Shintōhō → Shintoho – The company presented its name in English as "Shintoho": see this video, for example. It is also usually known as "Shintoho" in English. Shintōhō has eight hits on Google books, but Shintoho has 3110 hits.Mysterious Island (talk) 00:32, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Waiting for expansion since 2006 - welcome to Wikipedia, however the priority for this "translate from ja.wp" stub from 2006 is not renaming, but to expand with reliably sourced material. At the moment the Hepburn title does no harm and gives a clue that the name is 新東宝, which Toho doesn't. Bytes would be better expended by first improving the article. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:40, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Wikipedia has any shortage of bytes! I agree that expanding the article is very important, but at the moment, Mysterious Island has decided to focus on finding the best name for the article and I don't see any reason why debating the topic on its merits will delay the article's expansion. For what it's worth I find Mysterious Island's data pretty convincing. —Neil 06:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. All the evidence does seem to indicate that the company wrote its name without macrons in English. --DAJF (talk) 04:44, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. If the company lists its English name without the marks, then it should be moved. Rreagan007 (talk) 05:28, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List removed

I've removed the list. The article states it's a list of significant films but does contains no sources to why they are significant in film or for Shintoho. Want to add it back? add some content that backs up the films listed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:38, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shintoho SF and horror films

How is a list of the science fictions and horror films notable to the article? Shintoho was not particularly known for these genres, and the prose does not explain their notability. Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:40, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ok it's fixed68.129.15.71 (talk) 20:33, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really seeing much use in just a use of films either man. That can be taken care of by a category, (Category:Shintoho films). Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:47, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shintoho was knowen for its pink films and exploitation films, such as low budget horror/sci-fi. Starman is their most famous exploitation film, but they made a number of horror/ghost films that unfortunates such as myself collect avidly. How can this info not be relevant, when the company was known for these cheap horror films and sexy movies? Fans who collect Shintoho mostly buy only their horror and space movies.68.129.15.71 (talk) 17:37, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are listing a lot of information without explaining why the list of films is important and some of your statements here seem to be incorrect. Chris D.'s book Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film. Shintoho seemed to have only moved to primarily making genre films after the mid 1950s. As there are films that do not have their own articles, I guess its okay to keep going with this, but keep it simple. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:35, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
