It has been a while since this topic has been brought up. When the topic was last discussed in 2007, there were no reliable sources. However, I have found some sources that mention "UR MR. GAY" after the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Destructoid and Escapist Magazine due to Galaxy 2's alleged "response message", "YA IM R U?". I have also found a source from Engadget from 2007 which points the source of the topic to NeoGAF. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 18:36, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Should this information be added to the article? It was released today in China in 1080p thanks to a deal between Nvidia and Nintendo. [1]

@ Harimua Thailand: the game is only known as "Super Mario Wii" in South Korea. In most other countries the game is titled "Super Mario Galaxy" and since this is a much more common name the article should use this title. Jc86035 ( talk) 07:08, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
What should we link to in the "External links" section: [1], [2] or [3]? All three are official sites of the game. Glades12 ( talk) 12:21, 1 July 2020 (UTC) The current link is 3, though it's now dead and archived. 12:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
I think this article shoub in American english like other Mario and Japan articles because this game has nothing to do with the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.185.203.161 ( talk) 02:19, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
The flag at the top of the talk page indicating that 'U R MR GAY' has been determined to be non-notable by consensus seems to have been added in 2007, and I think circumstances have changed such that briefly mentioning it under legacy or something would be appropriate. 'U R MR GAY' has sustained coverage by many established and reliable sources, such as Kotaku, Joystiq (now hosted by Engadget), GamesRadar, all of which were published in 2007 around when the game was published, and the topic resurfaced in 2010 when the sequel was released, and was covered by Kotaku again, Eurogamer (spanish edition), Destructoid, The Escapist, and in addendum to being covered by gaming news, it was also covered by two Spanish newspapers: El País and 20 minutos. Previous discussions have failed to establish notability in reliable sources, but I think that per the sources provided, it should be incorporated. I also think that previous discussions focused more on the juvenile nature of the meme, and whether internet memes have a place on Wikipedia rather than a discussion of notability.
Some additional sources that came up but I felt weren't reliable include JeuxActu, Blast Magazine, and Unnützes Wissen für Gamer: 555 verrückte Fakten über Videospiele (English: Useless Knowledge for Gamers: 555 Ridiculous Facts About Videogames), a 2017 German book that strikes me as about as 'useful' as any other 'gamer fact' book, but worth noting as it shows 'U R MR GAY' in print media.
@ Yoshiman6464: @ ThomasO1989: @ Jaguar: @ TheDisneyGamer: @ Tom.Reding: @ TheJoebro64: To help facilitate discussion, I've pinged users who have made significant contributions to the article, as well as Yoshiman6464, who previously brought up sources that could be incorporated regarding the meme.

Why this article in written in stinking crappy British English and DMY format, Should it be written in American English and MDY like all Mario articles? Heck, even the Simple English Wikipedia article has it written in American English. 38.25.236.56 ( talk) 04:45, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
"User Hello, Why the Super Mario Galaxy Wikipedia article was written in British English even though the game has nothing to do with the UK.
ChatGPT The language style used in Wikipedia articles can vary depending on the preferences of the editors who contribute to them. Wikipedia encourages a neutral point of view and aims to be inclusive of various English language variations. As an international project, Wikipedia allows for both British English and American English, among other variations, to be used in its articles.
The choice of using British English in the Super Mario Galaxy Wikipedia article might have been made by the editors who initially created and developed the article. These editors could have been more familiar with British English conventions or simply preferred to use that style. It's important to note that Wikipedia is a collaborative platform, and articles are continually edited and updated by volunteers from around the world.
While Super Mario Galaxy itself is not directly related to the UK, the choice of language style in the article is more likely a reflection of the preferences of the editors involved rather than any specific connection to the game. It's worth noting that the use of British English on Wikipedia articles is not limited to topics directly associated with the UK, and it's a common practice to have articles in various English language variations to accommodate the global nature of the project." 38.25.164.164 ( talk) 12:26, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
