Talk:E. Honda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This page needs the name changed to E.Honda. The first line says it all: "more commonly known as E.Honda". That's because E.Honda is his only official name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.129.28.21 (talk • contribs).
- Sorry, you're wrong. His official name *is* Edmond Honda, called E.Honda for short. Danny Lilithborne 19:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- So why isn't Tom Cruise's page named Thomas Cruise Mapother IV? His most common name is E. Honda and the page needs to be changed to this. Edmond Honda should be a redirect but his page should be E. Honda as this is the character's official name. Every game he is featured in calls him E. Honda, in manuals, at the top of the screen and anywhere else. The title of the page isn't a place where you need to give viewer's extra information. If people want to know what E stands for, then they can read the article. Mr.bonus 19:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's not relevant as he's a real person. There are plenty of other characters that have articles by their full names even though they're not commonly referred to as such (Yun Lee, Maki Genryusai, Rolento Schugerg). I'm moving this and Thunder Hawk back to their original names. If you still have a problem, take it to dispute resolution. Danny Lilithborne 23:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Terrible argument. I know there are lots of other articles using full names, but they are wrong also. This articles needs to be named after his most common name, not his full name. There is no valid argument as to why the page is the full name. Mr.bonus 15:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I think his page should be named E. Honda, as that is the name he is known by. Edmond Honda is extra information that is not needed in the page's title. Plus, not one game has his name written as Edmond. He is always called E. Honda. I also think T. Hawk's page should be T. Hawk, and the others for exampl Rolento, should be called Rolento (Street Fighter) or Rolento (Final Fight). No full names in character pages' titles. Is there even proof that the E stands for Edmond? I think it's just something Capcom of America added. Maybe Capcom Japan later acknowledged this, but I'm pretty sure the E. didn't stand for anything when he was first invented (1991). Bobmills 16:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

- If that's what you want to do, then you better get busy; there's a whole lot of articles that use full names:
- And that's just for Street Fighter. Danny Lilithborne 06:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes I know, and other games are even worse (Soul Edge and Samurai Shodown). Mr.bonus 13:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

- I have just moved all the pages to the correct article names. Now the article names refer to how they are known in all of Capcom's games, not in any outside materials - You can find out full names in the first paragraph of each article. I have also created R. Mika as a redirect. Mr.bonus 14:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Honda as a Hawaiian in the live action film
Why Honda is depicted in the live action Street Fighter movie as being Hawaiian?
- It's a mystery. Danny Lilithborne 20:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
