I've never really done a proper CRT before, and have hardly used the new forums, so sorry if I make any mistakes.
The Gentle Pull doesn't exist. Plain and simple. It's entire existence is based on a single paragraph of dialog from Rosalina. Let's take a look.
She then goes on to say "This is not some mere whim of the stars". This doesn't mean that a higher power guides them together, it means that they both had the desire to see each other again and worked towards the goal.
Nothing here implies that the Pull is a character. Not even a vague, conceptual abstract one. This is Rosalina using hyperbole to describe the power of love to Mario.
I read through tons of old threads and found that the profile is only still on the site because of an alleged interview and a quote from a guidebook. The guidebook was found and had no mention of the conversation between Rosalina and Mario at all, and so was disregarded.
The interview has never been found and probably doesn't even exist. In this alleged interview, it was said that the Gentle Pull is a "You, The Player" type of character much like The Anomaly (Undertale) or The Player/Truth of the Universe (Earthbound).
If this interveiw can be produced and have its validity confirmed, this thread can be closed and the profile can stay, however at the moment the character "Gentle Pull" does not exist. There is no justification for its existence, and its only reference is easily explained. Even a simple Google search will reveal that this character isn't even a thing outside the Vs. Debate community.
The proposal is simple;
The Gentle Pull profile should be deleted and all references to it on the wiki should be deleted as well, until the alleged interveiw is found.

- "I am Rosalina... I watch over and protect the cosmos. I have been waiting for all of you."
- "When that evil monster took our star power... I was separated from my precious little one... But I knew we'd see each other again."
- "Because..."
- "There is a force that binds us, defying even time and space... Not even the laws of the universe can stop it. I knew its gentle pull would prevail."
- "It is the desire to be reunited with someone who is important to you. That pull is what brought us together."
- "We have come through so much to meet again. This is not some mere whim of the stars... I am sure of that."
- "Mario..."
- "Thank you for returning this child to me."
