American name origin
There’s nothing in here about what exactly the name Bowser is supposed to mean and why it was chosen as his American name. I’m interested in etymology so I always want to get to the roots of names. Has no one ever explained how it was picked? Alexandermoir (talk) 06:59, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

The tags on top of the article are disorganized because they are not grouped inside multiple issues. Can someone do it please. 50.100.44.234 (talk) 00:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
:Done. Removed the copyedit tag as is given Rewrite supersedes it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:18, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
Bowser's son
Hi there. I was wondering if we could add more information about Bowser's son Bowser Jr. On this article. Bowser has a son, Bowser Jr., But he isn't discussed much on either this article Nor List of Mario franchise characters. I think Bowser Jr. Should definitely have his own article because He's in Super Smash Bros. And is Bowser's son. I would appreciate it if Bowser Jr. Could have his own article one day. Thank You. 2605:B100:143:3B0F:F90E:BBD3:8FE1:125F (talk) 23:47, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
:Bowser Jr. had an article, but it was redirected to the List of Mario characters article in January. That article was simply in a bad state for years, with a lot of unsourced information, and sources would be from listicles/ranking articles. Being "in Super Smash Bros." and "is Bowser's son" don't automatically make him notable, reliable sources do. Furthermore, what could one possibly add on Bowser Jr. besides describing his physical appearance or listing what games he's in that requires an entire article?
