Talk:Raving Piranha Plant

Necessary?
Is this article really necesary? From what I can tell, it seems to just be a normal piranha plant, but the white parts change color to match the whole “Party” theme of the Electrodrome. Meaning it has less differences than the different colored Koopa Troopas or even the recently merged Green Boo, because this doesn’t have any functional differences at all. The only differences between this and the normal Piranha Plants that I can see is the aesthetic design. Is there something I’m missing? Somethingone (talk) 13:11, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * Pretty sure there was a proposal somewhere, but the main draw is having their own name. Don't know if it's the same case for language-of-origin, though. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:04, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * Well if there WAS a proposal, I’m not seeing it on either of the piranha plant pages. Somethingone (talk) 16:01, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * I can't find a proposal in the main proposal archive either. 16:54, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * Here's the proposal. I personally don't think the split should have happened. These have no notable differences from regular Piranha Plants, and the name comes from a Prima guide, so I don't think we should use it as a reason to split them. (Submarine Nep-Enut, anyone?) 18:08, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * It has a unique name and unique appearance, and Prima is a valid source and we have no reason to think this was an error. I think it's warranted. -- 18:28, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * I don't think the people who treated Banzai Bills, Bull's-Eye Banzais, and King Bills like they're all the same thing should be dictating how we split and merge things. Their "unique appearance" is just them flashing in different colors which, given the lack of any notable behavioral differences, makes them little more than a glorified color variant. 19:03, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
