Talk:Giant Bowser: Difference between revisions

Is this article's title conjectural? I know the SSBM deal makes it at least part conjecture... {{user:yellowYoshi398/sig}}

If it's a conjectural form, then it should be merged. {{User:Plumber/Pignature}} 15:16, 26 July 2007 (EDT)

I'd say merge. But then again, we do have [[Giant Baby Bowser]].{{User:SpikeKnifeNeedleSword/sig}} 17:20, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

I am Zero! '''GUYS THIS IS ''GIANT'' BOWSER, NOT ''GIGA'' BOWSER!!!!''' Zero signing out. {{User|Zero777}}

:Zero777: We are just calling it Giga Bowser because we are used to the name and please don't shout at us like that. Also he kinda is related to Giga Bowser. It is probably a nickname. {{User|Kaptain K. Rool}}

:::I think it should be deleted, it just represents a larger-than-normal Bowser. The Meat-Bowser is the only time that it is a true power-up.{{User|Marioguy1}}

:No, the images would go into [[Gallery:Bowser]]. Also, merging this page would only increase the Bowser article's length by a few sentences, and if you think about it, removing this page would actually ''decrease'' the total amount of space we're dedicating to Bowser around the wiki. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 10:35, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

== Change this article's name and coverage or delete ==

This article was created under the assumption that Giant Bowser was officially named as such in the ''Mario & Luigi'' games. "Assumption" is a word which here means "I said Giant Bowser was the name and everyone took my word for it". I'm sorry to say that "delusion" would be a better word, as it is a word that means "I was completely wrong in saying that I knew the official name and I lead everyone to vote for a conjecturally named article with a weird amount of information."

'''Proposer''': {{User|Ultimate Mr. L}}<br>

===All games===

#{{User|YoshiFlutterJump}} As long as the DT bestiary is fixed after this, and that Giant Bowser X article is merged with Bowser X, I’m in.  Per proposal.

#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} It's a heavily-recurring form at this point and abridging it to oddly-specific instances just seems silly. Besides, the YI bosses are regarded as generic enlarged enemies in Japan, yet get their own articles nonetheless, why should this be any different?

===Only NSMB Wii and 2===

#{{User|Alex95}} - The name Super Bowser only seems to be used in the ''NSMB'' guides, so it doesn't make much sense to me to list every instance of size change under this title when it's only in reference to a few games.

#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} I don't like the idea of covering all games mentioned. I would be satisfied if it was all instances of Giant Bowsers that are indeed different from the normal Bowser. However, per Alex95. I also would ideally like SMM to be covered too, but on a different article (Big Bowser) due to him not being the same size as Giant Bowser/Super Bowser, but still bigger than normal size. However, he is very similar to the regular Bowser.

===Only NSMB Wii and 2 and BIS===

#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} Per Alex95.

#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} Same as above. And still per Alex95.

===Delete===

::::::::Wait, it was explicitly called Giant Bowser in SSB? If so, yes that should certainly be the article name, if in-game names take priority. But that's only if we decide to cover SSB, which I'm skeptical of.

'''@Alex95''' You're saying we would keep the BIS info on this page, but we delete the DT info, correct?<br>

:::::....as in succeed? And no, there isn't any even remotely envenomed arguing going on here, so I wouldn't call it that. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 19:59, 27 April 2018 (EDT)
