#{{user|Shadic 34}} The main reason I'm surporting this is because at the very least, we won't have to smack our heads into walls trying to figure out the distinctions between "character" and "species". This entire situation reminds me a lot of [[talk:Metal Mario|Metal Mario]], [[talk:Boom Boom (species)|Boom Boom]], and [[talk:Birdo (species)|Birdo]]. | |||
#{{User|Koopa con Carne}} Per all. Even disregarding the guides and even more so the languages in which they were written, the version of the game released in its country of origin, itself, uses a name that isn't particularly regal-sounding to refer to Prince Froggy, as seen in the title of Prince Froggy's Fort. It's generic enough that one can see why most available guides simply ran with it and called every other Frog Pirate the same thing. I strongly believe this website should commit to its purpose of bringing at the forefront the notions that are closest to authorship and treat any adjacent interpretations as secondary; otherwise I believe the situation hinges more on a general question of "is a generic, ultimately nameless NPC notable enough to have an article if the player interacts with it in a significantly different way from others?" To address the argument regarding search engine discoverability: it's entirely irrelevant and I've never agreed with it; an encyclopedia, library, archive, what have you shouldn't alter or re-interpret its source material to cater to what the audience ''thinks'' may be the case. | #{{User|Koopa con Carne}} Per all.

#{{User|Hewer}} Per all, and if this fails I think we'll need to reconsider the Super Mario World Big Boos being merged. | #{{User|Hewer}} Per all, and if this fails I think we'll need to reconsider the Super Mario World Big Boos being merged. |
