:That was my thought process since I had originally planned to use "subject origin" solely for real-world entities we have pages for, but it was re-adapted later to fit generic derivation vs. specific derivation across similar cases, without the derivative being actually related to what they are based on. As for why we don't do things like list Goombas as derived from Mushrooms - we simply don't have a page for generic mushrooms. Our [[Mushroom]] page is for something highly unrelated to the Goomba. {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 17:13, April 24, 2024 (EDT) | :That was my thought process since I had originally planned to use "subject origin" solely for real-world entities we have pages for, but it was re-adapted later to fit generic derivation vs. specific derivation across similar cases, without the derivative being actually related to what they are based on.

::I initially floated the idea a while before the proposal was made, and my reasoning was more "based on something without being a true variant of it," like all the DKC trilogy enemy counterparts, as well as the "real life animal" purpose.

:::"True variant" is a very vague concept though. What makes, for example, [[Beanie]] a "true variant" of [[Goomba]] in a way [[Konk]] isn't one of [[Thwomp]]? [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 17:34, April 24, 2024 (EDT) | |||
