Obviously, if a mermaid named Ariel shows up on the show, they are referencing The Little Mermaid, we don't need to wait for the creators or writers to officially confirm it. Um, actually, yes, we do need the creators to clearly confirm the mermaid reference was referencing Ariel or it's a no go on the wiki. There's a fine line between using common sense and drawing final conclusions about a character that hasn't even been on the show yet. How would it look if it turns out to be incorrect and the minor mermaid reference was not referring to Ariel but just a mermaid? This wiki is based on using clear references to cite sources for information, which we clearly do not have enough of to detonate that one mermaid reference means it's Ariel.
