Talk:Nook's Cranny

Separate article for New Horizons?
Should we consider giving the New Horizons version an article of its own? There's quite a few differences between Nook's Cranny in New Horizons and 'older' Nook's Cranny, and easily enough content to warrant its own article. Also, the upgraded NC in New Horizons is completely different in appearance, both outside and inside. Drago  (talk)      13:48, September 25, 2020 (EDT)
 * I think the page is fine right now, but I agree that if all the necessary content was included there that each game's iteration of Nook's Cranny might need its own page. I think it'd be nice to keep a short description on this page and link to the primary page using Main though. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  12:34, September 29, 2020 (EDT)
 * Agreed that the page is reaching is limits, and taking it to its full potential for each game would definitely require separate pages. I like Sunmarsh's idea: Keep this central Nook's Cranny article that gives a brief overview per-game, and splits into separate per-game articles linked to via Main. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 23:46, October 1, 2020 (EDT)
 * per above. I think a split like Nook's Cranny (Tom Nook) and Nook's Cranny (Nooklings) would be sufficient enough though, rather than by each game. --Shark HHD Icon.png Dorsal Axe  (talk) 04:05, November 29, 2020 (EST)
 * , although would think of using Nook's Cranny to refer to the current style while Nook's Cranny (Tom Nook) to refer to the shop prior to NH. Lucky Clover NL Icon.png talk:Decomposer 07:42, January 13, 2021 (EST)
 * splitting off only the section into its own page. As for the names, I think they could either be Nook's Cranny (Tom Nook) and Nook's Cranny (Nooklings), or Nook's Cranny and Nook's Cranny (New Horizons). ~  AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 09:46, January 13, 2021 (EST)
 * Commenting on article name suggestion. It is likely that users will be coming to the wiki page for current information on Nook's Cranny, hence I suggested Nook's Cranny to refer to the current NH shop run by the Nooklings, with another article referring to the pre-NL shop run by Tom Nook. Nevertheless, after 4 months and 4 Support votes, it seems that we ought to split this article soon. Lucky Clover NL Icon.png talk:Decomposer 23:47, January 13, 2021 (EST)
 * If all the necessary content was included, separate articles for the Nook's Cranny run by Tom Nook and the Nook's Cranny run by Timmy and Tommy would make a lot of sense. I am leaning toward Sunmarsh's suggestion: Keep this article but make it more of a brief overview of both iterations, with links to their respective articles provided via Main.

Naming
So we've clearly agreed to create a separate page for New Horizons Nook's Cranny, but what should it be called, and which page should be the 'main' Nook's Cranny article? These are my four preferred options: I'm leaning towards option 2 as I think most readers will come here for New Horizons info, but what are your thoughts? Post below! Drago  (talk)      13:44, February 9, 2021 (EST)
 * Option 1 - Keep this central Nook's Cranny article for a brief per-game overview, and create separate Nook's Cranny (Tom Nook) and Nook's Cranny (Nooklings) articles that are linked to via Main.
 * Option 2 - The main Nook's Cranny article has info about the current New Horizons shop, with a Nook's Cranny (Tom Nook) article for older games.
 * Option 3 - The main Nook's Cranny article has info about the older shop run by Tom Nook, with a Nook's Cranny (New Horizons) article for the current NH shop.
 * Option 4 - Same as Option 3 but the New Horizons article would be called Nook's Cranny (Nooklings).
 * I think Option 1 or 3 are good; I'm not sure which of the two I'm leaning toward yet. I'm not a fan of Option 2 since it acts as if the Tom Nook store is not the original, and I don't think the NH store would beat the Tom Nook one as the primary topic for the term "Nook's Cranny", since the original appeared in more games and serves as the inspiration for the new one; plus, there will come a time when a new game comes out, and if the NH Nook's Cranny isn't in that game, then it wouldn't make sense to have the main article focus on that. If we want to give both stores equal weight, then Option 1 would be best, and if we want to give Tom Nook's store more weight since it's the original, then Option 3 would be best. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 14:21, February 9, 2021 (EST)
 * Leaning towards 2. Note that we moved  to   before (see Talk:Carmen) because people who talk about Carmen would usually refer to the rabbit villager. Similarly, talking about "Nook's Cranny" these days would usually refer to the store owned by the Nooklings and not the one owned by Tom Nook in a game released more than a decade ago.

 * Addendum: Note that this will lead to a weird situation where the upgrade to  would be called , that is, without a   modifier, unless on the off chance that such will be the same name for the upgrade for the current Nook's Cranny, such that that page will be moved to  .
