Someone add a picture of him- Mr Rex777 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr rex777 (talk • contribs) 23:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
He just really doesn't seem... "major" enough to me. As much as I personally like the character (I get the joke - he's meant to suck), he's only ever appeared in spin-offs... and that's all. There's really not much important to say about him - the article is dominated by the "Reception" section which is basically just whining about how people don't like him as a character. I think he should just be limited to the List of Mario series characters page.
Otherwise, I argue... why shouldn't Princess Daisy have her own page? She's no more important or interesting than Waluigi. One might argue that she's moreso, since she actually appeared in a canon game (Super Mario Land), and was "important" enough to warrant a "baby" character in Mario Kart Wii.
I love Waluigi, and I'd love to see the article stay. But truth is, the article is mainly talking about how much he sucks, and I just don't think there's much to say about him. Anyone got an opinion on this? - Arran64 (talk), 11:16, 09 April 2012 (GMT).
Hey Arran64, remember when you said " I love Waluigi, and I'd love to see the article stay"? I love Waluigi too! And that's because he is funny and if he is taken out of games it will break my heart. But your right, most of it just says how much he isn't appreciated. And he doesn't need his o w n article. That's just wrong. He is n o t a main character.

I would normally have said " of course he deserves his own article you dinguses" but having read your points, I am now torn. This is tough..... I'm going to say he does. He may only appear in spinoffs, but he is still a core Mario character and that's that. MarioFyreFlower (talk) 18:59, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Someone posted here, as well as at Wario, that, apparently, Mike Judge has taken over the role as voice actor for Waluigi...is this true? Because I googled it and found squat... Black Yoshi (talk) 20:50, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
In the article, the word fictional is inside double quotes... I'm pretty sure Waluigi doesn't exist. Is there a specific reason for the quotes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.73.0.154 (talk) 08:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
I saw at the bottom of the page there was a Wario series thing. Waluigi was never in a Wario game (that wasn't customizable).
In Waluigi's words:
"WAAAAAAAAAAAA! Wario never invites me on his adventures. I think his series would be better if it had a 2-player mode. WAAAAA" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.228.226.153 (talk) 01:44, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
I think it should be mentioned in the Reception section that Waluigi's absense in Mario Kart 7 was actually lamented by fans and gamers. 121.218.40.156 (talk) 08:28, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
You have Kotaku references and that site's a fricken joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.150.32 (talk) 05:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Since nowadays Waluigi has a much more positive reception ( and some of the sites in reception are jokes ) i have added more content to the article by adding more characteristics and including positives articles, so it´s even the amount of articles that hate him, and those who love. I did this because i did not wish for the reception entry to be longer. If i added the positive articles i intended it would be huge, so i added those and cut a few negative ones. I wish for the page to remain that way

in Mario kart tour Waluigi in his bus driver outfit is wearing the Scottish tartan for the Stewart clan leading me to believe that Waluigi's full name is Waluigi Stewart as in Scotland the tartan you wear is based on your last name. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/808836964773789716/811670965712191578/unknown.png here's a link to a photo comparing the tartan to waluigi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Floper69 (talk • contribs) 18:51, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Please describe that the logo of waluigi depicts a Greek letter in more detail of Gamma where it says “The symbol "Γ" on Waluigi's hat and gloves is used to represent him in many games”
It’s not that clear it needs an adjective such as the “Greek letter”. Only clicking on the link will give you the information. We should say it’s equivalent to the Greek letter. We should mention it on the article.
There seems to be something of an edit-war going on to color the infobox purple (as opposed to INFOBOX colored). I think the purple is an improvement. We have the parameter, and the color association is well-sourced. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 18:47, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

i would like to add a picture 67.204.186.107 (talk) 16:50, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Hate to be a buzzkill about this @Miguelsxvi and @TheOE07, but I really doubt that Etymologynerd’s TikTok is a good citation. Partly because of WP:VIDEOREF and WP:SPSSELF, but also because the TikTok in question only puts forward as a hypothetical that this could be the IPA spelling, and not that it is for definite.
I think what would be better is if the sentence was just “He makes the sound ‘waaa!’” Or something to that effect, but I wanted to check here. Again, don’t want to be annoying about this, just felt I should say. Slamforeman (talk) 22:30, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: @Fieryninja: Promoted to GA on 2/5, and spot checking sources shows no issues. That being said, the GA review is improper (The lead is a bit short, broadness isn't met) This appears to have been a rubber stamped review and a discussion on User talk:Begocc and Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations shows that the GA status is likely to be revoked since it was done improperly.

I'll take this review. Waah! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Waluigi's appearance was designed...: This sentence should be split in two
(gamma)→
(an upside-down "L")
evil-lookingis subjective - stick to neutral descriptors unless quoting a source.
His original role was to be the tennis partner of Wario, but their relationship is ambiguous.: move this to the middle of the next paragraph
In various Mario sports games...: split this sentence in two
After Mario Party 3, he returned as a playable character in every subsequent game in the Mario Party series,: remove the comma after
seriesand move citation to the end of the sentence.
Done I think all of the above are fixed, but let me know if I have missed anything. Thanks for reviewing. Fieryninja (talk) 12:57, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
