#{{User|Jazama}} Per all
#{{User|Koopa con Carne}} Per proposal. Peach and Daisy are different characters and the way one is treated should have no bearing on the other.
#{{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|WayslideCool}} Per all.

#[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) - She's only really called "Daisy" in the games where Peach is just called "Peach," which appears to be mainly an attempt to keep the names short (like how many of those same games call Donkey Kong "DK"). The only difference here is that that makes up most of Daisy's appearances, but it's still used otherwise. Granted, I can see it going either way, but reminder that the proposal to move the Koopalings to their more common short names failed.

#{{User|Sdman213}} Per all.
#{{User|Wallowigi}} Her title is central to her identity, especially since all of her game profiles point out that her character conflicts with the (inconfutable) fact she is a princess. Bowser and Rosalina are bad comparison; the former is seldom called a king (and is generally portrayed as the leader of a population, rather than the ruler of a physical place; he does not even wear a crown, thus he’ll be almost always called just Bowser, as if he was just an army general), while Rosalina’s nobility status is ambiguous. It has always been implied she is royalty (why would she wear a crown after all?) but has never been called a princess in-game, while Daisy has, and multiple times at that.
#{{User|SeanWheeler}} Per all.
#{{User|Shoey}} 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|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.

::::What is the functional difference between that and two separate proposals? The only thing I can think of is that it would be harder for a joint proposal covering two independent changes to reach a majority vote than two separate proposals, but I'm sure that can't be the reason you'd prefer the two princesses to be covered by the same proposal. {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 16:48, July 6, 2024 (EDT)

::::::As pointed out by Koopa con Carne at the top of this comment section, official sources aren't averse to doing exactly that. And again, I raise [[Jimmy T]] vs [[Jimmy P.|P.]], [[Mini-Mario]] vs [[Mini Luigi]], and [[Donkey Kong]] vs [[Baby DK]] - why so much concern about consistency between two separate characters with separate appearances and separate names? {{User:Hewer/sig}} 18:08, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
:::::::It just bothers me. Do I need a deeper reason? Others are welcomed to disagree. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 19:53, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
::::::::[[MarioWiki:Proposals]] suggests that a user "must have a strong reason" for their vote, and that other users can "call for the outright removal of the vote if it lacks sufficient reasoning". {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 13:15, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
:::::::::I thought my vote would be received as understandable and innocuous, not as controversial or unsubstantiated. Perhaps that was naïve of me. Allow me to further substantiate my vote.
:::::::::In the language (citing this article on {{wp|Film#Language|film}} for context on what I am referring to – I do not mean literal written text) of nearly all of the games in which they both appear, Peach and Daisy are intended to mirror each other, and it has been that case for multiple decades and as recently as the [[Super Mario Bros. Wonder|latest mainline game entry]] in 2023. The relationship between these two as presented is comparable to that of Mario and Luigi, and I think to suggest that is unreasonable or subjective is not substantiated by the games they appear in together.
:::::::::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)


People keep bringing up Rosalina, but has she ''ever'' been treated as a "princess" in-game at any time? From what I've seen, she's usually treated as more of a queen, but it seems to be deliberately left vague. Much unlike Daisy.

:To my knowledge, Rosalina has never been directly called a princess in-game (only in paratext), but I'm also unaware of anything outside of paratext saying directly that she's royalty of any kind, and I don't know what "usually treated as more of a queen" is supposed to be referring to. Regardless, the example I used in the proposal itself ("King Bowser") is a better comparison, I think. Daisy is almost never called Princess Daisy, but it's not a strictly paratext-exclusive title like "Princess Rosalina". {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 16:41, July 6, 2024 (EDT)

:::"Lord" is probably just being used in a non-technical sense to show Bowser's minions' deference to him, and the other three sources for "princess" in the infobox on [[Rosalina]]'s article come straight from Nintendo. Either way though, I think we're losing track a bit of the point of this proposal - we aren't debating whether Daisy is a princess, we're debating whether she should be referred to by the name "Princess Daisy" or the name "Daisy", and the latter name is more common regardless of her royal status. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 18:02, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
::::Rosalina's thing makes me think more of Disney's "Princess" brand, wherein most are not actually princesses, and many aren't even royalty. My point is that Rosalina's a bad example. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:39, July 6, 2024 (EDT)


