Gunmen vs. Ganmen in Gurren Lagann
Hi Prokigan,

I've noticed that you are in an edit dispute over the name of the mecha in Gurren Lagann. The relevant guideline for names in anime and manga articles is WP:MOS-AM. Though the manual of style doesn't directly address names for mecha, it has guidelines for names for characters, and mecha names should probably be handled the same way. The manual of style says "Characters should be identified by the names used in the official English releases of the series", so I believe User:Juhachi is correct that Gunmen should be used. While that may not be an accurate translation of the Japanese, since this is the English language Wikipedia, it uses official English names. If you believe this is a poor policy, you can feel free to propose it be changed, though I believe there is wide consensus on Wikipedia that English names should be used for foreign names whenever there is an official or commonly used English name.

 * This is also supported by the article titles guideline, in particular the statement "In deciding whether and how to translate a foreign name into English, follow English-language usage.". As Juhachi pointed out at WT:ANIME, all English reliable sources use "Gunmen", not "Ganmen". — as 67.58.229.153 (talk) (what's this?) 19:57, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
