They're essentially the same item. Also, look at the above discussion. We should do as Redstar says: "...easily merge them together by saying "The '''Elevator Key''' is the name of two items found in the game ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. And then we'd go into each of them as usual." | They're essentially the same item. Also, look at the above discussion.

These are so obviously different items that I don't think I need to detail exactly how they're different. Yes, they have the same name - should we also merge the [[Harry (Mario Tennis | These are so obviously different items that I don't think I need to detail exactly how they're different. Yes, they have the same name - should we also merge the [[Harry (Mario Tennis)|tennis player]] and the [[Harry (Mario Golf)|golfer]] for having the same name? If you want to make the case that the keys aren't notable enough to deserve individual articles, [[:Category:Keys|there's an entire category]] that disagrees with you. If you want to make the point that these keys shouldn't have articles in the first place, this is not the place to do so (and take note that [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_16#Merge_Keys_Articles|this has been attempted]] at least once before). Right now, let's make things consistent with the rest of the wiki and give these individual articles. One final point: You do not get rid of stubs by lumping a bunch of articles together. It's like trying to get rid of dust by sweeping it under a carpet; you've done nothing to actually alleviate the problem, you've only made it look like everything's fine. | ||
(There ''is'' a case to be made for keeping the two X-Naut Fortress keys together, so that option will be presented alongside an option to split all three of them.) | (There ''is'' a case to be made for keeping the two X-Naut Fortress keys together, so that option will be presented alongside an option to split all three of them.) | ||

#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} I feel this is the best option, as the key from Riverside Station looks very different from the ones in the X-Naut Fortress, which are key cards. However, I feel the only difference between the key cards is their color. | #{{User|TheFlameChomp}} I feel this is the best option, as the key from Riverside Station looks very different from the ones in the X-Naut Fortress, which are key cards.

#{{User|Alex95}} - The only thing I can find different is their appearances. They have the same name, game, and effect. I see no reason for a split. At least the two Harrys are completely different from each other. | #{{User|Alex95}} - The only thing I can find different is their appearances. They have the same name, game, and effect.

::::If someone's looking for information on only one of they keys, they get to be brought to an article covering only one of those keys.

:::::No, they'd be brought to a disambig listing several pages with the exact same name. Which, honestly, sounds detrimental to me.

Should the above proposal that merged the pages have passed in the first place? There are only three votes, and [[MarioWiki:Proposals]] states that "Any proposal that has three votes or less at deadline will automatically be listed as "NO QUORUM." --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 16:38, 16 August 2017 (EDT) | Should the above proposal that merged the pages have passed in the first place?

:[[Talk:Gabon#Merge_to_Spike_.28enemy.29|It's not the only proposal]] like that (and that rule was there since 2007). I'm not sure if it's too late to do something about it, but at the very least, this proposal will settle things properly for the Elevator Key proposal. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:41, 16 August 2017 (EDT) | :[[Talk:Gabon#Merge_to_Spike_.28enemy.29|It's not the only proposal]] like that (and that rule was there since 2007).
