Talk:Bull

Merger of Cow and Bull pages?

So someone proposed that the cow and bull pages be merged? EDIT: I'm in support of this. AgentParadox (talk) 17:00, March 26, 2019 (EDT)

I would go based on whether bull villagers describe themselves as being a "bull" in conversations. I don't know which male personalities mention their species in conversations; peppy villagers do. That's a little difficult to test.—Ok (talk) 22:31, March 26, 2019 (EDT)

I'd rather keep them separate unless we can find evidence. Drago (talk) 13:00, March 27, 2019 (EDT)

So I just remembered: on occasion, a cranky villager will ping you and ask whether you prefer spaghetti or mac and cheese. If the former is chosen, Chief for example, will say "Yeah! Gimme some of those hot noodles right now, and I'd be a happy wolf!" I think that since two thirds of the bulls are cranky, this might be worth testing. AgentParadox (talk) 13:36, May 9, 2019 (EDT)

For what it's worth, cows and bulls use slightly different icons on their Animal Crossing e-cards (Chuck) vs (Patty). However, the amiibo cards use the same icon for both (Patty) vs (T-Bone). I take this to mean that they are both the same species now (if they weren't before). The real question is what the merged page would be called. (talk) 23:28, November 10, 2019 (EST)

• Oppose purely because Bull and Cow exist separately in New Leaf's data. The file STR_Race.umstb lists them as two distinct races/species. If we go by the same file, we should also probably rename Rhino to Rhinoceros and Cub to Bear Cub as these races are named as such. --Dorsal Axe (talk) 11:30, November 11, 2019 (EST)

Well, hard to argue with that lol... in that case I would also support moving the Rhino and Cub pages and leaving a redirect. Thanks for chiming in, Dorsal Axe. (talk) 16:26, November 11, 2019 (EST)

Since there has been no activity on this for more than two months, and because it doesn't look like the Oppose argument can be argued with further, I think the Merge issue has been resolved. Deleting request templates. >Decomposer 21:07, January 25, 2020 (EST)
