Suggestion of rename this page from Muika to Muikamachi

Historically, Muikamachi (jp:六日町) have never been referred to as Muika.

Since the Japanese word "machi" means a town, a town's name which is cut "machi" from its name makes sense. However, Muikamachi is exceptinal. For example, people living in Muikamachi never call the town's name Muika, also other places in the town such as train station, ski resorts, and highway interchange all use Muikamachi without an exception when they include the name of the town as part of their name.

I think this case is quite rare. Thus, this case can't be suited to other towns in Japan.

Yes, I agree with the point above. I don't think I've ever heard Muikamachi referred to as only "Muika". It should be renamed to "Muikamachi". DavidBoudreau (talk) 16:59, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
