Recently my page for Goombas was deleted because they are "generic, mook-type enemies with no plot relevence." I believe this is an unfair verdict, for the following reasons:


 * Goombas are the main force of the Koopa Troop alongside Koopa Troopas. They are to Mario as Stormtroopers are to Star Wars. You can't think "Mario bad guys" without these guys coming to mind.


 * Goombas have their own backstory given in the original instruction manual: They were originally denizens of the Mushroom kingdom alongside the Toads until they betrayed them and allied with the Koopa clan.


 * There are loads of distinct individual Goomba villains introduced in the RPGs, such as Goomboss, Red & Blue Goomba, Captain Goomba etc. They aren't just generic mooks, they have plenty of distinct villains within them.

I hope you will consider all the reasons I have layed out for re-evaluating your decision to delete the G\Goombas page.
