Why are people still changing without citing why?

because we are all nova teachers and the dude is only here as a joke. chill.

[edit] Deletion

Sorry, but we shouldn't keep the article. Whether you like him or not, his personal importance is really not large enough to warrant keeping an encyclopedia article on him. Such an article is only going to be a focus for personal attacks or coporate brown-nosing. NOVA group would go on without him.--Shakujo 08:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I think he deserves his own page, for the same reason Ken Lay has one. Sahashi is still missing and seems to have lived a culture of corporate excess. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20071101TDY02304.htm Also allegations in the press are that he funneled the money out of Nova into another company http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200711010091.html This man won't be forgotten anytime soon. The page obviously needs some flesing out. Below comment has had signature deleted by SineBot(never heard of this - is this some WikiScanner countermeasure?) Maybe this is an anonymizing thing, but an unsigned comment is confusing so I'll sign them as Anonymous to avoid confusion but leave out their IP to avoid SineBot doing it again.

He is a big news maker in this part of the world right now, he should have his own page. Just because a lot of people have some not nice things to say about him, for good reason in my opinion, doesn't mean he should not have a page. The Nova colapse is one of the top three Japanese business stories this year and he is right in the middle of it. If someone puts something on here that isn't true, you can fix it. The article will likely have a negative tilt because of some of the things he did and some of the interesting allegations the newspapers have printed(things like turning down a deal with Marui that might have saved the company, interesting accounting methods, secretly selling most of his stock without reporting the sale, donating 100,000,000 yen in company money to his own foundation which he used to wine and dine government officails, connections to arrested stock speculator Nishida Harou, and questionable business deals in the Virgin Islands ), but I'm sure Ken Lay's article doesn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling about Ken Lay. The Yumiuri Shimbun is doing a three part in depth look at the Nova colapse. It has a lot of interesting things to say about Saruhashi so far: http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20071030TDY01302.htm - Anonymous. 23:12, 30 October 2007

[edit] Use Sahashi

Use Sahashi please.

It is what he is to referred to most frequently, and the name he uses himself. The change does not have to be official to be used.

As we do have a news article about the name-change [1], The name-change can be mentioned in the article.--ZayZayEM (talk) 01:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I've added a note mentioning his previous name to the article. "Sahashi" is the name widely used in current media reports, so this is what should be used here. --DAJF (talk) 02:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking of adding a fuller explanation for the name change. Changing your name is kind of an important detail about a person. I was just waiting for the move--ZayZayEM (talk) 03:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I added more information about the name change with a source, someone might want to re-write it. Statisticalregression (talk) 19:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
