Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Kotani Yasunori of the Yasukuni Shrine 1909-2003 → Kenzō Kotani — The format for the title should be given name-family name per WP:MOS-JP#Names of modern figures; Yasunori does not appear to be an accepted pseudonym per WP:MOS-JP#Pseudonyms, because the same person also went under a separate pseudonym (Takenori) and there is little evidence to suggest that one was preferred over the other. The article was moved to Kotani Kenzo by the closer of its AfD, User:Sandstein, but was moved to a new descriptive title by its creator. There are currently triple redirects, and the page needs a stable title. Dekimasu よ! 04:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Add any additional comments:

Can the article's creator confirm that Kotani's given name was read as Kenzō, rather than Norizō? His subsequent pseudonyms would seem to lend evidence to the latter. Dekimasu よ! 04:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Search on Google Book Search with "kotani kenzo" yasukuni returns two pages (seems relevant to the article's subject) and kotani norizo returns zero. Here's another page that says his real name is Kenzo Kotani. It seems Kenzō is correct. --Kusunose 06:25, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that there is great confusion of why Yasunori/Takenori/Kotani Kenzo is not consistently used in common literature. I must say here (and Japanese literature like Tom Kishida's book 'Yasukuni To' (2005)is the only authority apart from my personal interview of the man himself in 2003 before his death (see Token Bijutsu Journal March 2006) which confirms the uses of his two names Yasunori/Takenori)simutaeously from 1935-1945. In Japanese art circles this is an accepted practice of an artist holding multiple names during his career.

Kotani Kenzo is his real name and should not be confused as his art name. tempaireTempaire 06:18, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No arguments have been provided as to why WP:MJ should not apply in this case, as it usually does. This article has been renamed from Kotani Yasunori of the Yasukuni Shrine 1909-2003 to Kenzō Kotani as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 11:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
