| Even as a generic descriptor, if the subject's been called a "cannon" in-game, is that good enough to move it? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:19, 2 August 2017 (EDT) | | Even as a generic descriptor, if the subject's been called a "cannon" in-game, is that good enough to move it? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:19, 2 August 2017 (EDT) |

| Why aren't we calling this "big bomb cannon"? That's the term I remember from the game. It's used by the mayor (twice), General White, and at least one random NPC in Fahr Outpost, so it's not like it's a one-off descriptive term. Just because it's not capitalized doesn't mean we shouldn't use it, just look at ''[[Wario Land II]]'': [[giant snake]], [[giant bee]], [[giant spear man]], etc. Not to mention [[fire jet]], [[red diamond (Wario World)|red diamond]], [[spark pylon]]... the list goes on. What makes this any different? Seems like a better idea to me than using a foreign name that no one is going to recognize or search for. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 21:32, 3 September 2018 (EDT)

| we should really move this to 'big bomb cannon'. It appears to be the official name given that most characters refer to it as this. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 20:31, November 9, 2019 (EST)

| :Yeah, someone already showed that three people referred to it as that in-game. {{User:PinkYoshiFan/sig}} 14:45, April 18, 2020 (EDT)

| ::Really, though, the "not a 'proper' name" argument is invalid when it's referred to consistently by a generic name in the relevant language. In that case, the generic name should be treated as the name. Pretty sure they just call it "cannon" most of the time, with "big bomb cannon" being more of a faux-Russian-accent-ism, though that's just me. No reason for a random other language to get priority for simply capitalizing it. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:56, April 18, 2020 (EDT)

| :::::The English version calls the "big bomb cannon" in all lowercases, instead of having the uppercase letters being the first letter of each word like most specific names, but moving it to that name is totally fine imo, as some specific English names in SPM are written like that too.
