First, I do not even understand why they are separated. It would appear that the main reason is because of the use of the Green Star is different in the two Super Mario Galaxy compared to Super Mario 3D World. The use of an object may vary from game to game (see Super Mushroom, Ice Flower, Super Leaf, Golden Mushroom, Mega Mushroom and Mini Mushroom, which all have different effects of their used from games they appear in), but the object remains the same, the Green Star also share the same appearance in the three games they appear in. This facts, in my opinion, are good reasons for a merge.

Merge

1. LudwigVon (talk)
2. Wildgoosespeeder (talk) It's simpler.
3. 3D Player 2010 (talk) per all, and also because the split of Super Mario 3D World from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 is extremely arbitrary when the other 2 are merged with each other since Green Stars are still very different between the 2 Galaxy games from each other.

Don't merge

1. Roy Koopa (talk) Because they have different functions. Sure, they look the same, but that really doesn't warrant a merge to me.
2. Tails777 (talk) Per the two previous proposals that failed to merge the two.

Comments

Just a heads up, but there are two failed proposals on this matter. Take the reasons they are split into consideration. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:10, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

Yes, I know they are two failed proposals on this matter, but I think the reasons for the split are not good enough. We have plenty of items that are merge together even if they don't have the same effect. So, why should this be the exception?--^(TALK) 19:18, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

@Roy Koopa: The Super Mushrooms in Mario RPGs function differently than their platformer incarnations, yet they aren't split. Same deal with 1-Up Mushrooms. And the Fire Flowers. Would you advocate to split those as well? Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:17, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

I would split them if it were my choice, yes. I think that if it functions differently albeit looks the same, they should be separate articles. J-Luigi (talk) 16:33, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

So in your opinion, Ice Flower should be split like how we split Ice Mario and Ice Mario (Super Mario Galaxy)?--^(TALK) 19:27, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

This brings up a case: what do you think about Power Stars, Giant Star, Star (Mario Party series), and Super Stars? What line should be drawn between "too different" and "not different enough"? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:43, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

Let's just re-edit the whole wiki while we're at it. 18:58, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

Demolition the entire building and rebuilding it from scratch would be a gigantic waste of time. Ray Trace^(T|C) 19:03, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

Power Star and Star (Mario Party series) can be merge together since they share a similar effect (collectible item). The article of the Star (Mario Party series) even implied they are also called Power Star. Giant Star seem to be a bigger variant (The star appear to be bigger than Mario). Super Star and Power Stars are "too different" to be merge in my opinion. It can also be inconsistent to merge all this. But, Green Star are so much similar with the same name, the same effect as collectible and the same appearance. Why we needs more to merge them together?--^(TALK) 19:18, 2 May 2016 (EDT)
