Unlike the other Doctor characters from Dr. Mario World, Dr. Luigi has his own game and appearance that is different enough from Dr. Mario. Additionally, he can use L-shaped pills that are specifically used by him. Also, he's a recurring character unlike the other 'Doctors'.

Support (Split as Dr. Luigi (character))
- Pizza Master (talk) Per.
- Rykitu (talk) Per proposal
Support (Split as Dr. Luigi and rename the existing Dr. Luigi article to Dr. Luigi (game))
- Pizza Master (talk) Secondary.
- Salmancer (talk) I disagree on appearance being the defining factor, seeing as every Doctor character can be argued to have a unique appearance from their normal selves. (Yes, handbags and armbands totally count, because "x with hat" is a unique Mario character more times than not.) My breaking point is that tossing Dr. Luigi in with the Dr. Mario World originals when he predates them and has multiple roles outside of that, including being the main character of an whole video game. I guess if Donkey Kong can supplant the game he's of that name despite the game's continued historical relevance then I guess the recurring character can get the slot.
- EvieMaybe (talk) primary choice. if salmancer's comment gets made into an option, that'll be my secondary.
- Camwoodstock (talk) Per proposal and Salmancer's reasoning for what should get priority.
Support (Split as Dr. Luigi (character), move the existing Dr. Luigi to Dr. Luigi (game) and make a disambiguation page for both topics simply titled Dr. Luigi)
- Pizza Master (talk) Tertiary.
- EvieMaybe (talk) secondary.
Oppose

Shouldn't there be an option for "Dr. Luigi" as a disambiguation page for both topics? Like, yes Dr. Luigi the character has appeared in things beyond Dr. Luigi the game, but giving one subject more primary than the other when it's two corners of Mario is weird. There are people who would recognize Donkey Kong but not Donkey Kong, but I feel like for Dr. Luigi both things with the name are equivalent. Salmancer (talk) 21:01, January 15, 2025 (EST)
@Rykitu @Salmancer @EvieMaybe @Camwoodstock I added a third option.--

- Replying to note that we saw it, and our keeping our vote as-is, since we personally don't see the need for a Dr. Luigi disambiguation when there would only be 2 valid topics. Still, would feel rude not to acknowledge it, so here we be. ;P
