thread_title: Requested move

message: This page should be moved to Kirby, and Kirby moved to Kirby (Nintendo) because, let's face it, the world does not revolve around Nintendo. There are many other uses for the word, some more common than a video game "character". This is why we have disambiguation pages. -R. fiend 18:16, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

message: :::Especially considering that since it was released in early November in Japan, Kirby: Squeak Squad has sold more than 800,000 copies (compared to 900,000 and 700,000 for Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror respectively). In the comparison with those two games, those two games sold that many copies in their lives, while Squeak Squad has bested one and is close to besting the other in less than three months and will probably break 1 million copies in Japan alone. In respect to the United States, Kirby: Squeak Squad sold 215,000+ copies, compared to LTD figures for Amazing Mirror and NiD of 640,422 and 974,124 respectively.
:::This isn't my strongest point, I'm just showing that the series is still a major power house in the video game industry, and is the most notable figure that uses the Kirby name by itself. Kirby has a very popular video game series which has sold close to 30 million copies and an ongoing anime, versus the Kirby Company - which isn't even very known anymore outside of having annoying salesmen. However, Kirby is a well-known franchise still and is considered a quality franchise (according to Game Rankings, which gave Kirby: Canvas Curse nearly an 88%/100%).
:::The way this situation seems to be set up is that Kirby can never overcome Kirby Company because Kirby Company is more real. However, as a franchise, Kirby is huge. How does the Kirby Company overcome them anymore? Not only that, but combining the fact that Kirby is the only entity that is exclusively Kirby - not John Kirby or Kirby Company - so why should Kirby be a disambig page? Who would search for Kirby, looking for Kirby Company, Kirby Puckett, or John Kirby? - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
