Talk:Geru

Gaeru?
Where did this name come from? There doesn't seem to by any previous mention of it. 19:26, 12 September 2011 (EDT)
 * It was split from the Lizalfos page. But the split was never discussed. The user who created this was too hasty. -- 19:45, 12 September 2011 (EDT)
 * I know you have to petition to move a page, but I figured this was simply creating a page, so would be okay. Do you disagree with my decision? I simply cannot find ANY evidence of these enemies being referred to as Lizalfos outside of fanon. Surely there's nothing wrong with making a page for something that doesn't have one yet, right? As for the name, thats simply a pronounciation of the Japanese name (which is the only name known... but all Zelda II enemies went by direct translations of their Japanese name anyway). Forgive me for being hasty, I just didn't see any reason NOT to do it, and god knows how long it would of taken for anything to get done simply via the talk page (since people rarely actually visit them). As for the name, there are a number of sources that give ゲール as the Japanese name, the Japanese Wiki for Zelda II is one of them, along with the Futashiba guide (which has accurate names, although the art for some of them is unofficial) and a few Japanese Zelda fansites. I can give links if required. As for Gaeru rather than Geeru or alternate spellings, I just thought that was a happy medium on how to pronouce the name. I promise I did not create this page lightly, but I apologise if I broke the rules somehow. Fizzle 14:11, 13 September 2011 (EDT)
 * You broke one very important, and it's not looking for consensus. A bureaucrat already reverted your removal of the AOL section of the Lizalfos page for this. Surely there's nothing wrong with making a page for something that doesn't have one yet, right? It depends, you need to be sure we don't cover the subject in an existing page already. So yes, we do disagree with your decision. Don't do it again. -- 14:31, 13 September 2011 (EDT)
 * I couldn't find anything in the Help Guide covering this particular issue so I was not sure of the technicalities, but again, I apologise for jumping the gun. Please may I request that if this page IS merged back to Lizalfos in the event of no consensus, please at least retain as much of the information and rewriting I did yesterday as possible, as it took me some time and I do think its better than it was (I had to research those blasted experience points too). I guess I just assumed by the existence of Mago and Girobokku pages (as Girobokku at least does not have an English name and is commonly mistaken for a Moa or Patra) that it was general wiki policy. Again, I am sorry, I didn't mean any harm. Fizzle 14:43, 13 September 2011 (EDT)
