So, under that proposal, is it "Fa Mulan"? --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 17:23, 13 February 2015 (UTC) | So, under that proposal, is it "Fa Mulan"? --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 17:23, 13 February 2015 (UTC) | ||
:Yes, and the reason why I think it's critical to not just use the "journal name" is because of stuff like Jack Sparrow/Jack Skellington, or The King/Mickey Mouse. Dropping titles or nicknames is acceptable because of pile-up, but if we have an official given and family name, it only saves us trouble in the long run to use both. Beat is an edge case where the alternate name wouldn't still be in the title (Leon is in Leonhart, Mulan is in Fa Mulan, etc.), and a redirect should be sufficient to satisfy that -- if ''absolutely'' necessary for ease of readership, we could move the article to "Daisukenojo 'Beat' Bito", but in my opinion that would open the door to throwing every other alternate name into a long "alias" pile-up in the article title. If we're okay with relaxing the standards on ''that one page'', I'm okay with it, but I would strongly prefer all other articles to use the 'legal' names.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:13, 13 February 2015 (UTC) | :Yes, and the reason why I think it's critical to not just use the "journal name" is because of stuff like Jack Sparrow/Jack Skellington, or The King/Mickey Mouse.
