I would like to split Dribble and Spitz up as they aren't even the same person, we got to keep consistency (and lately, that's what we're trying to fix right now). Wikipedia doesn't have Batman and Robin as one article even though that title was ''officially'' used in comics, TV, and movies. Word to those possible opposers, it doesn't matter if they are categorized as a duo, they're both separate people and deserve as much respect to have their own article; still opposing? then think about this, how come 9-Volt and 18-Volt have separate articles if they are always shown together? Also, Dribble and Spitz have their own separate information from Wario Ware games, that should be enough to split them apart since there will be enough information in the article to make them separate regular size articles. And plus, the Wario Ware series hasn't ended, sequels will be made and they'll most likely have an appearance in those games also.

Dribble and Spitz's taxi is not a regular taxi. It can transform into a rocketship to fly into space, and it regularly does so. The items and objects inside the taxi often serve as the lives for Dribble and Spitz's stages. In ''Twisted'', the taxi has a radio that changes the music during the stage, and it falls into disrepair during the story. In ''Touched'', new hosts are dropped off on the main screen by the taxi (with no indications that Dribble and Spitz are driving it). In ''Game & Wario'', [[Taxi (minigame)|an entire minigame]] centers around the taxi. By any standards, the taxi is more than notable enough to be split. And no, the article should not be merged solely because it isn't seen separately from its users, for the same reason that [[Princess Peach's Crown]] and [[Mario's Cap]] aren't merged: if the subject in question has enough prominence without an obscene amount of overlap, they should receive separate articles so that they can be covered more effectively. I argue that, for both its gameplay and story relevance, the taxi has more than enough prominence.

I feel like we need consistency in the WarioWare articles. Dribble and Spitz are night and day, just like Ashley and Red. So why are they split, but Dribble and Spitz are still together? Should we keep the page like this, or split for consistency?

#{{User|BubbleRevolution}} I never saw the point in grouping two wholly separate characters together simply because they typically appear as a pair. The recent WarioWare site gives them separate profiles, and unlike characters such as the [[Starshade Bros.]] or the [[Jellyfish Sisters]], who are nearly identical in terms of personality and appearance with little to distinguish them, both Dribble and Spitz have extremely distinct appearances and personalities. I'd be in favor of splitting Kat and Ana for similar reasons.

#{{User|Shadow2}} This wiki is frustratingly inconsistent sometimes. We have entire articles dedicated to the tiniest characters with the smallest roles, or objects with very little significance, but we lump these two ''major'' characters together because...I don't know, they're partners who work together? [[Chuck Quizmo]] and [[Vanna T.]] work together, why don't they share an article? Why not lump [[Jimmy T.]] and [[Jimmy P.]] together, they're basically the exact same character? [[Cloaker]] and [[Domino]] don't appear apart from each other, but they have separate articles. "Always appear together" is not a sound argument. Neither is basing this entirely on ''Get it together''. So they share a gameplay style in one single game, so what? Mario and Luigi share a gameplay style in plenty of games, but you don't see them merged. They are distinct characters with distinct designs and distinct personalities. They should be separate.

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per what everybody else has been saying--as it stands, the reason they're merged is because they have always appeared together, and thus far the duos that get featured individually get splits whereas the ones who only appear in unison stay merged. We'd give it until Nintendo decides to actually showcase the two individually before splitting--that being said, the moment that becomes a thing, you can be assured we'd support a split almost immediately. ;P
#{{User|SolemnStormcloud}} Per all.
