Going by [[MW:NAME|our Naming policy]], articles' names are based first upon whether they appear in-game, then the Player's Guide, then the Prima guide, and it goes down from there. In this case, since Yoshi's Island DS' Player's guide calls this enemy "Zeus Guy", the article should be accordingly moved even though the Prima guide lists the enemy as "Scorchit". While I'm normally all for policy, in this case I'd like to challenge that. For starters, there's already an enemy called [[Zeus Guy]], a Bandit whose powers include shooting energy beams and general strength. The name's not perfect for either of them, as neither of them are actually a Shy Guy, but I would argue that the name's much more indicative of the Bandit than the Snifit. On that note, the Prima guide's name is so much better, since it immediately indicates that the enemy is a Snifit with fire powers. Using two distinct names instead of the same name twice saves us the trouble of using identifiers for the links and disambiguation, as well as avoids any potential confusion in discussions. I simply don't see why we need to go through the trouble when we have a perfectly sufficient name that's already in use. | Going by [[MW:NAME|our Naming policy]], articles' names are based first upon whether they appear in-game, then the Player's Guide, then the Prima guide, and it goes down from there.

Official name? Niiue - Who has lost his tail?
- If the article doesn't have the template which states that it isn't the official name, then that is the official name Yoshi876 (talk)
- Not necessarily. They could have made an error. Niiue - Who has lost his tail?
- You can say that for Incoming Chomp, Yoshi876. I'm not sure how "Incoming Chomp" got its name.
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:09, 9 April 2013 (EDT)
- You can say that for Incoming Chomp, Yoshi876. I'm not sure how "Incoming Chomp" got its name.
- Not necessarily. They could have made an error. Niiue - Who has lost his tail?
Rename to "Fire Snifit"
I can't find any source of the name "Zeus Guy", and it's confusing, too. This isn't a Proposal, this is a chance for feedback before I make a real Proposal. Niiue - Who has lost his tail?
Decide on this enemy's name

Going by our Naming policy, articles' names are based first upon whether they appear in-game, then the Player's Guide, then the Prima guide, and it goes down from there. In this case, since Yoshi's Island DS' Player's guide calls this enemy "Zeus Guy", the article should be accordingly moved even though the Prima guide lists the enemy as "Scorchit". While I'm normally all for policy, in this case I'd like to challenge that. For starters, there's already an enemy called Zeus Guy, a Bandit whose powers include shooting energy beams and general strength. The name's not perfect for either of them, as neither of them are actually a Shy Guy, but I would argue that the name's much more indicative of the Bandit than the Snifit. On that note, the Prima guide's name is so much better, since it immediately indicates that the enemy is a Snifit with fire powers. Using two distinct names instead of the same name twice saves us the trouble of using identifiers for the links and disambiguation, as well as avoids any potential confusion in discussions. I simply don't see why we need to go through the trouble when we have a perfectly sufficient name that's already in use.
