The only arguments I see in opposition of just "Poltergust" are "Poltergust is the generic name of the line of vacuums" (...is this even an opposition or just a statement of a fact?), "Luigi also uses the Poltergust G-00 as part of his grab in Ultimate" (already addressed and would have prevented a move to Poltergust G-00 too), "we should use the most recent name, regardless of what inconveniences it brings up" (literally the point of "SmashWiki is not official" is to prevent this exact mentality), "we've done the same to other renamed-but-functionally-identical Final Smashes" (considering Power Star/Grand Star and Fire Bow/Fire Arrow have no such "compromise" and are also still in line with what the community uses, the only actual comparison is "Ganon, The Demon King", which frankly is a bad name as well and also deserves reopening the discussion -- but bottom line is, "this is how we've always done it" is never an argument), and "Poltergust G-00 is the best option" (not an argument). None of these arguments strike me as particularly strong logic to go against the norm of "name the page after what the community generally calls it", which in this case comes with the secondary benefit of matching both names.

:In my opinion, it is a very bad idea to move this page to just Poltergust. This wiki should always adhere to the most recent names of moves in my opinion, and this page is no exception. [[Special:Contributions/72.219.72.215|72.219.72.215]] 23:50, September 23, 2020 (EDT)
