I already commented about this [[Talk: Piranhacus Giganticus|here]] a long while ago, and now I'm proposing the merging of these articles for three reasons. First, while Piranhacus Gigantici and Big Piranha Plants are found in pipes and out of them, respectively, the regular Piranha Plants have been seen in both forms, and those two forms are same species. Second, both giant Piranhas have the same Japanese name, でかパックンフラワー (Deka Pakkunfurawā), meaning "Huge Piranha Flower", so the two forms are considered the same species in Japan. Third, the name Piranhacus Giganticus hasn't been used since ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', I believe, and since Big Piranha Plant has been recently used more often and officially, it outrules Piranhacus Giganticus by this wiki's [[MarioWiki:Naming|naming policies]]. | I already commented about this [[Talk: Piranhacus Giganticus|here]] a long while ago, and now I'm proposing the merging of these articles for three reasons.

::Wait, why are they called Piranhacus Giganticus AND [[Big Fire Piranha Plant]]? Weird, isn't it? {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:23, 11 June 2014 (EDT) | ::Wait, why are they called Piranhacus Giganticus AND [[Big Fire Piranha Plant]]? Weird, isn't it? {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:23, 11 June 2014 (EDT) | ||
:::Well anyway, if they're called Piranhacus Gigantici in SM64, that'd actually help my argument. That means we have the huge Piranhas out of pipes going by names "Piranhacus Giganticus" and "Big Piranha Plant", thus there's no true specification or split between the two. And since the latter has slowly become more common name in official material, I think we should have all huge Piranha -related info in one article instead of making unnecessary splits because of objects with same common original name having minor differences between them.

::::Even though I opposed in this proposal, I do have the feeling that SmokedChili actually brought up a good point. Maybe Piranhacus Gigantici were misnomers in games prior to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', but this could become another dispute like 3D World Toad. <font face="Stencil">{{color-link | ::::Even though I opposed in this proposal, I do have the feeling that SmokedChili actually brought up a good point.
