#{{User|SolemnStormcloud}} Primary choice. With the knowledge that the ''DK'' series ghosts have a unique Japanese name (at least in ''DK: King of Swing''), I don't feel quite as comfortable with a merge to the ''Wario Land II'' enemy. | #{{User|SolemnStormcloud}} Primary choice.

#{{User|Dark-Boy-1up}} I changed my vote a second time. @SolemnStormcloud is right. DK ghosts do not deserve to be merged with others, and neither does the luigis mansion ones.

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} While merging stuff like real-world objects that happen to have vastly different uses in their appearances in the Mario series is fine by us (even if it does yield weird stuff like, say, the [[Koopa-Kola]] article--an article that seems to be about 3 distinct drinks that shared a name in early non-game content), merging the basis for ''an entire basis of a species'' (the ''LM'' ghosts) to just. Generic Ghost Enemy From A Donkey Kong Game. Feels much, much stranger. Ghosts have a pretty well-defined existence in the Mario franchise, so it feels kinda weird to have an article all melded together that's "there's a ghost in Wario Land II. there were like. 2 ghosts in the DK games. Here's a description for the entire Luigi's Mansion franchise and its relationship with ghosts.". And of course, there's the elephant of the room that are [[Boo|the]] [[Eerie|ghost]] [[Peepa|enemies]] in regards to the merged article--they aren't present on the mockup, and to be honest, we're not sure if that's necessarily even a bad thing, because that has the potential to be a proverbial nuke on that article's usefulness. A disambiguation page really isn't hurting anyone, it gives each of these individual ghosts a designated space on their own articles, and it's generally easier to navigate than trying to model ghosts in the Mario series as though they're one cohesive, franchise-wide consistent thing; this is not 2008, there absolutely is ''not'' a cohesive Mario universe. | |||
