message: 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)

text: 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)

text: 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)

text: 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)
