Currently this article is under the name Huge Paragoomba which is the translation of their Japanese name ''deka patakuribō''. The reason for us using the Japanese name is that according to the article there is no official English name for these large Paragoombas. However i feel that is incorrect because in the ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode Princess Toadstool for President Bowser refers to them as Giant Land Paragoombas and i feel that Giant Land Paragoomba should qualify as an official name since its what they were called in the cartoons. | Currently this article is under the name Huge Paragoomba which is the translation of their Japanese name ''deka patakuribō''.

The above proposal ultimately didn't work out at the time because of a conflict in the naming policy, but the priority list was recently updated with the removal of the aforementioned issue. In the revised version, any known English name from a recognized acceptable source is now used over non-English ones. This would fall under #4: ''Name used in officially licensed media'', taking precedence over the Japanese reference. | The above proposal ultimately didn't work out at the time because of a conflict in the naming policy, but the priority list was recently updated with the removal of the aforementioned issue.

The only reason they go by this name is because of their mentioning in the non-canon cartoon from over 20 years ago based on the game where this species never existed until a couple years ago. But at this point we've established that larger than standard sized Goombas are known as Grand Goombas, with the other incarnations also adopting the name. i.e. Grand Tail Goomba. | The only reason they go by this name is because of their mentioning in the non-canon cartoon from over 20 years ago based on the game where this species never existed until a couple years ago.

So logically, shouldn't the name of this article be changed to Grand Paragoomba? {{User| | So logically, shouldn't the name of this article be changed to Grand Paragoomba? {{User|MarioFanatic64}} | ||
