See my comment above. The term "chuckster" is little more than a catchphrase used by the Piantas in that Pianta Village sub-area. The closest any of them come to actually ''defining'' "chuckster" is that one at the beginning, which provides the quote at the top of the article. It fails to actually explain what a chuckster ''is'', but it implies that not all Piantas that throw are "chucksters", whatever that may be. Therefore, us defining "chuckster" as any Pianta that throws is pretty much fanwank. The very idea that Piantas that throw are a "variant" is ''also'' fanwank; throwing is just a thing Piantas do, even if not all of them are ''seen'' doing it. | See my comment above.

Per the title of this proposal, I would like to rename this article back to Chuckster. I have not provided a merge option as I personally do believe these Piantas do fulfill a specific, identifiable gameplay function that warrants retaining their separate article. We have articles on similar gameplay-specific variants of existing species (with [[Woozy Guy]] being brought up in the previous proposal), and the NPC quoted at the top of the article does provide a fairly solid definition of these specific Piantas - one that will chuck you upward or backward when spoken to. | Per the title of this proposal, I would like to rename this article back to Chuckster.

#{{User|Shy Guy on Wheels}} Per all. It's literally the name used in-game, I really don't think it's that complex. | #{{User|Shy Guy on Wheels}} Per all. It's literally the name used in-game, I really don't think it's that complex. | ||

<s>#{{user|7feetunder}} My stance is unchanged. The idea to rename this page to begin with wasn't mine; I always wanted to merge the thing, and I still do. As Hewer said on the last proposal, we don't have a separate article for the Volbonans stuck to walls that fling Mario when he captures them, and this is pretty much the same deal. I have no interest in undoing the rename either - the term "chuckster" may be official, but the definition we're trying to assign to it is still effectively fanon. The counterargument effectively boils down to "it's close enough", which is not convincing me | #{{User|Hewer}} The reason I supported the move was solely because of the most recent name policy, since I believe Pianta Thrower is the most recent name. The proposal doesn't really address this argument, just says that we should prioritise the older guide for some reason. Also, what most fans call it is not a valid argument for moving pages, see [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Blue Shell]]. | ||

:: I honestly thought this reply was kind of nonsensical at first glance but no actually you raise a valid point. If the most recent source including non-game information applies, then the article actually SHOULD be called Blue Shell now lol. --[[User:Fun With Despair|Fun With Despair]] ([[User talk:Fun With Despair|talk]]) 09:35, September 20, 2023 (EDT) | :: I honestly thought this reply was kind of nonsensical at first glance but no actually you raise a valid point.
