*'''We may be using a fan-made name'''. So what if a fan-made name was officially used? Fan-made names are officially used all of the time such as with Shiny Pokemon, does Bulbapedia ignore that name because it was fan-made? No, because it has officially used and thus is official, regardless of were it came from. | *'''We may be using a fan-made name'''. So what if a fan-made name was officially used?

It would not, Nipper Dandelions are '''never''' mentioned in the book, and unlike the book were one of the translators admitted to plagiarism we have no idea if | *'''This would contradict the ''SMBE'' proposal!'''

*'''We may be citing ourselves''' {{quote|We're not really citing ourselves anymore in this case though, we're citing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The name was mentioned in-game, and as far as I care that's as official as you can get, and MarioWiki:Naming agrees. Like I've said, it's one thing to cite a book that blatantly copied from us; it's completely different to cite a name confirmed in a game by Nintendo themselves.|Waluigi Time}} | *'''We may be citing ourselves''' {{quote|We're not really citing ourselves anymore in this case though, we're citing Super Smash Bros.

*'''What about other similar situations?''' Nipper Dandelion is different from these other situations that may involve conjectural names being used. [[Rudy the Clown]] had a valid English name before with him getting an expansion of his name in a brief mention in a third-party game (I would now oppose moving his page back to Rudy due to the fact the "the Clown" is a logical extension, fan-made names can become official, we do not know if ''FS'' plagiarized, etc., but that is a different discussion), [[Ghost (Piranha Plant)|Ghosts]] have a valid non-generic English name from a ''YIDS'' guide while being generically named in two ''SSB'' games, and [[Fire Nipper Plant]] is not only an extremely logical name but also a direct translation of its Japanese name, and they have several other valid English names. These situations are different and thus should not be compared. | *'''What about other similar situations?'''
