#{{User|Shy Guy on Wheels}} Per proposal. This page being titled 'Princess Daisy' feels like something from years ago that people haven't questioned because it seems like it makes sense, but this proposal shows that her name just being "Daisy" is very a intentional and consistent choice. | #{{User|Shy Guy on Wheels}} Per proposal.

#{{User|Blinker}} I think the "keep names short" explanation stops making sense when the same games that use stuff like "Daisy" and "Larry" also have names like "Mr. Game & Watch" and "Light-blue Shy Guy (Explorer)".

:::::::::Consequently, I think to change the name of one character (Daisy) while leaving the other the same (Princess Peach), not only looks imbalanced, but also artificially trivializes their long-standing relationship by passively suggesting that Daisy is a wholistically different (and potentially even lesser) character to Peach. We as users may understand that to not be the case, but I uncritically felt that would be part of the impression to readers with a change for one without the other, in the same way a change of a name proposal affecting Luigi without Mario would be similarly received. Maybe that doesn’t matter to other users, and that’s fine. But it bothers me. | :::::::::Consequently, I think to change the name of one character (Daisy) while leaving the other the same (Princess Peach), not only looks imbalanced, but also artificially trivializes their long-standing relationship by passively suggesting that Daisy is a wholistically different (and potentially even lesser) character to Peach.

:::::::::Why is this different from characters like Baby DK or Jimmy P. and their respective counterparts? It is readily obvious. It is because these characters are far less significant. Peach and Daisy are among the most prolific and recurring characters in the entire media franchise. I think Baby DK has appeared in two games. The name discrepancy between him and the adult Donkey Kong is fundamentally unimportant with regards to how they are perceived, and it is silly to suggest it is an analogous situation. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 19:39, July 7, 2024 (EDT) | :::::::::Why is this different from characters like Baby DK or Jimmy P. and their respective counterparts?

::::::A proposal covering multiple articles at the same time doesn't mean the articles will be changed simultaneously. [[Goomba (film species)]] was merged about two months after [[Snifit (film species)]] even though they were decided by the same proposal, because those changes involved different amounts of work and were done by different editors. Changing "Princess Peach" to "Peach" site-wide would probably happen a little while after changing "Princess Daisy" to "Daisy" even if the two changes ''were'' approved simultaneously. {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 18:35, July 6, 2024 (EDT) | ::::::A proposal covering multiple articles at the same time doesn't mean the articles will be changed simultaneously.

::::::::The game manual is still an acceptable source, as it has not been made by Prima. It's official Nintendo material. Also, given the canonicity policy, the name "Princess Daisy" is just as canon as Daisy is. It is not obsolete (see "Toadstool" for Peach, which has never been in use since the latter's confirmation), nor it has ever been retconned (heck, they still refer to her as Princess Daisy and mention Sarasaland when it could have been retconned a long time ago). In regards of the infobox, I don't see what is so different when the policies for the title to give an article and for the picture to be put in it are pretty much the same ([element] that is used the most/being judged the most representative of a character). Plus, do you really have to be so heated over a comment I haven't even made, but ''answered''? AND reply to the point I've given in response to Hewer? We're not having a fight or a trial here. There's no "wrong" and "right", and you should expect opposition. After all, if you really put it in teams (which is petty and childish if you ask me), we're 13 to 13, so this proposal might even fail. Don't hold your hopes that much high for something that is not even that serious.

:::::::::"Canon" isn't in question here. As the proposal acknowledges, Princess Daisy ''is'' her full title. This is about the naming policy, which recommends using the most common in-game English name for a subject, and in this case that's "Daisy". {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 19:55, July 7, 2024 (EDT) | :::::::::"Canon" isn't in question here.
