Talk:Peach's frying pan

Eh? The Super Mario RPG item is here. The other Frying Pans are here. Is this even an official name? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 04:48, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

I don't think so. It doesn't sound official. — Stooben Rooben Conjecture alert!

I think this article should be moved to Frying Pan (Peach) because Frying Pan is the name that Super Mario RPG gives it so it is official. A Link to the Present 18:51, 18 January 2011 (EST)

This is explicitly called "Frying Pan" in SMRPG. This should either take priority for the "Frying Pan" name or have "weapon" as an identifier. Either way, the other one should be moved to "Frying Pan (Paper Mario)." Alternatively, they could just be merged outright, though I feel that's a bit less likely, since unlike, say, Hammer, this is only consistently used as a weapon in this case. Admittedly, there are also those Hammer Bros. in Super Mario Odysssey that use infinite pans as weapons, so maybe a full merge with a mention of that as well is a more valid option. Thoughts?

Yeah, that makes more sense. PinkYoshiFan 17:01, May 4, 2020 (EDT)

This should definitely be renamed to its official title, and I personally feel like it would make sense to keep this and the Frying Pan from Paper Mario separate, since they are used for very different purposes. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 17:29, May 4, 2020 (EDT)

Agreed. ^(T|C) 18:27, May 4, 2020 (EDT)

Definitely agreed, I'm surprised this has been conjectural so long. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:25, May 11, 2020 (EDT)

Yeah, I also agree.Duckfan77 (talk) 12:28, May 11, 2020 (EDT)

Should we make a TPP, or would that not be needed since everyone agrees? PinkYoshiFan 15:01, May 12, 2020 (EDT)

This won't need a proposal. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:21, May 12, 2020 (EDT)

I feel like merging every frying pan into one article would get messy, but it could also work. The object doesn't do much in the games, the only time where it really needs to go into detail is for Paper Mario (and maybe SMRPG for stats and such). Whatever the case is, I'm for it. 15:28, May 12, 2020 (EDT)

This conversation has not been brought up in a long time, so I am revisiting it. Is the general consensus still that this should be moved to 'Frying Pan (weapon)'? I would support this move because it would be changing a conjectural name to an official one. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 07:38, April 10, 2021 (EDT)

See the above discussion. Although it was stated this change wouldn't need a proposal, I don't think a consensus was actually reached, so I am making one anyway. The official name for this item is 'Frying Pan' in Super Mario RPG (the Super Smash Bros. series seems to generically refer to it as just a frying pan in tips). Therefore, this page is using an unnecessary conjectural name for a subject that has an official one. However, there is another page using the name of 'Frying Pan', so we should decide which page should get an identifier.

Proposer: Hewer (talk)
Deadline: May 28, 2021, 23:59 GMT

Move this page to 'Frying Pan (weapon)'

1. Hewer (talk) Per proposal and above discussion.

Move this page to 'Frying Pan' and move the page currently called Frying Pan to 'Frying Pan (Paper Mario)'

1. Hewer (talk) Second choice.

Comments

Do they really need to be split at all? A frying pan is a frying pan, I don't see why the ones used by Peach need a separate article. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 18:00, May 14, 2021 (EDT)

I think it's because the other Frying Pan is a very specific item with specific information about it, and covering it on the same page as the one Peach hits others with would probably get messy. It's kind of like how we split articles like Luigi's Mansion and Bowser's Castle because some are courts from sports games or Mario Kart tracks and others are the last area in mainline Mario games, even though they're the same basic concept.
