| OK, I don't think that this proposal is right because we have the [[Banana Bunch]] article and the triple bananas seem to fit perfectly in it. As for the Giant Banana, I you think that should be merged with the (normal) banana article, then you should merge the other giant variants into their corresponding normal-items' articles as well (IE: [[Giant Green Shell]], [[Giant Bob-omb]], etc). {{User:Coincollector/sig}} | | OK, I don't think that this proposal is right because we have the [[Banana Bunch]] article and the triple bananas seem to fit perfectly in it.

| Also, is there a rule for this situation? there has not been a vote in 12 days. the consensus is SLIGHTLY in favor of split.

| I just noticed Dr. Javelin and Mario Master voted to oppose because they believed it would create a stub. if you'll look on the Giant Banana Redirect page, in the history, you'll see I accidentally wrote an article for it early, because I forgot about the clear majority rule. as you can see for yourself, 3 1/2 inches of writing can be made on this subject, and that's on my computer, which has a wider screen than most, making the article seem shorter than it actually is.. I dont know where the cut-off for stubs is, but this is a good bit longer than most of the stuff I've seen labeled as stubs. {{user:Iamthedude/sig}}

|
| |
| ::'''To whom it may concern''': A stub is an article that, regardless of length, either lacks information or concerns a subject about which little information can be provided. This latter case generally applies in situations in which it is difficult to provide information to sufficiently differentiate two subjects, that is, their similarity makes it difficult to prevent an article from being a rehash of another in terms of content (such as this situation). {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}
| |
| :@BabyLuigiOnFire well, excuse me for thinking we were using the common meaning of the word stub, which is synonymous with unusually short. I just noticed that all the stub articles I had seen were very short and assumed that was the case
| |
|
| |
| :@Mario4Ever: and as you can see on this page: [[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Giant_Banana&diff=prev&oldid=1088877]] there is enough information that you cannot just say that it is the same as a regular banana. Here are some examples of differences: Only 4 characters can access it, it has a different facial expression, can be used to completely block narrow paths, splits into 3 smaller bananas when destroyed, has more slow-down effect than normal banana, blocks green and red shells without breaking. as you can see, there are '''at least 6''' Differences between banana and Giant banana. if that isnt enough to say that it wouldn't just be a rehash, I really dont know what you're looking for.{{User:Iamthedude/sig}}
| |
| ::In all honesty, the only significant piece of information I found was this: ''The giant banana also appears one other time as a piece of furniture in the game ''"Animal Crossing: City Folk."'' '' The part about blocking narrow paths is irrelevant (as is its expression and characters able to use it (Double Dash!! was merged to Rocket Start even though it can only be used in multiplayer)), and except for its splitting into three, its function is more or less identical to that of the standard item. It's not different enough from Bananas to warrant a split, especially since that it still ''is'' a banana despite its few differences. '''@Arend''': What those articles have is common is that the enemies about which they are written appear in multiple games. The Giant Banana only appears in ''Double Dash!!''. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}

| |
| #{{User|Baby Luigi}} I was about to disagree (especially with the Giant ? Block article, I don't even know if that one's necessary) but then I realized that every Mario Strikers giant item has its own page except the banana. Also, Giant Bananas are distinct special items with their own purpose in Mario Kart: Double Dash, exclusive to DK & Diddy and have their unique properties, I feel it does the wiki a better favor when it's split from a regular banana in the Mario Kart franchise.

| |
| #{{User|Andymii}} Huh?! This ''isn't'' split already? Wow. Anyway, if Giant Bannas ''are'' the same as bananas, then how does [[Big Goomba]] get a page? This, and what Baby Luigi has said about it being the only item in Strikers without a Wiki page, make the omission of a Giant Bannana page really inconsistent.

| There's a pretty significant difference between a coin equivalent and an item used to trip people. The only reason to keep these merged is that they're both bananas, which isn't really a compelling argument (unless you think all those Paper Mario mushrooms should be merged).

| #{{User|Bazooka Mario}} This isn't as straightforward as you think it is. The reality is, the games treat Banana and Banana Peel interchangeably. The ''Mario Kart'' series call these items "bananas" (and at one point even resemble [[:File:BananaBunch MK64.png|whole bananas]]), but you're technically using the peel of this banana. One action is providing information for both articles, but how exactly are you going to link the ''Mario Kart'' banana? Readers will likely search this banana as "banana" but will the banana in the ''Mario Kart'' articles link to banana peel? Keep in mind, this also applies to ''Mario Strikers'', ''Mario Tennis'', ''Mario Sports Mix'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'' as well.

