I do not understand the meaning of the page. Is it a page for the Blargg that first appeared in Super Mario World or a page for the species as a whole? If I read the first line of text, this page is for Blargg who first appeared in Super Mario World. So, I propose a small clean up to this page and create a page for the Blargg species. Since there are several types of Blargg now. After all, we have a page for the Koopa species, a page for the Boom Boom species, a page for the Yoshi species and so on. It also would provide a better built page for the enemy and for the species, because presently this page was yet to Blargg from Super Mario World and now it resembles a page for the species.

Yoshi's Story depicts Blarggs as blob-like beings with large mouths, small arms and beady eyes. Perhaps there's a possibility to merge YS-related parts of the "Blargg" article with "Red Blargg", since I made a proposal on deciding what to do with that article.

{{Proposal outcome|vetoed|As pointed out by other users, this proposal violates rule 7 because the split option failed in the previous proposal and it is required to wait 4 weeks before making another one.}}
My proposal to either merge certain parts of this article to [[Red Blargg]] or split into the ''Yoshi's Story'' Blargg had just been declined, so I've come up with a new proposal, this time to decide what else Blargg can be split into: either split into Blargg and {{fake link|Blargg (''Yoshi's Story'')}}; split into Blargg and {{fake link|Blargg (blobby)}}; split into Blargg and {{fake link|Blargg (big)}}; split into Blargg and {{fake link|Blargg (big blobby Blargg)}}; or leave it the way it is. Like I said in my last proposal, ''Yoshi's Story'' depicts the Blarggs here as big blobby beings with large mouths, small arms and beady eyes. For example, in German, Blarggs are also called Feuerdrache (i.e. Fire dragon), while big blobby Blarggs in ''Yoshi's Story'' are referred to as Dudel Sprudel (i.e. Fizzy doodle).

#{{User|Blinker}} Blargg is hardly the only returning enemy in Yoshi's Story with an unusual design or size. You got Piranha Plants with long spiked stems, huge Chomps, bright-pink bug-eyed Spiny Cheeps... Besides, it's not like the small and gargantua varieties are in the game, so regular Blargg is free to be whatever size it wants to be. That happens to Chain Chomp all the time. As for the blobbiness, what Doc von Schmeltwick said last proposal.

#{{User|Pseudo}} Per Blinker.
#{{User|ExoRosalina}} I think Doc von Schemeltwick said in the last proposal. Like Blinker said, Blargg is just a returning enemy with the design or size.
#{{User|Pizza Master}} Despite the different appearances, Nintendo doesn't refer to the other designs of Blarggs by different names so we shouldn't either.
#{{User|Hewer}} My problem with the last proposal was the idea of splitting the Yoshi's Story Blargg at all, not the identifier used by the split page (and all of the new suggestions are significantly worse anyway). Per all.
#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Per Blinker.
#{{User|MegaBowser64}} Splitting the article certainly shouldn't be a priority without valid reasons.
#{{User|Mushroom Head}} The page has a reasonable length, splitting it will cause them to be too short.

[[Gargantua Blargg]] already fits the role of the "big" Blargg, and doesn't this proposal violate [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Rules|rule 7]]? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 08:00, August 13, 2023 (EDT)
Their other proposal left the option for voting to split the Blargg article into "Blargg" and "Blargg (Yoshi's Story)". Since all of their descriptions of the 'other' Blargg in this proposal are obviously in reference to the Blarggs from [[Yoshi's Story]], then yes. This proposal should be taken down for violating [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Rules|Rule 7]]--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 23:25, August 14, 2023 (EDT)
:Although i wanna oppose, i'm gonna abstain for now. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 10:41, August 16, 2023 (EDT)
Uh, why has this proposal not been cancelled yet? It's already been pointed out twice that this violates the rules. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 18:28, August 18, 2023 (EDT)
== Czar Dragon ==
I think that Czar dragon should be put onto either the relatives or notable members section of Blargg's page
I know that the Hooktail siblings (and by extension the Fracktail robots) have a name in Japanese associated with Blarggs, but considering that Czar Dragon has an identical face to a Blargg, with the same eyes, the same 4 buck teeth, and the same head shape, as well as being a lava based monster, I think it should be on this page.
{{Unsigned|Rendumguy}}
:Thing is, the Czar Dragon appears to be composed of [[Lava Babble]]s, a type of [[Lava Bubble]], something that, while also residing in pools of lava, is otherwise unrelated to Blargg. The Japanese name of the Czar Dragon, Kaiser Dragon, also doesn't make any direct connections to that of Blargg, Unbaba, being instead named after a Final Fantasy VI boss (wouldn't be the only SMRPG enemy that is named after a Final Fantasy boss creature). However, it has enough visual similarities that Czar Dragon at least deserves a mention on the Blargg page; Czar Dragon's page does mention its similarities to Blargg, too, so might as well. {{User:Arend/sig}} 13:04, September 12, 2024 (EDT)
::Blargg's own JP name may play off Lava Bubbles (BABuru, unBABa), admittedly. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:45, September 12, 2024 (EDT)
::See, this is one of those times where it would be nice if character infoboxes had parameters like variants, relatives etc. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 16:33, September 12, 2024 (EDT)
:::I once made a character/species infobox. It got deleted via a proposal because of something about voice actors (couldn't make that up if I tried). But I agree those could be useful in cases like [[Hookbill the Koopa]], but if you consider how badly it could be abused for Mario it might be more trouble than it's worth. Note that on Triforce Wiki I gave the character infoboxes such parameters, but there's less franchise to deal with there.
