Talk:The Princess Peach

Shouldn't the name of this page be "Princess Peach (Cruise Ship)" or something along those lines?
I know saying "The" helps distinguish it from the character and they say it every time, but they only do because it's a ship, it's not actually part of the name since it's lowercase (when it's not at the start of a sentence, of course).
As is this is just including the definite article of the subject of the page.--Kombatgod (talk) 18:17, December 11, 2020 (EST)

Also, maybe it's not noted in the in-game description, but should the name be italicized as names of other cruise ships? Anyhow, yeah, it should probably be renamed to Princess Peach (Cruise Ship) if "The" isn't part of its name, as you said. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:22, December 11, 2020 (EST)

It is part of the name, in the map, in the on-screen name when visiting the area, and in the Collectible Treasure.

If we're going to italicise the name then we should do it for every other ship as well like S.S. Flavion. Mario JC 18:52, December 11, 2020 (EST)

The ship is officially called "The Princess Peach" everywhere in-game. And there are already distinguish templates at the top of both this article and the actual character's article, so that should hopefully be enough. As for italicising ship names, the Kingdom Hearts Wiki does that too but to be honest, I don't think it's absoloutely necessary here. Nightwicked Bowser

I think you're wrong in saying that's the name of the ship: everytime they mention its name in dialogue the "the" is lowercase. I am convinced that the page should probably be called "The Princess Peach" since that's the name of the in-game location, but I still don't think it's the name of the ship itself, I think the distinction should be made. Basically "The Princess Peach" is the name of the gameplay area including the Princess Peach.--Kombatgod (talk) 06:35, December 12, 2020 (EST)

There's a similar discussion here, but what I take is that since "the" is part of the location label and "prefixed" in other mentions it is technically part of the title. I'm also going to add that I strongly disagree with italicizing boat names, including S.S. Flavion, because that's just not how it's formatted in the source. At the very least, it needs to be up to a proposal first. This is fiction, not the real world, and the same rules don't always apply, much less by Nintendo.

When I asked Ray Trace about it, he responded with this link, but I agree that it could actually use further discussion. Nightwicked Bowser

Yes, but that's regarding a real-life subject; a title of a game would be italicized for instance, but not a title in a game (by most of Nintendo's standards), if that makes sense. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:24, December 12, 2020 (EST)
