Editing Talk:Gabon

== Spike ==
Should this be merged with [[Spike]]? "Gabon" is Spike's Japanese name, and he's consistently kept it  in most of his appearances in Japanese versions of games. --[[User:YellowYoshi398|YellowYoshi398]] 20:41, 2 February 2007 (EST)

Seems like just the basic subspecies. No merge.

:I agree. Don't merge it. [[User:Hisak|Hisak]] 12:32, 2 June 2007 (EDT)

I also agree, they act, look and are named differently. They could have another name in the Japanesse version, ya'know.

== Just a Character? ==
If I remember right, wasn't Gabon just a character in the intermission between levels?  Perhaps you guys are looking at a player's guide, but I'm pretty sure that the intermission was just a reference the single character that's mentioned in the article.  Basically, does anyone have any proof that this is a separate species and not just a single character? {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 13:09, 5 January 2008 (EST)

==Kirby?==
Gabon shares the exact same name with a Kirby enemy, although the two are drastically different: [http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/Gabon] Should I state that as trivia?--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
:It's coincidence. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}
::Probably, I don't even remember writing this. >_>--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
:::You wrote this four months ago. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}

==Merge to [[Spike]]==
This enemy's name is a transliteration of the Japanese name of [[Spike]]. Additionally, the two look and act similarly. Therefore, the different name is probably a simple translation oversight.

-#{{User|KS3}} Even though they look so different, they behave the same, spitting spiked balls out that can harm Mario and co.
-#{{User|Turkishcoffee}} They act the same and almost look similar. How many other enemies have had massive face lifts between games?

-Do you mean [[Lakilester]], [[Spike_(enemy)]] Or something else? I landed at a disambiguation page. I don't think many people would support the merging of an article when it's not clear what's being merged. --[[User:Turkishcoffee|Turkishcoffee]] 08:16, 5 April 2010 (EDT)
-:I believe he's refering to the enemy. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}
-::[[Lakilester]] is just the first Mario-related thing I think of when I hear "spike". Looking at the enemy, I'd say we should merge them. As written the proposal wants us to merge this with a disambiguation page. {{User|Turkishcoffee}}
