Naming

Do someone has a source about the name Clampy, because their is a citation needed template. If not, It could be better to move this article to Giant Clam which is source from NSMBU prima guide. Do someone can answer my question?--LudwigVon Sig.png(TALK) 18:15, 27 July 2015 (EDT)

According to the page creation summary, the source is apparently this, although the link appears to be broken. Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:20, 27 July 2015 (EDT)
The name's from the MK7 Prima guide, which I was in the middle of looking into. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
So, now we have a source. Thanks!--LudwigVon Sig.png(TALK) 18:24, 27 July 2015 (EDT)
One more thing, should we implement that broken link as a source, too? You know, to tell readers that we used to have a source before it became... that. Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:24, 27 July 2015 (EDT)
I'm a bit skeptical of it, actually; the URL makes me think that it's derived from NSMBW, but the Prima guide only uses "clams", and I think we'd notice if another official source listed a bunch of names. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
IMO, I will say yes, if someone want to know where we take the name (source) before it appear in Mario Kart 7 (from 2009 to 2011).--LudwigVon Sig.png(TALK) 18:31, 27 July 2015 (EDT)
...Oh. This seems like a good candidate for being the name's source, especially since enter-play published the NSMBW cards. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
Yes, your right, maybe this should be mentioned in this article.--LudwigVon Sig.png(TALK) 18:43, 27 July 2015 (EDT)
And here's a video for absolute confirmation. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
