Talk:Big Paragoomba

Name

Bowser calls them Giant Land Paragoombas in the cartoon so shouldn't that count as an official english name Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Move Huge Paragoomba to Giant Land Paragoomba

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit any of the sections in the proposal. If you wish to discuss the article, do so in a new header below the proposal.

DELETED

Currently this article is under the name Huge Paragoomba which is the translation of their Japanese name deka patakuribō. The reason for us using the Japanese name is that according to the article there is no official English name for these large Paragoombas. However i feel that is incorrect because in the The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode Princess Toadstool for President Bowser refers to them as Giant Land Paragoombas and i feel that Giant Land Paragoomba should qualify as an official name since its what they were called in the cartoons.

Move to Giant Land Paragoombas

1. Goomba's Shoe15 (talk) per my proposal.
2. Reddragon19k (talk) Per GS15! That is indeed a good one. Although I like this proposal, I love it all!

Keep at Huge Paragoomba

1. MrConcreteDonkey (talk) - According to the priority list, the first international name from a non-English region has priority over cartoons.

The above proposal ultimately didn't work out at the time because of a conflict in the naming policy, but the priority list was recently updated with the removal of the aforementioned issue. In the revised version, any known English name from a recognized acceptable source is now used over non-English ones. This would fall under #4: Name used in officially licensed media, taking precedence over the Japanese reference.

1. LinkTheLefty (talk) Per policy.
2. Magikrazy (talk) Don't really like the name, but it takes top priority. Per ltl.
3. Megamario15 (talk) The name is strange, but it is the only translation that we have, so we should use it.

Comments

I own a copy of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. I had previously seen all of the episodes. I never heard the name Giant Land Paragoomba once. Could somebody tell me the origin of the name, and if it does appear in the aforementioned video like in the first proposal, where it appears?

Never mind. After looking at the above proposal again, I saw which episode it is in. I still don't recall that name... Megamario15 - The REAL Mario (talk) 16:54, 8 January 2015 (EST)
