How is this level special?? Did its creator want to create individual articles for all 32 levels of Super Mario Bros?? Georgia guy (talk) 17:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't think there's any intent to create an article for each level of SMB, but there is clear sourcing that shows how studied the design of World 1-1 was and its legacy for video games. At worst, this could be merged to Super Mario Bros.. --MASEM (t) 18:33, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The first level of the first game of a long-running video game series often sees plenty of coverage from third party sources. See Green Hill Zone as well. I'd probably support deletion of your average, run of the mill level, but these first off ones get special attention it seems. Sergecross73 msg me 19:01, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep One of the most known video game levels from the game that saved the industry. Easily passes GNG in my opinion Seasider91 (talk) 19:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as creator. This level is basically legendary at this point. It has left a lasting impression on the video game industry as a whole, which the article clearly communicates. ~Mable (chat) 20:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep It's not only one of the most iconic levels in gaming, but the sources provided already are enough to be notable. GamerPro64 22:13, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep One of the most well known levels, very notable. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 23:45, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A well-known level. With sufficient coverage from third party sources, I think World 1-1 should be suited as a stand-alone article. -- Hounder4 00:36, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - This has sufficient information to justify a separate article. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 02:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
