Sources for Translation
[edit]What are you talking about when you say, "original research is not allowed as a source"? None of the anime-title translations posted on Wikipedia are sourced, as far as I know; all of them are based on individual translations. Would this suffice as a source in that case: http://tangorin.com/general/%E6%8E%92%E7%90%83 Chaotic Purgatory (talk) 21:36, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Original research, like what you just gave me. Anime titles are not sourced, yes, however, Funimation, Crunchyroll, and other authorized anime-streaming sites give us the translation for these titles, which serves as official. The source you gave me would not suffice, due to it not being either official or endorsed. Check here for the rules on citations, if you would: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources JackOfPanTrades|Card Hunter (Converse intellectually) 01:46, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, Crunchyroll doesn't do that. I don't know where you've gotten the idea that any of the translations listed in parentheses are officially sourced. Crunchyroll chooses an English title that's usually localized, and is rarely ever the actual translation of the Japanese title. For example, look at the pages for Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea and Saga of Tanya the Evil. You'll see that even though they have an English title, the translations of their original Japanese titles is stated separately in parentheses. There is no "source" for these translations; they serve only to be informative in regard to the series' original title. Furthermore, a source is unnecessary for this, because the translation of something is not a fact that requires official confirmation (what you are asking for is an official source for the definition of a word, which is ludicrous). Chaotic Purgatory (talk) 22:18, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- You misunderstand me. I don't mean that Crunchyroll and Funimation translate the titles; they simply provide a title for English speakers to utilize. In my opinion, it's a bit extra to add in how Haikyuu means volleyball if you change it from katakana to kanji.JackOfPanTrades Card Hunter (Converse intellectually) 14:42, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Is there anyone that deals with translations and/or policy regarding this I can talk to about this? Chaotic Purgatory (talk) 22:21, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, now's probably the time to get someone else in. Ugog Nizdast (talk · contribs), what do you think? JackOfPanTrades Card Hunter (Converse intellectually) 14:42, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Well, it can be worded to say that it is most likely based on that term, just written in katakana for stylistic effect. Chaotic Purgatory (talk) 14:57, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't know what the dispute is about and am unsure what's my involvement in this so far in terms of the article or editors? I'm assuming, this is a sort of informal WP:3O request (which is already informal)? Then all I can advise on interpreting policy or guideline, not on the subject matter, which I don't recall ever working on. A short description as to what is it about, (I, quite frankly, as an unfamiliar editor just called here, cannot follow the above discussion) or relevant article links etc would help me. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 01:25, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- I want to add an explanation about the Japanese name for the series Haikyū!! in parentheses, as is done with all anime series (see Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea). Jack is claiming that these translations need to be sourced; however, there is never any source for these on any of the anime pages I've seen. The translations listed in parentheses serve simply to be informative as to the English meaning of the series' original title. This should require no source, as it is only an explanation on what they mean in their original, Japanese language. Sources are generally required only for the official title of a series when it comes to determining the page title. Chaotic Purgatory (talk) 01:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Removing redlinks
[edit]Your claim that "red links are supposed to be removed" is false. Please read WP:RED, which clearly states that "Red links for subjects that should have articles but do not, are not only acceptable, but needed in the articles. They serve as a clear indication of which articles are in need of creation, and encourage it. Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject." Please do not continue to remove redlinks or you will be blocked for vandalism. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:24, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Do you propose that articles be created for every minor gang joined into Yamaguchi-gumi and their leaders, then? Frankly, I think that they don't deserve an article in terms of notability. JackOfPanTrades Converse intellectually 18:26, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- If they are notable enough to qualify, then sure. However, redlinks should not be removed when multiple articles are linking to them. That helps in determining which should be created because it shows there is interest or a need for that article. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:41, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hm. Do you mind telling me what other articles link to the minor gangs, their leaders, etc.? JackOfPanTrades Converse intellectually 19:51, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- I said there were other pages linking to this specific redlink. You can see them just the same way as with other articles: "What links here". ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Can you? Clicking on red links leads me to a prompt to create it myself. JackOfPanTrades Converse intellectually 20:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, and when you click the link to create it yourself, the "What links here" tool will be shown in the Toolbox. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:23, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- I checked some, and most of these only have one or two articles linking to them. I still hold the position that these are not notable enough to garner an article, and that the red links should be deleted. JackOfPanTrades Converse intellectually 20:31, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- First of all, I have a life outside of Wikipedia, so I don't spend every waking moment here (though you apparently think I do, based on your edit summary). Second, if you had included "these are not notable enough to garner an article", then there wouldn't have been a problem. "Removed broken links" is just plain false. Moral of the story: be truthful and accurate in your edit summaries, and you'll have fewer problems. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:42, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Apologies if that was a bit quick. I just assumed we were in different time zones and that you would reply quicker. You're completely right, and I've learned some new things. Thanks! JackOfPanTrades Converse intellectually 02:23, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
