Seriously? I find this case ridiculous. Why would 2 characters that are from SPM and have the same name be merged? They don't affiliate with each other in any ways.

So, what will we call the two articles? I mean, we can't put (Flipside), since they're both in Flipside, nor can we put (Super Paper Mario), since they're both in SPM. --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 21:21, 11 June 2011 (EDT)
Will rename the one of the Chaps to Glim since one of they're names are that in the PAL version.--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}
:But we use the first official english name, and the first one was Chap. Renaming it to Glim would be inconsistent. --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 22:36, 11 June 2011 (EDT)
::The only other option would be to do it by color ones blue ones green {{User|Goomba's Shoe15}}
:::It may be inconsistent to rename it to Glim, but I think it was a mistake in the US version that they were both called Chap. Two different characters should not have had the same name, and it's a mistake that was corrected for the PAL release. Therefore, his name should have been Glim in the first place. If you look at it that way, it's not an inconsistency but a correction. [[User:Avengah|Avengah]] 22:56, 11 June 2011 (EDT)
::::We don't know what Nintendo was thinking. We don't know if it was an error, or if it was intentional to confuse players. With a lack of knowledge, we can't change it to Glim, so right now I think what Goomba suggested is fine. --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 08:23, 12 June 2011 (EDT)
:::::It probably was a mistake, but yeah, for consistency, we need to use the "Chap" names. Even in species where we split them based on having different names in other regions (and different appearances), they still use the first English name, but with different parentheses. I agree that calling one "Chap (green)" and the other "Chap (blue)" would work, but alternatively, their more specific location could be used: "Chap (second floor)" and "Chap (The Underwhere)". The latter seems more consistence with how we differentiate other things, but the former is just as clear about which is which (unless someone's got blue-yellow colour-blindness (a.k.a. tritanopia), but that's pretty rare). - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 15:05, 26 June 2011 (EDT)
==Just to add==
Oops, I put it in the proposal before realising that it's settled, so I've moved it here.
Careful when using things like "second floor". Don't forget that the floors are named differently in the different versions; the English version has "Ground floor", "First floor", "Second floor"; while the US version has "First floor", "Second floor", "Third floor". [[User:Avengah|Avengah]] 03:49, 27 June 2011 (EDT)}}
:I suppose that should be kept in mind, but I don't think it's a huge issue here. We can simply go with the North American version since it came first; it shouldn't really inconvenience the PAL folks' navigation, since they shouldn't even be looking for a "third floor Chap", seeing as he's called Glim in that region. On the other hand, The Underwhere Chap is always "Chap" and he's always in the bar, so there's no issue that that name at all. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 12:58, 27 June 2011 (EDT)
::Also, naming the pages based on their different in-game locations would be consistent with how we handled the ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Dry Bones ([[Dry Bones (Teehee Valley)]], with the other one labeled as "Dry Bones (Hoohoo Mountain) " in the [[Template:ML:SS|navigation template]]. I really think using this method for the Chaps would be better than the informal colours. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 13:39, 11 July 2011 (EDT)
:::Well they are in the same location.(Flipside)--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}
==Split?==
Why hasn't this been split yet?--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}
:Because you have to split them see rule 11 {{User|Goomba's Shoe15}}
::Ok.--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}
