  • Do nothing Macrons are good: they help readers who don't know Japanese pronounce the short o/u and long o/u. However I would guess here that Hokkaido and Kyushu are so familiar without macrons that leaving as is best. But who would know that Tōhoku was long o - short o if it wasn't marked. Leave as is.

    • In all fairness, I'm not sure that most non-Japanese speakers would know that's what the macrons meant in the first place! -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:45, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment I made this nomination because the titles should be consistent. SCP-053 (talk) 23:40, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • keep the titles with macrons, move the titles without macrons - Macrons are useful and are helpful to readers. In fact, I would consider moving ones without macrons to ones with macrons, such as Tokaido Shinkansen to Tōkaidō Shinkansen.

  • Comment most of the current titles are already WP:CONSISTENT with the respective region articles: San'yō region, Jōetsu region, Tōhoku region, Kyushu, and Hokkaido. The exceptions are Tokaido Shinkansen (compare Tōkaidō (region)), and Chūō Shinkansen which isn't strictly named after a region (but the region article Chūbu region -- same Chū -- also uses macrons, as does other stuff with similar names in the same area like Chūō Expressway.) 61.239.39.90 (talk) 05:17, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
