It's pretty obvious this is just a one-off redesign, like the "Gabons" from the same game.

Proposer: Binarystep (talk)

Support

1. Binarystep (talk) Per me.
2. Burningdragon25 (talk) I do believe that a merge is in order so, OK! Per all!
3. Lumastar (talk) They share the same Japanese name. That's enough for me! Per all.
4. 1337star (talk) Per all.
5. Magikrazy (talk) Per Binarystep.

Oppose

1. Stonehill (talk) It would be better if this page was moved to Template:Fakelink.
2. Walkazo (talk) - The Japanese name's unconfirmed and besides, this fish looks very little like Spiny Cheep Cheep; I see little reason to go out of our way to merge it when it has its own name: the more articles, the better. I even question the Gabon merge, especially now that I see that it should never have passed in the first place: it should have been no quorum.

Comments

@Stonehill: Spiny Fish can't be moved to Spiny Cheep Cheep, as that name is already being used. Magikrazy (talk)

Wait, never mind. I missed the Yoshi's Story part. Magikrazy (talk)

Just so we're clear, Binarystep - are you proposing a merge because of this page's foreign name? LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:10, 1 May 2015 (EDT)

That is correct. Binarystep (talk) 17:04, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

In that case, you may want to rethink your strategy, considering that, according to the person who placed the name there, he grabbed it from either the JP Wikipedia (bad, especially since the name matches) or the Daijiten (slightly less bad but I can't verify that). I'd rather err on the side of caution. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

What even is the Daijiten? Is it seriously just some random Mario Monsters-ish fansite we've been using as a source for some reason? Binarystep (talk) 17:27, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

Basically, yep. It has a good track record, but obviously, we can't take its word on everything. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
