Do someone has a source about the name Clampy, because their is a citation needed template. If not, It could be better to move this article to Giant Clam which is source from NSMBU prima guide. Do someone can answer my question?--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 18:15, 27 July 2015 (EDT)

:According to the [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Clampy&diff=1870071&oldid=1078198 page creation summary], the source is apparently [http://www.enter-play.com/SMBW/cylingallery/index.html this], although the link appears to be broken. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:20, 27 July 2015 (EDT)

::The name's from the MK7 Prima guide, which I was in the middle of looking into. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

::::One more thing, should we implement that broken link as a source, too? You know, to tell readers that we used to have a source before it became... that. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:24, 27 July 2015 (EDT)

:::::I'm a bit skeptical of it, actually; the URL makes me think that it's derived from NSMBW, but the Prima guide only uses "clams", and I think we'd notice if another official source listed a bunch of names. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::::::IMO, I will say yes, if someone want to know where we take the name (source) before it appear in Mario Kart 7 (from 2009 to 2011).--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 18:31, 27 July 2015 (EDT)
:[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii trading cards|...Oh.]] This seems like a good candidate for being the name's source, especially since enter-play published the NSMBW cards. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::Yes, your right, maybe this should be mentioned in this article.--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 18:43, 27 July 2015 (EDT)

== Merge ==
I brought this up on the forums a while back and then promptly forgot about it, but I might as well pose this question on the wiki proper: is there anything distinguishing Clampy from Clam? Clampies trap players in NSMBW, unlike regular Clams but in SM64/SM64DS, they're just props, which are exactly like regular Clams. Would anyone object to a merge? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:Sorry for the delayed response. Both [[Clam]] and [[Clampy]] ''already'' share information on SM64 and NSMBW. Clamby may be redirected to Clamb after the information has been properly merged and all links updated.

::Keep generic clams to a generic clam article and keep the clams with Mario-style eyes to Clampy. Where would the Super Mario Galaxy 2 Clam go, though? {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:54, 10 July 2016 (EDT)
:::They're different enemies: [[Clam]]s [[Clampy]]s. Sure Clams look the same as Clampys in Super Mario Galaxy [[Super Mario Galaxy 1|1]] and [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|2]] but that really doesn't warrant a merge to me and besides in [[Super Mario 64]] and [[Super Mario 64 DS|it's DS remake]] they basically look like real life Clams so no merge. {{User:Fawful's Minion/sig}} 18:11, 10 July 2016 (EDT)
