We thought, due to one of the characters being named after 'Diglett', it was ok to have another reference name that would be harmless. We made a mix name joke of the tentacles looking like straws -as said in trivia- and a character from a web browser game who has multiple eyes and a similair headshape: 'Roary Scrawl'. Manhole, even though of course a normal word, looked a bit strange and was a bit simple. But a redirect is there is people still look for it that way. (also the word is mentioned on the page itself, so they will find it even without redirect) | We thought, due to one of the characters being named after 'Diglett', it was ok to have another reference name that would be harmless.

The renaming of this character is completely unnecessary. It was generally agreed that Vomiting Diglett wasn't a good name, so why would you take that and shoehorn it here? The idea of referencing a character just because another article does the same is nonsensical. That idea is frowned upon and should be kept to a minimum. Manhole-sama was just fine, and I personally think it's much more of a straight-forward and fitting name for this character. | |||

Name reasoning
We thought, due to one of the characters being named after 'Diglett', it was ok to have another reference name that would be harmless. We made a mix name joke of the tentacles looking like straws -as said in trivia- and a character from a web browser game who has multiple eyes and a similair headshape: 'Roary Scrawl'. Manhole, even though of course a normal word, looked a bit strange and was a bit simple. But a redirect is there is people still look for it that way.

Renaming back to Manhole-sama
The renaming of this character is completely unnecessary. It was generally agreed that Vomiting Diglett wasn't a good name, so why would you take that and shoehorn it here? The idea of referencing a character just because another article does the same is nonsensical. That idea is frowned upon and should be kept to a minimum. Manhole-sama was just fine, and I personally think it's much more of a straight-forward and fitting name for this character.
