| Do people refer it more as "Duel Zone" or "Battlefield"?

| :It doesn't really matter what people refer to it as. The Wiki always uses official names for things like fighters, moves, and of course, stages. The official name is very clearly Duel Zone.

| :::I'm quite familiar with SW:NOT, but as I'm sure you're aware, there are definitely things that we always use official names for. Again, for article titles we ALWAYS use official names for stages, just like we use official names for fighters.

| Bumping this with '''support''' for the move, I understand [[SW:NOT]] is a thing but it just seems really dumb to be willfully inconsistent with every single other stage? It's a matter of scope here, in my opinion; I don't see us suddenly changing Simon's SSBU page to Simon Belmont, despite players sometimes using their full names. If anything, this name change should have happened a long time ago. I think this is very different to "fanon" terminology such as tech since Ultimate outright states the stage's name, among other media. Hell, I've seen players call it Duel Zone before, it's not like the entire community calls it Battlefield. On the flip side, with "tech", that's not just a Smash term but a fighting game term as well, which extends far out of simple fanon. Why aren't we having Duel Zone be the standard name while Battlefield (SSB) serves as the redirect? --[[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]][[User:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Plague'''</span>]][[User talk:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #e68;">''' von Karma'''</span>]][[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]] 03:18, April 10, 2021 (EDT)

| :'''Oppose.''' I've always been of the opinion that the localisers of ''Ultimate'' gave it that name in English <!--and, by extension, every language other than Japanese :P--> due to [[wikipedia:Circular reporting|citogenesis]]. <span style="font-family:Formata Regular">[[User:RickTommy|<span style="color:red">Rick</span>]][[User talk:RickTommy|<span style="color:green">Tommy</span>]]</span> 03:30, April 10, 2021 (EDT)

| ::'''Support''' The citogenesis argument would mean that the travk would call it Battlefield (64) due to its similarity to future games' stages with the same layout and use for multi-man battles, not Duel Zone. Regardless, the unofficial rule really should not apply here, and should honestly only apply for fighting game terms like techs or forward tilts, not tossed around like we shouldn't follow what the games do.

| To be clear, an official source referencing itself can't really be considered circular reporting, but even if if was it would be irrelevant for our purpose because it would still be a name in official use. I was the one putting up this move tag so I '''support''' it, of course. [[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 03:48, April 11, 2021 (EDT)

| '''Support'''. Considering the stage has always been known as Duel Zone, I think this would be the right move. That said, I believe we should continue to use "Battlefield" on competitive-relevant pages such as [[Stage legality]]. No one within the competitive community really calls it Duel Zone.

| (Bumping this) '''Support''' per reasons above. I think Alex made the right call with his point above.

| '''Support''' per reasons above. While citogenesis would be a concern if "Duel Zone" was an unofficial fan nickname, the fact that it's simply a direct English translation of the stage's official Japanese name weakens that argument; as 72.219.72.215 pointed out, most SSB64 songs are given different titles in SSBU in order to be consistent with later titles (e.g. "Planet Zebes Stage" becomes "Brinstar (64)"), and yet Duel Zone (along with Meta Crystal and a few others) retains its original name instead of being updated to "Battlefield (64)". The fact that SmashWiki is not official means that we should not drop use of the "Battlefield" name entirely, but I do think that the official name takes precedence for the article's name. --[[User:PeabodySam|PeabodySam]] ([[User talk:PeabodySam|talk]]) 18:34, July 17, 2021 (EDT)
