Could go either way, honestly. Unlike Hammer and Hammer Flip, this move is shared across three different characters as "Boomerang," and Gale Boomerang has enough written about it that it can stand on its own. <s>I'm leaning towards '''support'''</s>.

::'''Support'''. The Gale Boomerang does have a functional difference from the other characters' Boomerangs, so it should have its own separate article. [[User:CpnFlacon|CpnFlacon]] ([[User talk:CpnFlacon|talk]]) 10:04, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

After thinking it over, I '''oppose''' on grounds that I think this split will be a real mess. Let me lay it out: We have a move that has been used by a character (Link) for 2 games, plus a clone (YL) in one of those 2 games. Then, come Brawl, Link's 'rang gets replaced with the gale, and we get a ''new'' clone with the original move, which also caries over into 4. So essentially, we are dealing with 4 different moves here: Link's Boomerang (SSB, SSBM), Young Link's Boomerang (SSBM), Toon Link's Boomerang (SSBB, SSB4), and Link's Gale Boomerang (SSBB, SSB4). Where do we make the split and what goes where? I think we are honestly better off leaving it as is. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">'''King'''</span></span>]] 23:46, 28 April 2016 (EDT)

::The split would be obvious: Gale Boomerang from the rest of the Boomerangs. Idk I think they can both stand on their own, there's enough written about both.  Any "messiness" would be because it's Link's special in two games, but that is easily remedied by "Boomerang is a special move used by Link in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Young Link, and Toonk Link." [[User:MuteSpittah|MuteSpittah]] ([[User talk:MuteSpittah|talk]]) 06:35, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

:::Per MuteSpittah. I could probably put together a draft for this today, if you'd like to see how it plays out.

::::Wait wait wait. So we are going to split this 1:3? That makes no sense. Also I argue that ''"Boomerang is a special move used by Link in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros.

:::::Oh and while I'm at it, the regular Boomerang is a custom for Link in 4, making the above statement inaccurate. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">'''King'''</span></span>]] 20:21, 29 April 2016 (EDT)
It's 4:2 in favor of splitting. But I '''oppose''' per Mars and The D. [[User:Penro|'''Penro''']][[File:PenroDarkPitHead.png|19px]] [[File:PenroZSSHead.png|19px]] 20:23, 29 April 2016 (EDT)
:Nono 1:3 in terms of moves per page (Boomerang would have 3 different moves while Gale Boomerang has only 1). <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">'''King'''</span></span>]] 20:29, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

:Lol, chill out Serpent. And how does that not make sense? What's this ratio you're throwing out here? We've got 3 versions of Boomerang, all incredibly similar, and then Gale Boomerang. The numbers matter not. And I guess we have different interpretations of messy. However, you bring up a good point with the Boomerang being a custom move. Idk, I'm just not really into this split as much as the others anyways. I get a strong sense that this was tagged for the hell of it/OCD/external pressure/just cause. I'm retracting my vote. Also, isn't kinda weird how the Gale Boomerang has more written about it than the standard Boomerang? [[User:MuteSpittah|MuteSpittah]] ([[User talk:MuteSpittah|talk]]) 05:00, 30 April 2016 (EDT)
 
How I see it, despite both the regular Boomerang and the Gale Boomerang both functioning the same, they have different properties. But then there are weirdness like having too many moves that would make this page messy or something. I honestly don't want to get this article too confusing, because it looks okay as is. '''Oppose'''.

:Agreed, I saw no problem in the first place. I don't see much of a point in a split with the messiness that would ensue. Three moves on one page isn't a problem, it's just that in this case it's best to leave as is for the sake of organization and not being confusing. '''Oppose''' as well.

==Split Version 2==
I'm going with '''Slight Oppose'''. While the bow pages all have their own page, there are like 5 different bows. On the other hand, there's only 2 boomerangs, Gale and normal. There's no real need to separate this page imo.

:'''Oppose''' and only because its only real change is it has a windbox, and thus isn't really big enough when we can just redirect here [[User:Xtra3678|Xtra3678]] ([[User talk:Xtra3678|talk]]) 12:29, 6 March 2019 (EST)
:'''Nah''' Too little content to justify two different articles. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 12:44, 3 March 2019 (EST)
::The bows are separated, despite essentially being the same move in essence. The Boomerang follows the same deal, though with the added effect of "in ''Brawl'', it has a windbox that pulls opponents and items in". While I am '''neutral''' on a split, I do think that it should be both or none (as in, split the boomerang or merge the bow).
