DS version?
Do you think there should be a seperate article about the DS version of ThemePark? They made a seperate article about the Sonic 1 port to the GBA Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis. User:RaviC 16:18, 11 March 2007


 * Exactly. There should be another article as there are many differences in the upcoming DS release, and even a new logo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.10.193.138 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 11 March 2007


 * Totally Agreed. Now, who will start the Page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.227.110.134 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 11 March 2007

Don't forget Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS! Get the page started someone with an account! User:172.215.146.219

I have started a basic article on Theme Park DS. Feel free to improve it, as it is not large and as informative as it should be. Well, Enjoy! User:RaviC

Merge proposal
"There's a new logo" is possibly the worst justification for a separate article I've ever seen. Yes, there are differences, but it's nowhere near being an entirely new game. Just because the Sonic fanboys forced through a separate article (which is IMHO dubious, but at least they have the content; long articles should probably be split) is no excuse to do the same for every game; e.g. Spy vs. Spy (computer game) had Spy vs. Spy (video game) merged into it.

There seems to be a mentality amongst some Wikipedians that a separate article proves the importance of something, and that keeping stuff together is the opposite. Result; proliferation of pointless separate articles for very similar things, when the information would actually be stronger kept together. Fourohfour 20:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Agree with merge : If the DS version differed significantly from the previous versions of the game, then a separate article would be justified. I do not see how a separate article could be justified in this instance. --Oscarthecat 20:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Agree with merge: If there were significant differences, the DS version would easily have its own article. Many games with non-notable ports are combined in the same article. -- Scottie_theNerd  03:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Support merge It's effectively the same game, this article (depressingly) is a stub. Instead of making another stubby article, why not improve this article and list any differences with the DS update? ThemePark as a subject is a hell of a lot bigger than this DS release, they're stronger together and would give readers the big picture. QuagmireDog 05:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Done. This was a no-brainer really. Chris Cunningham 11:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Theme Park (video game) → Theme Park – "Theme Park" currently redirects to the article amusement park. There is no alternative article with the title "Theme Park" in capitals. The lower case "theme park" serves to redirect people searching for the amusement park article. McPhail (talk) 20:50, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - not because Theme Park (BMX Bandits album), Theme Park (Alvin Curran album), nor the title song on it, nor Theme Park (Lung Leg song) are specially notable (they are all redirects I just created), but because the video game is not notable enough outside video-gamer-land to outweigh likely capitalization errors by searchers and linkers. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:47, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * "Theme Park", song by the Tubes from Outside Inside (The Tubes album)
 * "Theme Park", song by the Simpsons from The Streets of Springfield


 * Oppose. The current Theme Park redirect is permitted per the last paragraph of WP:NCCAPS to account for possible capitalization errors by searchers, especially when there is no evidence presented that the video game should be the primary topic of the search phrase .

 * Oppose Gregkaye ✍ ♪  14:39, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Theme Park" sounds like a place name, so people searching for the general concept of a "theme park" might look for it at an all-caps title; eliminating the WP:DIFFCAPS issue, amusement park is by far the primary topic of the term, obliterating all others in terms of historical significance alone. bd2412  T 16:58, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Far too generic and not a primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:12, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
