletion rationale, not sure why the OP insists that it has to go to AfD in lieu of a bold merge or merge discussion.

• Comment. Don't we have lower hanging fruit to deal with? I mean, this is stretching notability, but there are some meh-so-so sources that are in theory INDEPTH... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:27, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  It's a minor NPC character who's entire concept is easily summarized as "Turtle that throws hammers." This is about as low hanging as it gets... Sergecross73 msg me 01:48, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
