Talk:Banandelion

Banandelion
Shouldn't this page be moved to Dandelion stalks? It's the most recent name, and dandelions from the Super Mario Galaxy games are definitely not related to bananas. 04:37, October 12, 2021 (EDT)

Move to Dandelion stalk
The reason is basically what I was saying above. It's the most recent name, and it just sounds weird calling the Super Mario Galaxy dandelions Banandelions. Plus, most people are probably going to search Dandelion when looking for these items (though they will get redirected to Blow instead), not Banandelion.

Move to Dandelion stalk

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) Per proposal and Naming's fourth "Naming an article" bullet point.
 * 3) If it's the most recent name then we should use it, and the name 'Dandelion' isn't even official, so per all. Also, I think the 'dandelion' redirect should probably lead here and we should add an about template for blow.
 * 4) Per all.

Move to Dandelion

 * 1) For me, it's either this or don't move at all.

Keep current name

 * 1) If this should be moved to anything, it should be simply "dandelion", not "dandelion stalk". In context, "dandelion stalk" clearly refers to, well, the stalk of the dandelion, not the entire plant. That would be like using the term "tree trunk" to refer to a whole tree. Even then, it's a one-off generic descriptive term that isn't really much of a name.
 * 2) "Dandelion stalk" is a generic descriptor, not an actual name, and it doesn't even describe the whole plant.
 * 3) One's treated as a "proper" name, the other seems no different to me than when Unagi/Maw Rays and Gringills are just called "eels."
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Per.

@7feetunder: You do have a point, so I'm adding another option. But like I mentioned, currently, dandelion is a redirect to Blow. 00:07, October 15, 2021 (EDT)
 * So? Redirects aren't sacred. We can always just include an about template to direct people to the Blow article. 00:33, October 15, 2021 (EDT)

@Hewer: "Dandelion" is no less official than "dandelion stalk". Taking "dandelion stalk" as an official term for the plant itself relies on a misinterpretation of the source. The phrase "climb the dandelion stalk" means "climb the stalk of the dandelion", not "climb this plant, which is known as a dandelion stalk." Again, see my tree/tree trunk analogy. 18:22, October 15, 2021 (EDT)