| :The inconsistent naming is the entire problem with this proposal, which isn't limited to ''Mario Kart'', and it includes ''Mario Tennis'', ''Mario Strikers'', ''Mario Baseball'', and ''Mario Sports Mix'' which call these "bananas" as well. What are we going to do, put information on this peel in both banana and banana peel? Or make all information link to banana peel via piping (but that doesn't do search results any good, as readers look up banana and get information on the collectible and other things rather than the slapstick comedy they're looking for)? It's not just naming, it's appearance too, as I've shown [[:File:MK64Item-Banana.png|banana in ''Mario Kart 64'']] which appears as a whole banana. All in all, it's a fruitless split. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 22:00, 9 January 2016 (EST)

| ::I honestly don't get what your trying to say. Can we not just create an article for the peel of a banana and mention in said article that some games do refer to it as a banana regardless of its actions. I still feel like comparing a Donkey Kong equivalent to a coin to an item used to trip people is enough to say they should be separated. It just feels inconsistent to me to keep them merged. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
| |
| :::[[Coin]]s function differently in games too. In Mario platformers, they're used to get 100 lives. In Mario Party and Mario RPGs, they're used as currency. In Mario Kart, they're used as fuel. It's a faulty comparison and I think a split would complicate things; Bananas in Mario Kart are simply referred to as bananas for pretty much the entire series. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 13:24, 10 January 2016 (EST)
| |
| :::I haven't worded it well, but if we create the article for the peel of the banana and mention that some games refer to it as "banana", it still doesn't help will searches. Say, a reader sees "banana" and "banana cup" in the instruction booklet and wants to look it up. The reader will most likely search for "banana" or "Mario Kart banana" rather than "banana peel" or something like that. It would be more inconvenient if the reader has to click on another link to go to desired article. Furthermore, this "banana peel" has appeared to be a full banana at least once, so the games treat bananas and banana peels as the same. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:10, 11 January 2016 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| How about splitting into [[Banana (Mario Kart series)|Banana (''Mario Kart'' series)]]? That split would make sense, since both subjects are named "Banana" but the MK bananas have a very specific function compared to the other bananas in this article, which also feels like an encompass-all article. It would make the most sense. --{{User:Henry Tucayo Clay/sig}} 10:48, 12 January 2016 (EST)

| ::It's not a bad idea, but it does potentially open up a can of worms. It's a bit like splitting off the Mario RPG Mushrooms from the Mario platformer Mushrooms, as both have clearly different function (one of them is to heal while the other one makes you grow bigger). And what are we going to do with the Bananas that aren't Donkey Kong items? Why aren't they split, but the Mario Kart bananas are? And should we split the Banana item into its own Smash Bros. article as well (since it's not a Mario Kart series item anyway). My twin has also brought up the bananas from games that ''aren't'' Mario Kart games, but are clearly based off how the ''Mario Kart'' series bananas function (namely Mario Baseball and Mario Strikers and Mario Hoops-3-On-3 and Sports Mix games). I think splitting this article up complicates things a bit, and reserving a specific section for Banana for ''Mario Kart'' series when other game series have their bananas function like Mario Kart's just creates even more confusion. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 12:46, 12 January 2016 (EST)

| |
| ::::::::If there were only two distinct uses for bananas, you could try to justify a split, but that's not the case at all. As well as being obstacles in ''Mario Kart'', they're used as similarly slip-causing items in ''SSB'' (attributed to the ''MK'' games as their origin) and ''Strikers'' (and ''Mario Sports Mix'', but as a level hazard, since the bananas as usuable items have different effects); in the ''DK'' series, they've been used as coins, health ''and'' required collectibles to get to bosses (like Stars and Shines in the ''Mario'' 3D platformers); and there's appearances in numerous other series and games with a variety of different attributes. There's no point to separate out any one chunk of the appearances when there are so many equally distinct roles. Best to keep them all in one place. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 13:51, 12 January 2016 (EST)

Also, you'd end up splitting Red Shell for its homing and non-bounceable properties. Niiue: that leaves out the ''Mario Party'', ''Nintendo Land'', and ''Yoshi's Story'' bananas (and maybe some others given the {{tem|rewrite-expand}}). Overall, the suggestions are flawed, and I think the article is serviceable as it stands. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 13:54, 12 January 2016 (EST)

| == What does this mean? ==
| |
| "It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information."
| |
|
| |
| where in the article is this talking about? the article looks complete to me. I mean, it has translations, sprites, complete list of games where the banana is used, good references, info from the SSB series, A quote, etc. what more could this article possibly need? {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 07:56, April 15th, 2021

| :There might be some appearances of bananas not covered in the History section, but there’s no way to know which unless the template specifies them. I always remove expansion templates from pages if it’s ambiguous what needs to be expanded, otherwise they stay up there forever. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 08:30, April 15, 2021 (EDT)

| ::so should the expansion template be removed then since it's not clear what needs to be expanded? {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 08:38, April 15th, 2021 (EST)
| |
| ::::In my opinion, yes, unless someone adds specifics to the template. I'm removing the rewrite-expand template on the [[Warp Pipe]] page as well. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 18:10, April 15, 2021 (EDT)

| :::::Well I found these suspicious-looking yellow things in these images from a game that's not covered here.
