Talk:Natto Wada

Common name
While there are some sources that give "Natsuto Wada," it would seem that the most common rendering of her name is "Natto Wada." For instance, in terms of Google hits, the latter comes up with 7500 hits while the former only 470. All the other pages on Wikipedia also use Natto, and it appears continually in reliable sources:, , , , , , , |0/Course-Offerings-Advanced-Japanese.html, , , etc. Unless someone argues otherwise, I will propose the article be moved to Natto Wada per WP:COMMONNAME.

 * As the creator of this article at this location, I'm fine with the change, but let's maintain the redirect under this name? --Owlsmcgee (talk) 03:18, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding. The current name can definitely be maintained as a redirect, but we probably have to have an administrator do the move because the current redirect page occupies the space where the page would go and it has more than a one-line history (see WP:MOR). I'll wait to see if there are any objections before asking an administration. Michitaro (talk) 13:54, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Natsuto Wada → Natto Wada – As stated above: While there are some sources that give "Natsuto Wada", it would seem that the most common rendering of her name in English is "Natto Wada." For instance, in terms of Google hits, the latter comes up with 7500 hits while the former only 470. All the other pages on Wikipedia also use Natto, and it appears continually in reliable sources:, , , , , , , , , etc. IMDb lists her as Natto Wada. Ngram comparison comes up with nothing for Natsuto Wada. All these are reasons why it should be moved per WP:COMMONNAME. I should also note this is very likely Wada's personal preference. The official website for Kon Ichikawa, her husband, gives her name as Natto Wada (わだなっと). Michitaro (talk) 00:49, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Support for all of the reasons stated above. It may be worth noting that "Natsuto" (with a large つ) does not appear in the Japanese Wikipedia article. I would go as far as saying that the use of "Natsuto" in some English sources may be due to an assumption that the standard reading of the kanji character "Natsu" applied to her name.
