I want to move this to big venus fire trap but I'm not sure how. someone move to BVFT??? the Yoshi co.
- Well, a discussion should take place first. That said, there is not currently any citation for "Big Fire Piranha Plant", so unless one can be found, I'd support the move.

- I think it was named Big Fire Piranha Plant in the New Super Mario Bros. 2 Prima guide. I'll check once I get the chance. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 17:32, 7 August 2017 (EDT)
- That's where the citation for "Big Venus Fire Trap" comes from. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:33, 7 August 2017 (CT)
- Well, if it's not NSMB2, maybe it's named Big Fire Piranha Plant in the New Super Mario Bros. U Prima guide. If it is named that, then I guess this page doesn't need to be moved. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 21:48, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
- Nope. It's not named in the New Super Mario Bros Wii or U Prima guides, and obviously, the NSMB2 name is already there. Technically, policy says that the name "Piranha FLower" should take precedence as it's from a game, but frankly it's an unhelpfully undescriptive name and the Prima name is much better.

- Latest Game: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. What does that game do? Calls everything given a Super Mushroom Big. Big Fire Piranha Plant is it's latest name.

- It does not. They don't tack on "Big" to the names vocally there last time I checked. And "Piranha Flower" is the same situation as with Klepto being "The Big Bird," Whomp King being "Whomp," and Dorrie being "Swimming Beast in the Cavern." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:16, 8 August 2017 (CT)
- There's also the Player's Guide, which also takes priority over the Prima guide, but again, it's not a good name. I'm willing to make another proposal to decide this, if it comes to that. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:33, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
- I don't think this needs a proposal. We just need to agree on either Big Venus Fire Trap or Piranha Flower. It's not uncommon for use to use a name outside of the official games if the name in guides makes more sense.I think Big Venus Fire Trap is a better name than Piranha Flower, imo. 22:36, 8 August 2017 (EDT)

- Barring Scorchit (whose proposal was made at Walkazo's suggestion), I can't think of a single example of that besides Klamber/Scuttlebug (and even then, Walkazo explained why that situation was complicated. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:40, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
- According to MarioWiki:Naming, an article should be named as "the most commonly used English name of the subject". However, since the "most common" name is currently unsourced and we have sources for the other names. In game names take priority, so Piranha Flower would be the option to go with, I guess. 22:44, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
- Which is then why I suggested making a proposal to have the name be "Big Venus Fire Trap", since "Piranha Flower" is an unhelpfully vague name (and why I brought up Scorchit, in which this same situation occurred). Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:47, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
- Nah, most common would be Big Venus Fire Trap. Who even likes the name "Fire Piranha Plant," anyway? Nobody uses it unless they have to, ergo, not commonly used. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:49, 8 August 2017 (CT)
