Talk:Big Fire Piranha Plant

help
I want to move this to big venus fire trap but I'm not sure how. someone move to BVFT??? the Yoshi co.
 * Well, a discussion should take place first. That said, there is not currently any citation for "Big Fire Piranha Plant", so unless one can be found, I'd support the move. 17:31, 7 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I think it was named Big Fire Piranha Plant in the New Super Mario Bros. 2 Prima guide. I'll check once I get the chance. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 17:32, 7 August 2017 (EDT)
 * That's where the citation for "Big Venus Fire Trap" comes from. 16:33, 7 August 2017 (CT)
 * Well, if it's not NSMB2, maybe it's named Big Fire Piranha Plant in the New Super Mario Bros. U Prima guide. If it is named that, then I guess this page doesn't need to be moved. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 21:48, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Nope. It's not named in the New Super Mario Bros Wii or U Prima guides, and obviously, the NSMB2 name is already there. Technically, policy says that the name "Piranha FLower" should take precedence as it's from a game, but frankly it's an unhelpfully undescriptive name and the Prima name is much better. 22:08, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Latest Game: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. What does that game do? Calls everything given a Super Mushroom Big. Big Fire Piranha Plant is it's latest name. 22:13, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * It does not. They don't tack on "Big" to the names vocally there last time I checked. And "Piranha Flower" is the same situation as with Klepto being "The Big Bird," Whomp King being "Whomp," and Dorrie being "Swimming Beast in the Cavern." 21:16, 8 August 2017 (CT)
 * There's also the Player's Guide, which also takes priority over the Prima guide, but again, it's not a good name. I'm willing to make another proposal to decide this, if it comes to that. 22:33, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I don't think this needs a proposal. We just need to agree on either Big Venus Fire Trap or Piranha Flower. It's not uncommon for use to use a name outside of the official games if the name in guides makes more sense.I think Big Venus Fire Trap is a better name than Piranha Flower, imo. 22:36, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Barring Scorchit (whose proposal was made at Walkazo's suggestion), I can't think of a single example of that besides Klamber/Scuttlebug (and even then, Walkazo explained why that situation was complicated. 22:40, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * According to Naming, an article should be named as "the most commonly used English name of the subject". However, since the "most common" name is currently unsourced and we have sources for the other names. In game names take priority, so Piranha Flower would be the option to go with, I guess. 22:44, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Which is then why I suggested making a proposal to have the name be "Big Venus Fire Trap", since "Piranha Flower" is an unhelpfully vague name (and why I brought up Scorchit, in which this same situation occurred). 22:47, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Nah, most common would be Big Venus Fire Trap. Who even likes the name "Fire Piranha Plant," anyway? Nobody uses it unless they have to, ergo, not commonly used. 21:49, 8 August 2017 (CT)
 * "The newest name will have priority over older names when mentioned in articles." So... there you go. I should really read pages completely before I say something next time...   22:50, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * This is not always the case, which is why we have that totem pole of importance for name sources. 22:51, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * ...Okay, then, I don't know. This doesn't seem like something that we need to wait two weeks for, but if you think a proposal is necessary, then feel free. 22:56, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * If there isn't any disagreement then just move it. Not everything requires Bureaucracy.
 * I'm concerned about someone immediately moving it back due to religiously sticking to the rules, but if nobody objects I'll move it without one. 23:05, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * We can always move it back if that's the case. I think we're (that is, those of us that said something here) in agreement for Big Venus Fire Trap. 23:07, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Actually, Yoshi the Space Station Manager has a point. If you play through Yamamura's lessons, both he and Mary O. refer to any of the supersized enemies with Big before their actual name. Like Big Goomba, Big Blooper or Big Piranha Plant for example. It's been a while since I last looked, but I recall the two of them naming each big enemy as a Big something. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 23:09, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * It would be very helpful if that could be confirmed, at which point it could be used as a citation for the article. 23:13, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I can confirm that large Goombas are referred to as "Big Goomba" (as shown here) but I'm not sure about any other large enemies. -- 07:13, 9 August 2017 (EDT)
