Even if what I did over a month ago wasn't properly agreed upon, the show must go on.

I'm really not sure why these are merged to begin with, especially given that their only similarity is that they're the same type of key. Other than that, they're both used in different games and have different designs. All in all, I think it makes much more sense for these to be split.

Support

1. Toadette the Achiever (talk) Per proposal.
2. Alex95 (talk) - "Same item, different game" isn't much of a reason to be split on it's own. That said, I don't remember any X-Naut Fortresses in Super Paper Mario.
3. Duckfan77 (talk) Per all.
4. FanOfYoshi (talk) Per all.

Oppose

1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) Same name in every language, same general purpose, same generic subject, splitting would inflate article count over what amounts to splitting hairs. I repeat: this is a repeated use of a generic subject, a thing that exists in real life. It's not like these are an especially important plot coupon, we should group based on concept. Otherwise we'd split every differently acting Goomba.
2. Waluigi Time (talk) Per Doc, I really don't think we need to be splitting keys as much as we have been.

Comments

@Doc: The "concept" basis is more easily applied to subjects originating within the Mario universe than to generic subjects. And let's be clear that this policy applies to articles like this one, but cannot be applied to exclusively in-universe subjects by the same logic. ^(T|C) 12:53, May 1, 2020 (EDT)
