I think this title is a generic descriptor, as the in-game text is just "Capture the ghost!" The Japanese name is proper and official, so should we use that instead? {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 18:28, August 5, 2020 (EDT) | I think this title is a generic descriptor, as the in-game text is just "Capture the ghost!"

:There are actually a lot of other ''Wario Land II'' and ''Wario Land 3'' enemies that are just referred with lowercase, so this may have to be a broader discussion. For what it's worth, "Ghost" was one of the official names in [[Talk:Wario Land II#Enemy names|NoA's email response]], but it's not known if this was referring to the enemy or the boss ("Spear guy" was believed to refer to Pirate Goom at the time, but it turned out to be the giant spear man).

Restarting this discussion to see if we can get more consensus. According to the results of [[Talk:Wario Land II#Decide if unlocalized Wario Land II enemies should use Japanese or generic names|my recent proposal]] (and I forgot about Chūta), the "ghost" boss keeps its name. The issue is with the "ghost" enemy. Subjects that aren't mentioned in-game or in the [[Talk:Wario Land II#Enemy names|email]] were changed to Japanese names. This includes the bat and the eel, which are referred to generically in Nintendo Power and the official website. So it comes down to whether or not we think the email was referring to the "ghost" boss or enemy. If it's determined to refer to the boss, then the enemy will be the "Yūrei" article, and "Ghost (''Wario Land II'')" will be this article's new title.

For the record, I do think the email was referring to the enemy, since no final boss character is listed there besides the giant spear man joke boss, but I'm curious to see if anyone has other thoughts on the matter.
