Nobuko, Princess Tomohito of Mikasa

Her own name is Nobuko. Why on the earth has someone invented the article name that says nothing of her as person, only her husband's official title in feminine form. This begins to be distant from encyclopedic purposes and close to jargon of some archchamberlain etiquettemaster. 217.140.193.123 29 June 2005 16:03 (UTC)

• oppose. official protocol, which applies internationally, has her "listed" as such. this has nothing to do with her being surpressed as woman or anything... Antares911 4 July 2005 09:19 (UTC)

Hmm. the reason presented by the originator is "official protocol". This really seems to be close to jargon of some archchamberlain etiquettemaster, and is distant from any encyclopedic purpose. 217.140.193.123 6 July 2005 07:35 (UTC)

for encyclopedic purpose, look up Princess Michael of Kent, who is also not named Marie-Christine, Princess Michael of Kent ;-) Antares911 7 July 2005 14:49 (UTC)

We actually do not have a clear policy on those Europeans, although in my opinion guidelines point to mention the person's own first name in the heading. Princess Michael of Kent can be seen not acceptable, and it needs some further thought and improvement. However, orientals are not under that policy. Thus Nobuko could be given a more practical heading.
She under Princess Tomohito of Mikasa is basically equivalent to Camilla being under just Duchess of Cornwall.217.140.193.123 7 July 2005 22:20 (UTC)

oh my lord, i can´t believe you just wrote "orientals" are you even remotely aware how offensive that is????? Antares911 8 July 2005 00:06 (UTC)

And what's so wrong in saying such in talk page? Do I remember correctly that you do similar things in talk pages? (Your comment is actually quite funny. I think I will further refer ""OhmylordIcan'tbelieve" to you:) 217.140.193.123 8 July 2005 05:48 (UTC)
