#{{User|Mario}} [[Talk:Moving Tree#Merge Moving Tree into Luigi's Mansion (course)|Per my reasons it got split in the first place]]. There is little reason to create an article on a stage hazard that is exclusive to one stage, Music Park, when being included in the course description is sufficient. Saying it appeared in two games is a fantastically weak argument since it is the same course, but with enhanced graphics. The gratuitous amounts of links provided is supposed to suggest that the lack of a Bouncing Notes article is a coverage gap. The proposal then suggests that since minor enemies get articles, minor stage hazards in one-off courses get articles. This comparison does not compel me in any form simply because there is a difference: the enemies are notable enough to have their own article. We'd have a coverage gap if we covered common enemies but left out the more elusive ones. Simple course hazards, unlike enemies, do not deserve their own articles unless they are a common element, since there are other course hazards that do not get their own articles. If we let this proposal pass, we'd open the doors to create articles for Moving Tree, the rolling thing from Thwomp Ruins, the pinballs in [[Waluigi Pinball (course)|Waluigi Pinball]] (which appear in TWO games, ''Mario Kart DS'' excluding the remade 3DS version, and ''Mario Sports Mix''!), the mechanical Piranha Plants in [[Waluigi Stadium]], the snowballs from [[DK Pass]], the falling pillars in [[Dry Dry Desert]], the shooting spaceship from [[Spacedust Alley]], the [[Yellow Devil]] from [[Wily Castle]] (which honestly needs a merge anyway since [[Talk:King Bulblin and Lord Bullbo|King Bulblin and Lord Bullbo are so]]), the drawbridge bell from [[Boulder Canyon]], and so on. Perhaps a lot are just generic objects (although I don't see how Bouncing Note is somehow more notable than those), but this proposal, I feel, might open the doors to these mostly-redundant articles.

:::Without getting involved with either side, I'll just say that claiming a name is fake with absolutely nothing to back you up discredits the user who submitted the name in the first place and is an easy argument to pick since anything is possible if you bring hypothetical scenarios into this. Since there isn't a source, it's fine to be skeptical, put a {{tem|refneeded}} there or something, but using that as one of your main points is rather weak imo. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

==Music Park flags==
I seem to remember a bit about the flags not being changed in the PAL version "for online play purposes" being added and removed multiple times in the past. Since it just came up again, I think it's time to settle this once and for all: What proof is there of this? Why would a mere flag texture need to be kept the same for online play if textures do not actually affect online play? {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 15:18, 12 November 2016 (EST)
:My summary has some strong arguments mainly that fact that [[Nintendo]] and [[Retro Studios]] want to go by the name of the main version because most of their audience is American despite not having the game itself, I know if it said Melody Motorway they'd be like "wutt?". {{User:The RPG Gamer/sig}} 20:18, 14 November 2016 (EST)
::There's no need for the flags to be consistent between versions though. The courses don't have to look exactly the same for everyone. You know how some courses will show your [[Mii]]s on them, like [[Coconut Mall]]? Well, obviously other online players aren't going to be seeing YOUR Miis, they'll be seeing their own Miis. The game is able to do this because the look of the Miis doesn't affect gameplay. The same goes for the flag textures. They could have changed them to say "Melody Motorway" in the PAL versions alone (or just, y'know, not changed the course's name if they weren't gonna change the flags). {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 20:45, 14 November 2016 (EST)
:::"For online play purposes" is complete bullshit. It is totally possible to program the game to display the correct region online. My suspicion is that it's an oversight or the developers don't feel like creating different textures for different regions as how they don't create different textures for different languages. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 21:48, 14 November 2016 (EST)
==Bouncing Notes==
So, considering the other pages for one-off [[Pit Plant|Mario]] [[Hammer Knight|Kart]] [[Super Thwomp|hazards]], shouldn't Bouncing Notes be split? [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 17:06, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
:Do Bouncing Notes have a source for their name? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:07, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
::According to the comments on the proposal above, the name comes from the Prima guide. [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 17:09, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
:::Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Official Guide, page 145. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:11, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
:It may not be particularly fair to use Hammer Knight as an example, considering it was created less than ten minutes ago, but I'm all for giving an article for the Bouncing Notes. They're officially named, they interact uniquely with the player, they have unique appearances, and any coverage of it in Music Park would require either glossing over its details or  halting all coverage of the rest of the race to talk exclusively about the notes, and neither option seems satisfactory to me. I don't see why the enemies that appear in the Mario Kart series are somehow less notable than the enemies that appear in the rest of the franchise. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:11, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
:::Perhaps make another proposal to see what people think, and to over right the original one. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:11, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
::::I say make another proposal too, because of a tied proposal above. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 17:14, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
I'm still not sure why we don't have an article on Bouncing Notes. Not to be disrespectful but the arguments presented a long time ago by Bazooka Mario are weak.-- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}}
== Split Bouncing Note from Music Park, Second Attempt ==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|passed|15-0|split}}
As I mentioned during the last proposal, there are pages for numerous one-off enemies, including [[Kurokyura|an enemy that only appears once in one stage in one game]]. There's no good reason for enemies from the Mario Kart series to be treated as less notable than main-series enemies, and considering that we've started making pages for other one-off Mario Kart hazards, there's really no reason this shouldn't be split.

===Support===
#{{User|Niiue}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Time Turner}} Per the previous proposal's support and the comments made above.
#{{User|Super Radio}} Per all.
#{{User|Alex95}} - Per proposal.
#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} Per all.
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Per all, and that large list at the front of the first proposal, however out of date some of its parts may be.
#{{User|LudwigVon}} Per all.
#{{User|MarioComix}} At least in ''MK8'' we see a small variant for the first time. Not to mention, they're part of the fantastical setting of the ''Mario'' universe - they're a strange lifeform unlike anything living in the real world, which certainly differentiates it from the other mundane stage hazards listed above. (There's a reason that, despite appearing in practically every single ''Mario'' game to date, the [[Human]] page is so puny.)
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
#{{User|The yoshi co.}} I also undo it. so per.
#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} Must I explain further? Per all.
#{{User|Marioguy}} Per all.
#{{User|LuigiMaster123}} Not sure why this even needs a proposal, but anyways, per all.
#{{User|Camwood777}} FOR CONSISTENCY!!
#{{User|BBQ Turtle}} They've appeared in three games so far, appear on a Miiverse stamp, and I thought they had a page anyway... Definitely split.
===Oppose===
===Comments===
@Doc: For what it's worth, all but one of the examples on the list still have individual articles; [[Biting Bullet Bill]] is the only one to have been merged or deleted. Quite a few have had their names change, but barring a single example, the list still holds up. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:48, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
:I was actually referring to how some of the ones that were conjecturally-named at the time now have official names found for them. And I was speaking ''approvingly'' of the list. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 16:57, 2 September 2017 (CT)
Is there any reason you haven't mentioned the long-standing ''Mario Kart'' vehicles like the [[Bomb-Car]] and the [[Mushroom Car]]? Not that we exactly need more fuel for our fire, but I'm simply curious. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 00:02, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
:I forgot about those, actually. [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 00:16, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
Wanna also get started on the [[Talk:Moving_Tree#Merge_Moving_Tree_into_Luigi.27s_Mansion_.28course.29|Moving Tree]]s (which the guide calls "Walking Trees" but w/e)? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 15:37, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
