Title of Page

The title of this article is currently "Makoto Sakurai (writer)". However, considering he has more experience as a political activist and now the leader of a new political party, I believe the title should be changed to reflect that. --Minfremi (talk) 23:01, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Makoto Sakurai (writer) → Makoto Sakurai (activist) – Based on the comments of Minfremi in the section above, I think it is appropriate to start a formal discussion. I note the Japanese wiki article uses the term "activist", which sounds the most appropriate to me. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:54, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree The fact that he is a writer is not wrong. However, he started off as a blogger, then started using bulletin board sites. 10 years ago he started being a political activist, only last summer to run for Tokyo governor, then the leader of a political party. He has written several books, but that is not his main profession. --Minfremi (talk) 22:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
