This proposal concerns the nature of Krow and his undead alter-ego, Kreepy Krow. Initially, these two shared a page [[Talk:Krow#Split_Kreepy_Krow_from_Krow|until a proposal to split them in 2010 passed unanimously.]] Now, it's not unusual for alter-egos to be separate articles. Two examples are Mario and Dr. Mario and Bluster Kong and Leo Luster. With the former, Mario has made many appearances for his doctor persona to be notable, and Bluster Kong has a couple of appearances in his show for Leo Luster to be a unique page. In some instances, we also have enough information on the regular subject. For example, Cackletta has much information about her usual self, and we can still talk about Bowletta separately. Furthermore, it's also a form of Bowser, who has tons of information on himself. We can say similar things about the Elder Princess Shroob and Shrowser. | This proposal concerns the nature of Krow and his undead alter-ego, Kreepy Krow.

#{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - The only time the games listed Kreepy separately was the GBA credits. This is especially awkward for ''Donkey Kong Land'', where due to the monochrome full-alpha graphics, there is literally no distinction other than one fight being harder. | #{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - The only time the games listed Kreepy separately was the GBA credits.

#{{User|Mario}} I'm not really supporting a merge. They're two different boss fights with different appearances and they have their own name (unlike Kaliente and Hisstocrat). In the proposed merger, I'm having difficulty finding information pertaining to JUST the fight. I don't think this'll help with discoverability either. I think readers searching for Kreepy Krow expect a full article on the thing, not tucked inside Krow's article. | #{{User|Mario}} I'm not really supporting a merge.

It's been a while since I dabbled in ''Donkey Kong Land'' content, but come to think of it, aren't the ''Land 2'' boss fights identical to ''Country 2'' (I recall ''Land III'' having a fair amount of differences like the first one)? Maybe this is for another time, but perhaps the boss levels could be merged.

:I did a proposal that concerned all of the levels in general, but that one did not pass, so if we're doing one concerning boss levels, it could be a while before that. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 16:41, January 27, 2024 (EST) | |||
@Mario "I'm having difficulty finding information pertaining to JUST the fight." It's in the first paragraph which usually have six sentences to count as one. I guess I could split them to make it easier to find the bosses. [[User:TheUndescribableGhost|TheUndescribableGhost]] ([[User talk:TheUndescribableGhost|talk]]) 11:27, January 28, 2024 (EST) | |||
:Perhaps but I lean to, again, discoverability. We don't merge [[Behemoth]] and [[Behemoth King]] despite the two being mostly the same boss fight and being largely confined to one game. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:51, January 28, 2024 (EST) | |||
::But Behemoth and Behemoth King are obstentibly different enemies, while Kreepy Krow is a form of an existing boss, so I don't think the comparison works. A better comparison would be the [[Czar Dragon]] and [[Zombone]], who are split despite being forms of the same enemy, and heck, even despite being fought in the same boss battle.
