quote
Can someone find a quote for E.Gadd

foreign names
what other foreign names like Norway, you guys really sure there's no more?
 * They're definitely more, but it's hard to find them all out. - 15:24, 28 February 2008 (EST)

Mario/Luigi Age
In Luigi's Mansion, E. Gadd states after Luigi defeats King Boo that he hasn't seen anything like that in forty years. That means that Mario and Luigi have to be 20 years old, meaning E. Gadd hadn't seen anything like that in his whole life, or 40 years old, meaning E. Gadd hadn't seen anything like that since Thwomp Valcano erupted. MarioFan9999 17:12, 20 July 2008 (EDT)
 * If you can site sources for E. Gadd's age at the time of both PiT and LM, then we can put that in the bros. articles. Because it's a round number, I think we should say that they are about 20 rather than 20 on the nose.  Unfortuanatley, we can't pin their ages as fact because we can't say for sure that E. Gadd was referring to the volcano incident.  17:32, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

Well, in Luigi's Mansion, E. Gadd said that he was working in Boo's Woods since he was about twenty. That means in PiT, he was around twenty years old. With his quote after beating King Boo, that means in LM he was either 40 or 60 meaning that either way, he was twenty years older than Mario/Luigi (I expect he's 60, judging by his white hair.)

Picture
Look at the picture shown for E. Gadd in the article, notice anything different? The Poltergust on his back is in fact beta. It's in its "square" form. Notice it's lacking wheels, and has some switches on the side. Personally I like it better than the Poltergust used in the game, but that's just my opinion. We might wanna get a more up-to-date picture though. Oh yeah, on a side note, the fight with Boolossus was originally supposed to have been done with Luigi riding the Poltergust, in a way I always pictured similar to the Super Poltergust 3001, that might be something to add. --LUIGIMAN739 01:11, 12 September 2009 (EDT)

Name:His Name should be Professor E. Gadd,Not Elvin Gadd.I think it should be moved to Proffessor E. Gadd.


 * SIGN YOUR COMMENTS! Also, you may be forgetting the fact that his name is Elvin Gadd. Red_Yoshi_TTYD.png‎‎ Yoshi  waker  OrangeYoshiTTYD.png 14:39, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Split Young Elvin Gadd from Professor Elvin Gadd
SPLIT 12-2

Tell me, why do we have Young Elvin Gadd merged to Professor Elvin Gadd, but we don't have Toadsworth the Younger merged with Toadsworth? Or Baby Mario with Mario? Or Baby Luigi with Luigi? Or Baby Peach with Peach? Et cetera, et cetera. Since it's inconsistent to have Young E. Gadd merged with his older self, I propose to split him.

Proposer: Deadline: July 7, 2011, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) I say per him and that is that!
 * 3) 'Gonna say no but you do have a valid point, per all.
 * 4) Per consistency and this proposal
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per guy who reverses things.
 * 7) He does play an important role in the game so per all.
 * 8) If this fails, then we merge Mario with Baby Mario and Toadsworth with Toadsworth the Younger. Per all and my comments.
 * 9) Per all. Also, we shan't merge Toadsworth's younger self, DRJavelin. That would be like merging Cackletta, Bowletta and Cackletta's Soul.
 * 10) Per all.
 * 11) Per DKPetey99.
 * 12) Per all

Oppose

 * 1) Young Elvin Gadd is merged because he only appeared in one game, and only in one chapter. In my opinion, Toadsworth the Younger should also be merged with Toadsworth. The other babies are seperate because they appear in spin-offs with different stats than their older selves.
 * 2) Per Dr Javelin. I think that maybe Toadsworth and Toadsworth the Younger should be merged as well, depending on his role in the story (I haven't played the game). Isn't splitting this like creating a new wikipedia article for Younger Beethoven for example. It could be split into "Elvin Gadd's youth", but it would probably be a stub? Besides, if his name isn't official, his appearance barely is different and he has a minor role wouldn't the new article be a stub as well???

Comments
Was the past E. Gadd in M&L:PiT actually called "Young E. Gadd", or was he just called "E. Gadd" with the "young" being affixed by us? And does he even look different in the past than in the present? The baby characters and Toadsworth the Younger all co-exist with their future selves, but aside from some sort of mind link between past and present (iirc), there is only ever one E. Gadd, so I feel like differentiating his two iterations would be unnecessary if we're not being forced to by an official name or design change. -
 * I haven't played PiT in a while, so I'm not sure about the name, but I'm sure he looked different. --Reversinator 12:52, 23 June 2011 (EDT)

@DKPetey99: Baby Mario shouldn't be merged because he appears in several spin-offs alongside his older self with different stats. Toadsworth the Younger can be merged because he only appears in one game and does not have much info available on him. @MarioMaster: It won't be a stub if we put in all the info we can on him. Setting the record straight, The Magikrazy.

I love this proposal and I love it split! E. Gadd is old and Young Gadd is young! I say split it! Reddragon19k 18:58, 1 July 2011 (EDT)

@Dr Javelin, Baby Wario appears in one game, is he merged with Wario? 14:54, 2 July 2011 (EDT)

@DKPetey99: All of the babies are playable. Toadsworth the Younger and E. Gadd aren't. Young E Gadd and Toadsworth also have relatively small roles in the PiT story and don't really merit their own articles. Good point, though.
 * It doesn't matter that he's minor, he still deserves his own article.
