| While the Shy Guy Ghost article refers mainly to the ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', the part about the ghosts from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' appears disjointed compared to the rest of the article. These Shy Guy ghosts resemble [[Boo Guy]]s more, and they have different functions (they transform into a block depending on what button Mario hits). | | While the Shy Guy Ghost article refers mainly to the ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', the part about the ghosts from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' appears disjointed compared to the rest of the article.

| We should split the ones that appear in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' to [[Polterguy]] rather than lump them into the same article. Polterguys serve also the same function: transform into harmless blocks when a switch matching their color is pressed. Polterguys look the same, act the same... they are probably the same as Shy Guy Ghosts from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''. | | We should split the ones that appear in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' to [[Shy Guy Ghost (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)]] rather than lump them into the same article. |

| #[[User:Lord Grammaticus|Lord Grammaticus]] ([[User talk:Lord Grammaticus|talk]]) One's a ghost with a removable mask, and the other shifts between ghost and block, more than good enough reason to separate them.
| |
| #{{User|Icemario}} Per proposal.
| |
| #{{User|Randombob-omb4761}} They look exactly alike.
| |
| #{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} I have no idea why these were together in the first place. The only trait they share is being ghosts of Shy Guys. They have different appearances, different purposes, and appear in completely different games.

| #{{User|Walkazo}} - Per all.

| ::The title of the Talk Page Proposal is to simply split the section, so I can revise it to include [[Polterguy]]s. I need voters' okay, though. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:55, 7 January 2014 (EST)

| ==Dancing Ghost Guy==
| |
| As you can see in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smqaLaiWbaQ this video] (at the 10:55 mark), Green ghost guys are named ''Dancing Ghost Guys'' in the Nintendo 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion, saying that they are ''One of a pair of dancing Ghost Guys who attack as they twirl'', likely referencing the Ghost Guys in the Ball room. Would this warrant a spit, as this would mean that they are considered separate enemies? {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:03, 12 December 2018 (EST)
| |
| :They probably should be. Also, that's not the best way to link to things on talk pages, but I fixed that for you. Anyways, they have distinct visual and behavioral difference, so I'd say a split may be warranted now that we have a separate name for them. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:07, 12 December 2018 (EST)
| |
| ::Yeah, these should be split. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 21:35, 28 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| ::That's probably cause enough for a split, yeah. Anyone else have comments? --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 14:38, October 2, 2019 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :''It's been fifteen long months...'' (collapses into dust)
| |
|
| |
| But seriously, should we go ahead with a proposal for splitting this since no one else has commented? --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 15:44, March 4, 2020 (EST)
| |
| :I doubt that a proposal is even needed, the game itself gives them the name "Dancing Ghost Guy". {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 15:58, March 4, 2020 (EST)
| |
| ::Plus there's [[Dancing Spear Guy|precedent]]. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 16:00, March 4, 2020 (EST)
| |
| :There doesn't seem to have been any opposition raised, which is the only reason I'm asking - I'd rather deal with that now than after the fact. Otherwise I'm pretty much on board. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 17:04, March 4, 2020 (EST)
