Real Name[edit]

If his real name is KP Pete, then should the article be moved there? I suppose he is better known as "King K", but his real name seems better fit for an article title. --YellowYoshi398 19:14, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

Full names are more canonical than nicknames, so yeah.Knife (talk) 16:09, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Name[edit]

So, apparently this page is titled "KP Pete" instead of "King K", because the former is his "real" name. I looked up a text dump of the game, and the name "KP Pete" only appears once, in the line "The Glitz Pit no longer has any official connection to KP Pete, a.k.a. King K." The name "King K", on the other hand, appears 39 times. Blinker (talk) 17:15, January 18, 2023 (EST)

If the above section is anything to go by, it was moved to this name for an outdated reason ("Full names are more canonical than nicknames" - we haven't based our priorities and hierarchies off of any so-called "canon" for more than a decade at this point). I'd say go right ahead with a move. S o m e t h i n g o n e ! A Big Bandit from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. 21:32, January 24, 2023 (EST)
Just to confirm, by "go right ahead", does that mean no further discussion is needed before moving? Blinker (talk)
