Yes, we should. Three of the five points in the main answer of How do we know the Apollo Moon landings are real? are directly applicable. The fourth applies as well, though it's written to address evidence for the Moon specifically.

That said, the specific one you wanted to close as a duplicate in this case--I'm not sure if it fits will within the "Are the Mars landings real?" framework. It seems the conspiracy being spread here is not that we haven't landed probes on Mars, but that something there is being covered up. I have no issue with us closing these questions as well, but they don't really work well as duplicates of the Moon landing question because that just addresses whether the landing is real, not whether something else happened during the landing that was covered up.
