[edit] Rainbow Road

Article is likely as large is it'll ever be. And I generally dispute the idea that an individual track from Mario Kart is notable. Locke Cole 03:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Merge into Mario Kart and Delete. —Locke Cole 03:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • See Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. To finish a merge and retain the edit history, one needs to redirect. Merge and delete cannot be combined. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I guess I didn't see the need for a redirect since it's doubtful many people will try to go directly to an article for Rainbow Road. As far as the attribution is concerned, if it becomes an issue the deleted history can still be viewed (with specific information viewable by an admin). In any event, I've modified my suggestion. —Locke Cole 11:21, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • On the Kelly Fleming AFD, it was deleted and recreated as a redirect. Why the edit history wasn't preserved is my question... Hbdragon88 22:32, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Individual track? Either you haven't actually played Mario Kart or you've only played one game in the series. There are multiple Rainbow Roads (each of which is different) and each one is the final course of every game, as the article says. --Evice 04:22, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I've played them all except for the newer Nintendo DS version (haven't had time). The article, as it is now, says all it's pretty much ever going to say. The content there would be more appropriate as a section in Mario Kart. —Locke Cole 04:25, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I added Rainbow Road into the main Mario Kart article because I felt that it was significant enough to be put in the main article anyway. I also put it in because I was thinking about making Bowser's Castle as another article (but have been more hesitant since seeing this go up for AFD. Hbdragon88 05:43, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Make this page a disambig. The phrase "Rainbow Road" is pretty notable, and gets over 100,000 google hits [1]. The page should deffinately mention and link to Mario, but I don't know if that merits it's own page. A couple others that should deffinately be included are the song by Joan Baez [2] (just link to her and/or the album if no article is written about the song) and the book [3].

  • Good research. Uncle G 02:42, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig per Blackcats. KillerChihuahua^?!? 15:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig as above.--Ukdan999 23:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Expand. Perhaps a listing of each Rainbow Road track from each game, with a mention of what was notable about it (or something like that)? Maxistheman 02:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig per Blackcats. Stifle 10:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig. Ditto. SFT | Talk 06:40, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig as per above. Agree with Uncle G, nice work! —Locke Cole 06:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig seems like a good idea to me! --ParkerHiggins 10:08, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
