Talk:Mushroom Genie

Split Mushroom Genie and Genie of the Lamp into separate articles
These characters have a similar role and are summoned by similar means, but they look and act very differently; the Mushroom Genie is more lean and gentle to its master, whereas the Genie of the Lamp is far larger and rougher, not to mention they appear to have a different mushroom cap as well as a slightly different outfit. If this proposal passes, I might make a similar proposal for Magic Lamp and Genie Lamp.

Proposer: Deadline: December 21, 2014, 23:59 GMT.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) It's pretty obvious they're different characters. They have different names (even in Japan, which is pretty much solid proof based on past merges/splits) and look pretty different too. Also, even if they do the exact same thing, the way they execute it is different too.
 * 3) The differing names, looks, personalities, and actions suggest to me that these are different characters. Per all.
 * 4) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) Hardly worth worrying about for such a minor character, and the two articles created from the split would both be extremely short.
 * 2) The Japanese names aren't extremely drastic (Mushroom Genie, Genie of the Lamp), and I view the Mario Party 4 incarnation of the genie to be more of a drastic redesign rather than a separate character. So, I'm leaning toward keeping them merged.

Comments
@River Piranha: The importance of the character(s) and the length of the resulting articles are irrelevant here; what matters is whether or not they deserve to be split.

I always thought the Genie in Mario Party 4 is supposed to be a joke (a normally muscular Genie lets himself go) to the older Mario Party games. Not to mention, both their outfits and their mustache are the same. It can be just a drastic redesign. 22:01, 9 December 2014 (EST)