@Doc von Schmeltwick: One of the proposal's main points is that there has never been a game in which she's primarily called "Princess Daisy". This isn't just "most of Daisy's appearances", it's all of Daisy's appearances. The "other" cases where "Princess Daisy" is used are in the minority. The Koopalings proposal may have failed, but as I brought up above, it's now contrasted with several successful name shortening proposals, and honestly the Koopalings should be next in line. And do you have an example of the DK thing? Because I've played my share of Mario spin-offs and can't think of one where the primary names for these characters weren't "Peach", "Daisy", and "Donkey Kong". {{User:Hewer/sig}} 17:44, July 6, 2024 (EDT)

:''Every'' N64-era spinoff just called him "DK" on the select screen and often elsewhere. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:39, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
::Well, it's not the N64 era anymore. He's been "Donkey Kong" in every Mario Kart game since Double Dash, every Mario Tennis game except the first one, every Mario Golf game since Toadstool Tour, every Baseball, Strikers, and Party game, every Mario & Sonic game... and in all of these games, Daisy is just Daisy. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 19:23, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
{{@|Wallowigi}} This proposal is not suggesting that the wiki should stop referring to Daisy as a princess. It is suggesting that the wiki should not use "Princess Daisy" as the name of this article. Regardless of what royal titles Bowser may or may not hold, he is called "King Bowser" (or other similar things) about as often as Daisy is called "Princess Daisy". {{User:JanMisali/sig}} 16:15, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
::I know. The problem here is that Princess Daisy is indeed an official name that reflects Daisy's princess status; the fact that she is called just "Daisy" more often does not go against that "Princess Daisy" is her full "name". If anything, I'd bring the outfit matter as comparison: Daisy has worn her sports outfit in more games than she has her dress as of now, but her picture is (rightfully) portraying a render of her with a dress. I think both this and the name matter make clear that she is a princess first and foremost, with her “casualness” being a secondary trait. Going by the logic of the proposal, that values the number of occurrences rather than their importance, Daisy's profile picture should be changed to one in her sports outfit. Of course, that's not my only reason to oppose the proposal; I think I should have added a “per all, but also” at the start. My actual main concern is the discrepancy with Peach's article title, since it can lead to misconceptions for both new wiki users and newbies with the Mario series- they'd understand that the character is just a casual girl who so happens to be a princess, despite her having been created as a stand-in for Peach itself, thus as the princess of her kingdom, which is the setting of the game itself. The Mario fandom is already chock full of misconceptions (terminally online fans like me know), and the thought of Daisy as being this casual tomboy who is probably not even a princess is already widespread. Changing only Daisy's title and not Peach's despite the two having been created for the same purpose would only bring these misconceptions further. If anything, I would only be in favor of moving "Princess Daisy" to "Daisy" if "Princess Peach" is also moved to "Peach".[[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]])
:::No need to list every single trait that makes Daisy royalty, we know she is royalty. The proposal isn't about discounting Daisy's overall status as a princess, it's about dropping the "Princess" qualifier in the title of her article. "Princess Daisy" may be an official title, as the proposal points out, but the short version "Daisy" is used infinitely more across the franchise, even as far back as her debut appearance. [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s page isn't called "Professor Elvin Gadd" for a very similar reason: his full name may be Elvin Gadd, but the shortened form sees much more use. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:46, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
::::The problem is that I don't think how changing the title of the article just for the number of occurrences of "Daisy" compared to "Princess Daisy" is a benefit for the wiki and/or the fandom in any way. Just re-read what I've said about her outfit. I've been a bit on the long side with words, but basically what I meant to say is "she’s Princess Daisy who occasionally wears sports clothes and is called just Daisy, not the contrary despite the effective number of occurrences of her titled name (and dress) are actually less". Calling the article "Daisy", or swapping her picture from her dress to her sports outfit just because of the number of appearances, would imply the character's royalty status is just an occasional persona of her. [[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]])
:::::Her outfit is completely irrelevant to the proposal and what it seeks to accomplish. You're the first one to bring up her physical appearance.<br>"Calling the article 'Daisy' [...] would imply the character's royalty status is just an occasional persona of her." Then again, we can't tell that Mario is a hero or plumber, that Rosalina is the protector of the cosmos, or that Donkey Kong is the leader of the Kong family from their page titles alone. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 18:15, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
:::::I'm a bit confused by your dismissal of how much the name is used, and your earlier allusion to "importance" of appearances being a factor. What's an "important" appearance? And more importantly, how does that matter, considering that ''none'' of Daisy's appearances have primarily called her "Princess Daisy"? {{User:Hewer/sig}} 19:02, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
::::::{{@|Koopa con Carne}} the outfit thing is to make a comparison, with the priority to number of appearances and all. If the title of a page should reflect the most used name for a character, why shouldn't the profile picture reflect the most common physical appearance of them? That's why the proposal seems flawed to me. Also I'm pretty sure Peach has been also called just Peach in more games than she has Princess Peach, so I really don't understand why change Daisy and not her as well (or, for the matter, add "King" to Bowser's page title). {{@|Hewer}} none? :/ Not even Super Mario Land, where she is called "Daisy Princess" (a misnomer, but still “princess Daisy” backwards)? My "dismissal" of the number of appearances of a name, I've pointed out that just above with the case of Peach. [[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]])
:::::::She isn't called "Daisy Princess" or "Princess Daisy" in SML, she's just called "Daisy". What you're referring to is the game's manual, which is a tier lower than the game itself according to the [[MarioWiki:Naming#Acceptable sources for naming|source priority policy]]. "If the title of a page should reflect the most used name for a character, why shouldn't the profile picture reflect the most common physical appearance of them?" Because the infobox picture and the article's title are two completely distinct aspects of this character and one of them had never once been mentioned in the proposal or the ensuing 30-comment discussion until you did. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 19:24, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
::::::::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. [[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]])
:::::::::"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)
::::::::::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}}

