As I'm sure most people are aware, there are two bosses that share the same name and a number of similarities, namely the Smelter Demon from the Iron Keep and the Smelter Demon from the Iron Passage. There has been some debate already as to whether the two pages should either be merged or kept separate with a disambiguation page (example). Some more discussion can be read in the Smelter Demon (Crown of the Old Iron King)'s comment section. As far as this debate has gone, no final decision has been reached so we will start a poll to see who is in favour of which idea. If you vote, please leave a comment as to why you voted how you did.

Here's some things to keep in mind while discussing and voting:

Evidence for the Merge
 * Hydra and Dragonrider. Both of these cases include very similar enemies with some differences in their attacks. However, they share the same page because they have the same name.
 * Additionally, there are two types of Dragonrider, bow and spear varieties.
 * Both Smelter Demons drop the exact same soul.
 * The Smelter Demons have the same name.

Evidence against the Merge
 * Stray Demon and Demon Firesage. These two bosses are remarkably similar aside from the fact that they have different names and drops.
 * The Smelter Demons have different models.
 * The Smelter Demons deal different types of damage (Magic and Fire).
 * The Smelter Demons have slightly different attack patterns.
 * You can summon different NPCs for the fights.

I've probably missed some evidence, that's where the discussion comes in. So here's the vote:

Should the Smelter Demons have different pages? Yes, the differences are great enough to have two different pages with a disambiguation page. No, the differences are trivial and there should only be one page.

While posting please remember discussions like this can easily get heated when there are disagreements, so a friendly reminder to keep the conversation civil.
