#{{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|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)". Per all.

#{{User|Shoey}} Per all.
#{{User|MCD}} - Per all.
#{{User|MCD}} - Per all.
#{{User|SmokedChili}} Per all. Like with the Koopalings' full names, "Princess Daisy" as an article title has innate disambiguation in case an object or another character named "Daisy" appears and gets coverage on this wiki, so I see keeping this as it is as a long-term failsafe.
#{{User|Windy}} Per Doc von Schmeltwick.
#{{User|Shadow2}} This'll just lead to a weird, distracting inconsistency and won't really solve any issues. [[User:Shadow2|Shadow2]] ([[User talk:Shadow2|talk]]) 16:46, July 10, 2024 (EDT)
#{{User|FanOfRosalina2007}} Per Wallowigi and Doc von Schmeltwick. We might as well rename [[Princess Peach]] to just {{fake link|Peach}} if we do this, and that's even less needed in my opinion.
#{{User|Sparks}} Per all.

:::::::::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.

:::::::::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)

::::::::::I think I understand your position now (Thank you for clarifying! It's very helpful, genuinely.), but I still don't understand why that position means you're voting against the change this proposal suggests. Imagine if I had made a version of the proposal where moving this article and moving "Princess Peach" to "Peach" are presented as two independent options. I'll assume that moving Peach would be about as controversial as this suggestion to move Daisy has been, but that having a "move both Peach and Daisy" option would sway a significant number of people would otherwise not want to move Princess Daisy to Daisy. I'd expect the end result of that to be something around one third of people suggesting to move both Peach and Daisy, one third of people suggesting to only move Daisy, and one third of people suggesting not to move either article. None of these options reach a majority vote, so the proposal is delayed multiple times until it eventually it ends without any consensus, and by default nothing happens and neither article is moved. Alternatively, if moving both articles ''does'' get a majority vote, fully implementing the change would take longer for "Princess Peach" than it would for "Princess Daisy", so there would still be an awkward transitional period where we have "Daisy" and "Princess Peach". In what way would this address your concerns here that wouldn't be better handled by two separate proposals? {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 10:26, July 8, 2024 (EDT)


::::::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)

::::::::::If you're sure you're trying to adhere to a policy that reportedly states what you've said, why make a proposal, then? :/ If you've made a proposal, you should expect at least some disagreement, as I've said before. I'm also not the only lone contrarian to disagree with your proposal, as there are other 12 people who have their own reasons to (as I've said, we're not "teams", nor do I consider them my "allies" since it’s not war), but they still are a considerable number of people. You could have just changed the article name to have your "victory" (at least before somebody would have probably reverted it back).[[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]])

:::::::::::What point are you trying to make? Who are you replying to with the "we're not teams" thing? Nobody before you framed it in that way. I'm not trying to win an argument; I'm trying to correct what appear to be misunderstandings of what this proposal is suggesting and the reasons it has for suggesting it. Part of the responsibility of making a proposal is to clear up things like that when they happen. {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 20:27, July 7, 2024 (EDT)

:::::::::::No one except you ever said that they expected no opposition, that you are a "lone contrarian", that we're "teams" in a "war", or that we're trying to achieve "victory". You appear to have made up all that pretence for the sake of your strawman argument. (Also, in response to what you said earlier, people can respond to each other's points in a conversation without implying a division of "teams" or a "wrong and right", I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at here.) {{User:Hewer/sig}} 05:31, July 8, 2024 (EDT)

{{@|SmokedChili}} I don't think that's completely fair. Using the Koopalings as an example, [[Roy (Mario Tennis: Power Tour)|another ''Mario'' character named Roy has an article]], but [[Roy]] still redirects to the Koopaling. Even if another Daisy is introduced, it is very unlikely that Princess Daisy would stop being the primary "Daisy" people associate with the greater ''Super Mario'' franchise, for the same reason [[Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|the several pieces of media called ''Super Mario Bros.'']] don't mean we have to move ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' to "''Super Mario Bros.'' (Nintendo Entertainment System)". {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 09:04, July 8, 2024 (EDT)
:That SMB example requires an identifier courtesy of us, try more like Super Mario RPG. With Roy redirecting to Roy Koopa and Daisy to Princess Daisy, I see no problem with an exception for shortened name used as a shortcut for a full name. And now that I checked, we're actually late on [[Peach Blossom#Daisy Blossom|another "Daisy" article]]. [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 18:10, July 8, 2024 (EDT)
::I don't think I understand this response. The point of the SMB example is that, like Daisy, it doesn't require an identifier, not that it does. And what makes the shortened names acceptable as redirects but not article titles? And are you really suggesting the big daisies in Smash that show up for a few seconds at a time and aren't even notable enough for their own page could have any chance at taking priority over the major recurring character (the very character who produces them) for the "Daisy" name? {{User:Hewer/sig}} 15:08, July 9, 2024 (EDT)
{{@|FanOfRosalina2007}} This proposal is not about Princess Peach. That would be a separate proposal. {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 08:49, July 12, 2024 (EDT)
:@JanMisali: Okay, I used the wrong wording there. I am completely aware that this is a separate proposal. I didn't express my opinion correctly, but I can't think of any other way to put it. I'll go ahead and remove that statement. {{unsigned|FanOfRosalina2007}}
::Other people have used Peach as an argument in this proposal. I don't see anything wrong with your statement. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 03:01, July 14, 2024 (EDT)
== If Daisy gets voiced by Deanna Mustard again in Super Mario Party Jamboree, do we change the latest portrayal to Deanna Mustard? ==
Since it’s not a port, it seems like this issue will probably come up. Giselle might have it better listed as a 2023 only portrayal until (maybe) she officially comes back. Like how Kerri Kane did one game and then Laura Faye Smith became Rosalina’s voice actress, but it went right back to Kerri after for Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, Mario Golf: World Tour, and Super Smash Bros. 3DS. [[Special:Contributions/47.223.58.232|47.223.58.232]] 07:51, July 29, 2024 (EDT)
:Has it been confirmed anywhere, though? [[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]])
::Confirmed to changed to new voice actors, ''including'' Waluigi. [[User:Windy|Windy]] ([[User talk:Windy|talk]]) 12:02, October 16, 2024 (EDT)
== I have a small piece of missing information for Daisy's article, but her article is protected. ==
Daisy's article features a relationship section. When it's stated that Luigi has a crush on Daisy in Mario Party 4's strategy guide, there is a citation that the page number is missing. I've found that this information is on page 6. I'm not very familiar with wiki stuff or article editing, so I might just be oblivious to a policy of referencing official scans on strategy guides.
