In the article, it say - '''In Paper Mario: Sticker Star they are known as meteors'''. I put template for reference. It make me remember also that the first level of Peach's Castle in New Super Mario Bros. U was name [[Meteor Moat]]. Maybe '''meteor''' is the official name?--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 06:52, 15 May 2015 (EDT) | In the article, it say - '''In Paper Mario: Sticker Star they are known as meteors'''.

:Meteor Moat certainly adds credence to the idea that Meteor is the official name. Even if we don't have a quote handy at the moment (I'm sure Kersti or another NPC mentions it), I'd almost suggest simply renaming this to Meteor with the <nowiki>{{Bettersource}}</nowiki> tag since it's there's at least a bit more evidence than the current name.

They are mostly name meteor in some recent games. In New Super Mario Bros. U, there is a level name [[Meteor Moat]], despite the fact, that in [[New Super Mario Bros. U]] this is mostly Bowser's fireball. As the article say, in [[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]] they are known as meteors despite a reference would be necessary. In general, the meteors of the Super Mario Galaxy games look and act the same as the ones from Paper Mario: Sticker Star and the New Super Mario Bros. series, and also seem to be named from an in-game level from Super Mario Galaxy, [[Melty Molten Galaxy|Through the Meteor Storm]]. It make evidences they are the same. | They are mostly name meteor in some recent games. In New Super Mario Bros.

#{{User|Mario}} As I said, "'meteors' apply to space rocks that have entered a planet, not pyroclastic matter. The name we have at this moment is clunky, however. Unless this 'meteor' name has made more appearances than just this level, we don't use it." Finally, the ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' argument is a weak one because there is a citation needed tag attached to it. This is an issue of nomenclature for the most part, and I prefer "raining debris". It's fine the way it is now. | #{{User|Mario}} As I said, "'meteors' apply to space rocks that have entered a planet, not pyroclastic matter. The name we have at this moment is clunky, however.

#{{User|Baby Luigi}} I don't like the "Raining Debris" name, it sounds too...layman and lack of vocabulary, how I say it. Possibly a better name is "Volcanic Rocks" or "Pyroclastic Rocks" (though the latter sounds too...ugh for the lack of a better word also, "professional" imo). But I don't like merging all of what the page has to offer into "Meteor". ''Maybe'' we could merge the New Super Mario Bros. U content into the Meteor article considering that it's sorta named that there. But I disagree with moving the entire page. As a very casual and very amateur astronomer, it just irks me to see the term "Meteor" also being used to describe volcanic matter which could perpetrate misconceptions. So definitely per 1337star and Mario on that regard. By the way, your [[Through the Meteor Storm]] example is weak, it clearly doesn't show that they're originated from the volcano from the planet, it shows that they're extraterrestrial in origin. I haven't played the game in a while though so I may be wrong. | #{{User|Baby Luigi}} I don't like the "Raining Debris" name, it sounds too...layman and lack of vocabulary, how I say it.
