Talk:Vulture

Move Suggestion
I would not recommend moving this. I think that simply explaining the name issue would be best, keeping it here, since this is where people would look for it. --Xizor 08:58, 26 July 2012 (EDT)
 * I agree. Whatever the case, "vulture" is still a canon title. If there's an English title we can use, we should use it. 09:08, 26 July 2012 (EDT)
 * Agreed for reasons already stated! --Dany36 11:44, 26 July 2012 (EDT)

It's not canon any more than saying that a Keese should be called "Bat" just because it's described as a bat, or that Stalfos should be called Skeleton because they're called skeletons sometimes. Just because something is given a descriptive name does not always make it a canon name. Is it ever capitalized anywhere? That's usually the key to whether something is just a name or a description. Also: redirects exist, so that's hardly an issue. I don't get this obsession with using "English" titles when 99% of the enemies on the wiki have nonsense names like Keese, Rope, etc. Usually if a name is descriptive it's not canon at all.

Finally, this enemy's appearance in FSA is a lot less "vulture" like and has elements of Kargorok, AND Skyward Sword has other vulture enemies called Hrok. Saying this enemy is called "Vulture" when that's not it's official name seems unusual. There is no English name, just a Japanese one, and an English description, and for all other enemies we go NAME first, whether it's English or Japanese. 13:24, 26 July 2012 (EDT)


 * They're not "nonsense names", they're proper nouns. Proper nouns that are used in the game and so most readers will know of them. In any case, "vulture" comes from a title in the credits. All the letters are uppercase, so we can't determine whether it was a "decriptive name" or a "canon title" as you say. 13:44, 26 July 2012 (EDT)


 * Well, given it's the same in the Japanese version where it is otherwise called Tendoru, we CAN assume this, that's my point. And, um... "Keese" is not a proper noun, no more than Tendoru is, not sure what you mean there. 14:08, 26 July 2012 (EDT)
