Talk:Jin Akanishi

Nicknames

Dear Nique,

Please accept my aplogy for editing without reading your edit summaries.

I am new to Wikipedia and don't know how to use this very much. I understand your definition of nickname and it has being used, however "Bakahishi"is never been used as regular nickname rather a excuse/reasoning by his close friends when he does something foolish. Nontheless we hear less being used recently to respect Mr. Akanishi.

I understand if it is noted as a trivia but it seems little unfair to be announced to the world as "fool" for someone trying to study and challenge at his best.

In my understanding, nickname should be something close friends uses on regular basis with affection. In his case "Jin", "Akanishi", "Akanihi-kun", or "Jin-kun"

I would appreciate if you could consider this.

Thank you.

If I'm not imposing too much by tossing in my two cents on the matter, I just thought it might clarify matters to point out that the definition of a nickname is "a name added to or substituted for the proper name of a person, place, etc., as in affection, ridicule, or familiarity". (Definition lifted from Dictionary.com. ^.^;) Thus, 'Jin', 'Akanishi', and variants of those consisting exclusively of the given name/surname and a standard honourific, would technically not constitute nicknames.

Sorry if I'm just sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong. ^.^; Lithiumflower 02:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

"Bakanishi" also needs a reference. All information needs to be referenced. - Kaje 04:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

"Bakanishi" is a nick for Akanishi Jin in that sense when he does something foolish or absentmindedly. Its is used mostly by his own bandmates and close friends and anyone who is close to him although it is also often used in forums by his fans. I am suggesting if him being called of this nickname applies to as a trivia? As I'm new to these rules, comfirmation is needed for this information before its being added. thanks. ---- Alsykt (talk) 16:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)alsykt

Rewrite of article

Hello, I rewrote the entire article, because 1. Tokyo. Birthplace was missing. 2. Profile. Add the information into the rest of the article or cut it, when it's trivia. (His favourite colours, favourite season, etc. is not appropriate for an encyclopaedia). 3. Information on KAT-TUN belongs into KAT-TUN's article, not into Jin's. 4. ::"Akanishi in particular was ranked # 1 as the most wanted lover, most sexy and idol in Japan according to a popular poll taken by DUET magazine in":: -> that's not encyclopaedic 5. Trivia is discouraged by Wikipedia.

Technically I would argue that encyclopaedic information by defintion includes information that provides info regarding the subject matter that can be verified. This would include awards or distinguishments that have been earned by the subject matter and as such, I should think that Akanishi being distinguished in Japan by a national magazine as #1 in whatever category would be characterized as encyclopaedic information. Otherwise, people would be removing any distinguishments such as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, or #1 ranking on Oricon charts (which are, in essence, the same the magazine ranking since it is merely another contest formed by another company. It just so happens that the Oricon charts relate to the music industry. If you were to argue that Duet magazine does not count as a "real" award, you might as well say that Oricon also does not count since it is simply another arbitary music poll). Other than that, it's great that you're organizing the page!

Hello, Amwong88,

thanks for your contribution. I'm all in favour for displaying people's achievements, and the People's Sexiest Man Alive has some history to it, but I'm not Japan-savvy enough to say if "DUET magazine" is comparable to People's. Is there a magazine #1 in Japan? Because, if DUET is just one gossip magazine like a million others, the achievement is not notable. (And "most wanted lover" sounds a bit teeny-magazine to me.) Do you have any information on DUET? Best regards, --Plumcouch ^Talk2Me 01:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Popularity Section

I question the need for a Popularity section, especially when most Johnny's idols don't have one. Just a suggestion, to standardize the articles. Fiora the dragon (talk) 09:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
