:: (I do separately want to stress the first bullet point: I think there is a difference between people referring to "the Meep" because this particular member of Meepkind happens to be the only one to hand, and instances of the character self-identifying as ''the'' Meep properly speaking. I don't think the "Meep vs. Beep" tally entirely reflects this subtlety.) --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:53, 8 March 2024 (UTC) | :: (I do separately want to stress the first bullet point: I think there is a difference between people referring to "the Meep" because this particular member of Meepkind happens to be the only one to hand, and instances of the character self-identifying as ''the'' Meep properly speaking.

::: I do agree with Scrooge here. Even though "Beep" is relatively less frequent as the character's name, it still is given as such, and also ''commonly understood as such''. "The Meep" is too ambiguous for this character and I think it just makes things more confusing on the wiki. (Also, if the initial comic was his only appearance, I think despite being referred to as "the Meep" the page would be at "Meep (The Star Beast)". | |||
::: So, I don't think there's a good enough reason to change the page title. That said, I would agree that when covering this character, we should stick to how the relevant sources refer to him, e.g. don't call him "Beep" when describing ''The Star Beast'' comic or TV episode.
