message: Anybody who knows anything at all about Japanese Literature would strongly disagree with calling him "Ranpo Edogawa" because Japanese family names come first.  Edogawa Ranpo (or rampo, I dont' really care about the spelling) is a pseudonym meant to sound like "Edgar Alan Poe," which is completely lost if you put the arbitrarily titled "family name" first.  I don't understand why it is getting changed. KyleSchulz (talk) 18:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Name spelling

message: The MoS states in the General guidelines section: "4. Syllabic n ん is generally written as n before consonants ..., but as n' (with an apostrophe) before vowels and y."
In the Syllabic "n" section, it states:
So is there any reason not to move this page to "Edogawa Ranpo"?  "Ranpo" returns 7,380 hits from Google Books, while "Rampo" returns 3,340.  There's clearly no preponderance of usage that would dictate going with the "m" spelling. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 02:10, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a little late to this party, but since Rampo's name is now strongly established as "Rampo" in Western media, shouldn't it be reverted to Rampo? The only recent publication I can find with the name written as "Ranpo" is a translation published in December of 2012. "Rampo" even nets twice as many Google hits. I know there is some contention because the Rampo transliteration "ruins the fun" for some people, but the name of this article seems to be going against the tide as far as the Romanization of Rampo's name is concerned, especially since academics who publish his translations and even a film use the "Rampo" Romanization.わかんねぇさ (talk) 06:33, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Edogawa Rampo →  – WP:MOSJ#Syllabic "n". GBooks 6,970 > 3,110. Brought up a few times earlier but with no clear move request; consensus still seemed to be in favour of a move. I nominated this six months ago, and (disregarding a sockpuppet that was harassing me) there was one bewildering oppose !vote that I roundly disproved, but I was forced to leave Wikipedia shortly thereafter and RM seemed to die with me. The above arguments still apply, so I'm re-RMing now that I'm back and here to stay. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 11:04, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If they really were related I would have included this one. But this is so unlike all of them that, had I done so, I would have suffered harsh criticism. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 11:47, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
