New name
Having read through the final draft script of TAS: "Mudd's Passion", I've come to the opinion that a much more suitable name for these creatures would be "rock beasts". In the script, the lifeforms as commonly referred to as "beasts," and there's one reference to both the aliens as "rock beasts" (a far less generic name). --Defiant 06:13, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Since our title is singular, wouldn't we say "rock beast"? Other than that, sounds good. --OuroborosCobra talk 07:20, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll go for "rock beast" as well. --31dot 09:54, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I meant to suggest "rock beast"; I was a bit too tired, and made the error of proposing the plural form. "Rock beast" is what I'm suggesting; it's a lot more accurate for how they are described in the script. --Defiant 13:44, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Should it be a disambig page, with a link to each? --31dot 23:27, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
Possibly. Regardless, I reckon it'll be a good idea to have each of the two pages (Rock beast & Rock Man) have the usual "If you were looking for..." blurb, so they both open with a redirect to one another! --Defiant 02:14, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
- (years later) The above sounds like a consensus to rename to me, the actual action was probably just forgotten. I'm going to give if a few more days in case someone dissagrees. But if no one comments here, I'm going to rename this. -- Capricorn (talk) 02:51, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
- Makes sense. --| TrekFan Open a channel 16:53, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
