Currently, this article describes 2 quite different things: the enemy Bulbmin, and the Pikmin type Bulbmin. These things have the same name and are the same species, but they behave very differently, and force this article to be both an enemy article and a Pikmin type article. Considering this, should they continue to be described on the same page, or should this article be split? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:18, January 7, 2023 (EST)

:I think it's fine the way it is. But if this page were to be split, how would it be satisfactorily named? The main page could become a disambiguation page, and link to <nowiki>[[Bulbmin (enemy)]]/(adult)]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Bulbmin (Pikmin)]]/(juvenile)]]</nowiki>, but that's not too great. It's certainly better than the unlikely alternative, which is making <nowiki>[[Bulbmin (disambiguation)]]</nowiki> and having either the adult or the juvenile be the focus of the <nowiki>[[Bulbmin]]</nowiki> while the other gets the short end of the stick title-wise. {{User:Cheepy/sig}}

::Yeah, it would have to "Bulbmin (enemy)" and "Bulbmin (Pikmin)". &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:04, January 9, 2023 (EST)
:::"Bulbmin (Pikmin)" is kind of weird. The adults are still Pikmin, after all, even if they don't act like it when it comes to gameplay. [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 17:21, January 13, 2023 (EST)
::::I also think it's fine the way it is. In the Piklopedia in Pikmin 2, they aren't treated separately. --[[User:Kirby Bulborb|Kirby Bulborb]] ([[User talk:Kirby Bulborb|talk]]) 03:56, July 14, 2023 (EDT)
:::::Pikmin 2's Piklopedia doesn't normally cover Pikmin though, so it's natural that it would only cover the enemy Bulbmin. [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 07:42, February 27, 2024 (EST)
:::If we split the page, I think it would be best to name the enemy one "Adult Bulbmin" and the Pikmin type "Bulbmin". There should also be an header on top of both pages going like "''This article is about the enemy/Pikmin type. For the Pikmin type/enemy, see Bulbmin/Adult Bulbmin''". &mdash; [[User:GGabryy|'''GGabryy''']]<sub>[[User talk:GGabryy|''(talk)'']]</sub> 20:44, March 9, 2024 (CET)
