Move to Cannon (enemy)?

Shouldn't we move this to Cannon (enemy), even though the localizers mistaked it as a generic cannon? It's a less specific name though, here's the redirect created around June 2011: (cur | prev) 16:25, June 30, 2011‎ SWFlash (talk | contribs)‎ . . (21 bytes) (+21)‎ . .

I think so; the source priority exception proposal doesn't apply to in-game names (of which this is also more recent), and the name Kaboomba sounds too much like a type of Goomba. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:08, March 20, 2019 (EDT)

I agree, though, what gets it complicated, is that Petey Piranha was mislocalized as Boss P. Plant, likely due to them thinking it was a new boss. Cannon sounds too generic for me. -- FanOfYoshi 08:11, March 20, 2019 (EDT)

Boss P. Plant was corrected to Petey Piranha in PAL territories as opposed to Cannon, which points to it being an intentional retranslation. If Volcano Lotus gets to be renamed to Volcano Plant due to the glossary, I don't see why this must be an exception. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:28, March 20, 2019 (EDT)
