DRAGON???

How is Ridley a dragon? He looks more like an Aerodactyl gone bad. Oh, and dragons don't get reincarnated as robots. Georgedrake Z

I fail to see how Ridley looking somewhat similar to an Aerodactyl does not make him a dragon. Also, after he was beaten, Ridley was rebuilt with cybernetics, not reincarnated. -- Sir Grodus 01:22, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Split Ridley into Ridley and Meta Ridley

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Meta Ridley should really have his own article, as he is a separate entity from Ridley; it's really no different than Dino Piranha and Fiery Dino Piranha, or Gobblegut and Fire Gobblegut.

Proposer: Phoenix (talk)

Support

1. Phoenix (talk) Per my proposal.
2. Arend (talk) Else articles like Midbus and Blizzard Midbus aren't split, right?
3. Fawfulfury65 (talk) It's more consistent with them split because Fawful is split from Dark Fawful, Fire Gobblegut is separate from Gobblegut, Cackletta from Bowletta, etc. Plus, aren't they two different creatures?
4. Tails777 (talk) Per all.
5. MATEOELBACAN (talk) Per all.
6. Reddragon19k (talk) That's a per all on that! Split them!
7. HenryClaylogan (talk) Per all.
8. AxemGreen33 (talk) I agree with Fawfulfury65. You don't see Fire Mario merged with Mario, do you? So, per all.

Oppose

1. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! I get what you're saying but those monsters are separate creatures, not the same. Meta Ridley is a medically, biologically, advanced creature with cybernetics version of Ridley, they're not separate creatures, and currently we are merging a lot of alter egos together, but overall I think we should leave that for the Metroid Wiki. Zero signing out.
2. SWFlash (talk) Let's split Behemoth King from Behemoth as well then? Per Zero.
3. Walkazo (talk) - Per all. I'd like to see those other "forms" merged with the main articles anyway. Let Metroid Wiki focus on the many facets of Ridley: that's their job, whereas our coverage of his role in SSBB in both his forms is perfectly fine with this one article.
4. M&SG (talk) - Technically, we are talking about the exact same Ridley. Therefore, it would seem pretty redundant to split Ridley's article. This also applies to similar articles, such as Awk (which includes Rawk), Buckbot (which includes Buckbomb), and even Behemoth (includes Behemoth King), since we don't want to end up with more stubbed articles.
5. Mario4Ever (talk) Per Walkazo.
