# Support as nominator.  Banzai should NOT redirect immediately to Ten thousand years, because that is NOT what many people expect it to be.--Endroit 01:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Simple reason.... The Ten thousand years article does not even mention the word Banzai (in English) until the bottom half of that article.  Please compare that with any English dictionary (see below for Merriam-Webster's).  The current content of Banzai (disambiguation) is closer to what the English readers would expect to find for the word "Banzai".  This is the English wikipedia after all, not the Japanese nor the Chinese ones.--Endroit 05:00, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

message: # Oppose I'm not 100% clear why the move was proposed, but you do know that the Japanese meaning of Banzai is also the same thing as "thousand years", just using the Japanese pronounciation? --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 04:51, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
