Talk:Girl Next Door (band)

Where to start?
OK, we'll start with this sentence: "Girl Next Door, romanized as GIRL NEXT DOOR in Japan". Dude, romanisation is when you take kanji and kana and transliterate it into roman characters. 本山 becomes Motoyama. If the band spells its name in all caps, that's how it should be entered here on Wikipedia. So we're going to need a new article called GIRL NEXT DOOR, and we'll need this to redirect to that.

Next I'd enjoy knowing the source for all your information. Specifically, "Girl Next Door is produced by avex trax becoming the first artists part of avex to be produced by the actual avex trax." and "Girl Next Door had their debut song put up on few sites since May 29, 2008. As of July 2008, there are already two million views. Also on a ranking of one site, they are ranked #1 for the most viewed and popular artists. They are planning to release three new singles for three months." Care to source that information?72.67.93.133 (talk) 22:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * English Wikipedia does not allow us to name the articles with all capitalized, unless each letter means something. Other Wikipedias, such as the Japanese one has different rules so we can have an article with all capitals. Information I added are sourced by something called the "General Sources", which are in the section "References".. I added the three sources upon adding the information when creating the article. Go read them. --staka (T) 22:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not here to argue this kind of stuff. If you say it's cool, it's cool, but it seems to me though that if your sources should be in English for the English article. Yes? No? Whatever. I'd say I've got better things to do with my time than worry about this, but that'd be an obvious lie.72.67.93.133 (talk) 06:57, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Most English sources on these Japanese topics will be translation of Japanese sources. So we just use the original Japanese sources.. some English sources may contain bias information that the translator or the editor of that English source may have added. So if the topic is Japanese, we use Japanese sources. If the topic is something from another country, we use that country's source, primarily. Yeah, go do something else. --staka (T) 22:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Daisuke Suzuki
Daisuke Suzuki redirects to DAT (Day After Tomorrow) - who also have a keyboardist by the same name. Is this the same Suzuki. Both of these names are awfully common, so i would not be surprised if two Daisuke Suzuki's played keyboard in J-pop bands. It just makes it annoying for wikipedia...
 * This Daisuke Suzuki in Girl Next Door is the same person that was part of Day After Tomorrow. I redirected to Day After Tomorrow since he is famous for being part of that group rather than this.. or the other one who's apparently a character of American Dad.. a fictional character who isn't notable. Meaning I don't think a disambiguation was needed.. --staka (T) 00:41, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, you should read the articles I used as reference.. they all cover, and are third-party sources for all information in the current version of the article. --staka (T) 00:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
