Parodius: The Octopus Saves the Earth → Parodius: Tako wa Chikyuu o Sukuu – Current page title is a fan translation 80.103.136.146 (talk) 17:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.  ASUKITE 17:47, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support alternate move to Parodius (video game) or Parodius (1988 video game). Its subtitle is not used in its common name. I agree the current title is not a common name and may not even be correct, HG101 calls it "Octopus Saves the Planet". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Support @Zxcvbnm's alternative proposals. Killuminator (talk) 09:59, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Unlike the other related move, we have just enough participation to make me comfortable w/ a close, however additional input as to which of zxcvbnm's suggestions might be helpful ASUKITE 17:47, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support move to Parodius (1988 video game) which fits nicely with the other related move at Special:Diff/1220475071, using the year as a dab makes sense here. ASUKITE 17:49, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
