Quick question--for things like [[Mori Nagasada]], would you prefer to use the adult name (Family name and nanori) as the base article, or do you want to use the more popular name (in this case a childhood name, it seems--Mori Ranmaru).  It looks like this name is more popular (I did a quick Japanese Wiki search--it seems that he and his brothers who were pages to Oda Nobunaga are best remembered for that role, and are thus remembered by their childhood names; at least, that's my conjecture).  - [[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 16:48, 7 November 2007 (PST)

:Use the name that is at the top of the article in the dictionary, in this case Mori Ranmaru, since that is the only commonly used name for him, and as far as I know, that is what he was mainly known as.  I'll move the article now. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 16:54, 7 November 2007 (PST)

It's like [[Sanada Yukimura]] - that wasn't his commonly used name in history, but no one is going to know him by any other name now. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 16:54, 7 November 2007 (PST)
