Talk:Master Hand

Well, the Master Hand is difficult to beat in Brawl if his crazy dude is there. But, I want to see him in the Kirby game version! MetalKnight 01:41, 28 January 2011 (CST)

Merge

I propose to merge this page and Crazy Hand into Master Hand & Crazy Hand. First of all, per Article creation policy states "For the sake of brevity and not to artificially inflate the wiki's article count, articles should be mostly unique in the subjects they cover, and should not largely tread the same ground as other articles. As an example, the tag-team boss Pon & Con have an article which discusses both of them along with other aspects of their boss fight. Given that neither Pon, Con, or their children are ever seen or interacted with separately, it is not appropriate to create a page for Pon, another for Con, etc." and I can definitely say this article qualifies for it. Master Hand had appeared with Crazy Hand in every Kirby game he was in sans Triple Deluxe, but that was cameo and not actual appearance. In Amazing Mirror, they also fight identically, making the situation more similar akin to Pon & Con. This also applies to Smash Bros. games, where Crazy Hand appeared in a boss fight without Master Hand for the first time just recently in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Second, from this Dedede Directory we have "宙に浮く不気味なボス「マスターハンド＆クレイジーハンド」！", confirming this is their official name (in bold). I rest my case here. Superbound (talk) 14:22, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

I see nothing wrong with that. Crazy Hand is only fought when together with Master Hand in AM so per Article creation policy it does not warrant its own page similary to how Lalala is only fought in company of Lololo, therefore both being merged in Lololo & Lalala.

I suppose this is fair for consistency's sake. Go ahead and merge, but make sure to get all the links, too. --Samwell (talk) 16:02, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

I've seen Viper having some objections on Discord, shouldn't we wait for more people to vote? Superbound (talk) 12:30, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

These articles talk about the characters, while their stage/room pages (in this case Candy Constellation - Boss) are there for consistency - which in return creates repetition for one-off bosses - supposed to briefly summarize stages/rooms themself, but that is where this pair-boss' fight is also described. I think it should be okay to do such a merge (imo in a way that one section is for Master Hand as Mid-Boss, and the other section for both as a Boss). —Viperision (talk) 11:22, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Okay then, I'll start merging them soon enough. Superbound (talk) 12:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