== 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.

:Has it been confirmed anywhere, though? [[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]])

== 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.

== Split {{fake link|Warudeijī}} from [[Daisy]] ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|8-0|Split}}
'''Warudeijī''' is [[Daisy|Daisy's]] evil alter ego after being brainwashed by Wario in the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)| Super Mario Kodansha manga]]. When she transforms into Warudeijī, her appearance and personality change like when Luigi transforms into [[Mr. L]]. I see no reason why this hasn't already been split seeing as there are separate articles for [[Bowser|Bowser's]] alter egos from the Mario Land 2 Kodansha manga like [[King Tetris]] and [[Golf Daiō]].

Okay, but more characters were corrupted in that storyline. Why stop at Waldaisy when there's also <s>(not the same) Waluigi and</s> (an attempt at) Walpeach? EDIT: Didn't see your other proposal. Still, could "derived names" apply here if you wanted to use the name "Waldaisy" instead, going by Waluigi/Walpeach naming conventions?

:Where ''is'' the Warupīchi proposal, anyway? If I remember what I've heard from the Kodansha manga correctly, first Wario corrupts Daisy into Warudeīji, then he and Warudeīji corrupt Peach into Warupīchi, and then Warudeīji seduces Luigi into Waruīji, but it looks like Warupīchi is being skipped. I guess because we don't have an image of Warupīchi on [[Gallery:Super Mario (Kodansha manga)]] yet (which talk page the other proposal takes place on), but still. {{User:Arend/sig}} 11:59, January 17, 2025 (EST)
::She's a tiny gag because she doesn't have enough badness in her heart to turn evil or something. I think she just flips Waldaisy's dress and runs away giggling like that was the most naughty she can do. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:04, January 17, 2025 (EST)
:::I see. Still deserves an image at the very least, which I think is easily attainable from [https://imgur.com/a/kc-mario-vol-20-super-mario-land-2-part-2-UJLtV#0 the same] [https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=14805.0 sources] as the Warudeīji and Waruīji panels. EDIT: [[:File:KC Deluxe Warupeach.png|done]]. {{User:Arend/sig}} 12:12, January 17, 2025 (EST)
Does Peach actually transform into Warupīchi? I was under the assumption that Warudeīji tries but fails to transform her because of the goodness in her heart.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 17:39, January 17, 2025 (EST)
:I mean, Peach's crown and lower portion of her dress do change color to black after Warudeīji corrupts her, and her behavior does seem to have changed a little, and Peach even calls herself Warupīchi. {{User:Arend/sig}} 17:51, January 17, 2025 (EST)
In that case, I'll create a proposal for Warupīchi as well.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 18:04, January 17, 2025 (EST)
:If memory serves, the normal Daisy and Peach have a love-rivalry over Mario in the manga, so Waldaisy looks at Walpeach as if thinking, 'why is she annoying me even ''more'' than before?' [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 08:28, January 18, 2025 (EST)
I need a lot more information for this proposal before proceeding like this. {{User:Mario/sig}} 18:42, January 17, 2025 (EST)
Changed the proposal reasoning to clarify better who the character is.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 19:01, January 17, 2025 (EST)
