This article appears to have enough information to add a History section, and right now I think that it looks a bit awkward without one, so should this section be added?

See above (this affects both Blurp and Deep Cheep). In SMM/2's SMW and NSMBU styles, the designs of Blurp and Deep Cheep are used to stand in for the green Cheep Cheeps in fitting with the bases of said styles. However, they are always treated simply as Cheep Cheeps (and it doesn't even act like Deep Cheep in NSMBU style). This proposal aims to reflect that: treating these as normal Cheep Cheeps that, for stylistic reasons, happen to resemble Blurp and Deep Cheep and not being Blurp and Deep Cheep themselves. They would not be completely excised from the pages, as the usage of their designs can be noted in an "other appearances and references" section'''(EDIT:, or can be noted in an abridged "Super Mario Maker/Super Mario Maker 2" section if that is preferred)'''.

::::Koopa Troopa in ''Mario Clash'' is built directly off Shellcreeper's original design, but it's not a direct appearance of Shellcreepers. Adult Yoshis for years used a design built off Baby Yoshis in ''Yoshi's Story'', but we don't consider those Baby Yoshis too. And then there's that whole kerfuffle that took years to sort out regarding Cheep Chomp being redesigned to resemble Boss Bass and subsequently recolored to look less like it. This is actually also fairly comparable to how the wiki formerly considered the Goombas in ''Mario Kart 7'' to be Big Goombas based on appearance alone. In some respects, it can also be compared to how Bullet Bill would occasionally use a design many people would more associate with Banzai Bills.

@HappyToad: This is a completely different situation to Bloobers being renamed to Bloopers. Those are the same thing but with different names, while these are different things but with the same name. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 05:49, October 16, 2021 (EDT)
