:Yeah, I kind of expect this to not be as unanimous as the Green Boo one, seeing as it does have a name. But I might as well wait and see what happens. [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 14:22, July 19, 2021 (EDT)

::I personally don't think that having a name is a very good reason to keep it split but merge the others. This is because 'Black Boo' is a very generic name and that they would almost definitely have come up with the names 'Green Boo' and 'Red Boo' if they felt the need to refer to them in that one manual, but since they didn't, we're essentially saying that because they happened to want to mention Black Boo in that manual and not the others, Black Boo gets to stay on a separate page, despite its identical role and importance compared to the others. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 03:47, July 23, 2021 (EDT)

What I want to know is where that Japanese name even comes from. It was added by an anonymous user with no source. The English name actually has a source. Even if the Japanese name ''did'' have a source, I have a hard time buying that the ''Thousand-Year Door'' enemy is related to it. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 17:51, July 19, 2021 (EDT)

:After reading a bit more, I guess you’re right. Is it possible for me to edit this proposal still? [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 21:31, July 19, 2021 (EDT)
