Talk:Yoshiko Yamaguchi

rating

Not sure why this is rated a 'B' class article. Its is full of typos and grammar errors and doesn't make any sense at many points.

A 'C' or even a 'Start' rating would be more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.4.36.221 (talk) 05:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Infobox misuse

The infobox is entitled with a different name than the article title. Furthermore, it only describes her career as a singer and actress, not as a politician. It seems to be misuse of the infobox template. Am I missing something? Is there some reason for the infobox to (apparently) misrepresent her? I'm asking here pending altering the infobox.

Article name

I suggest we change the name to "Shirley Yamaguchi", as she is better known in the English-speaking world.--Mycomp (talk) 05:14, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Yoshiko Ōtaka → Yoshiko Yamaguchi – It seems clear beyond debate that no one, not in the West and not in Japan, actually refers to her as Yoshiko Ōtaka. Google search results of the term reveals that it is only listed as an alias in nearly every page that has to do with her. WP:COMMONNAME therefore requires that we adopt a more commonly used name for the actress. Two potential options are "Yoshiko Yamaguchi" and "Shirley Yamaguchi"; both names are in reasonably common use in the English-speaking media, but I would like to argue for the former. Now, it's true that the latter is slightly more popular in Google search results. However, looking into Google News results for the recent news of her passing, we find that:

• Special-interest media covering the entertainment business (Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood.com, Variety, etc.) tend to refer to her as "Shirley Yamaguchi", since she used this as a stage name in the U.S.;
• Mainstream media, however, such as the New York Times, LA Times, The Guardian, etc. all prefer "Yoshiko Yamaguchi".

Normally the actress doesn't receive much coverage in mainstream media, but does have a number of articles written about her in the show business media. This thus explains why the name "Shirley Yamaguchi" is slightly more popular in Google Search results. Insofar as the policy at WP:COMMONNAME is concerned, however, I believe that the name most favored by mainstream media—that is, "Yoshiko Yamaguchi"—is the best name to use in an encyclopedic article. I am, however, open to debate and challenges on this opinion. Regardless of which name is chosen, however, I think we can all agree that the current one needs to go :) M.

• Support. Here is the Washington Post`s obit: "Yoshiko ‘Shirley’ Yamaguchi, actress, dies at 94". The NYT's bio is entitled "Shirley Yamaguchi" and their obit is "Yoshiko Yamaguchi, 94, Actress in Propaganda Films, Dies". Voice of reason 2 (talk) 08:02, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
• Support per above, use the most common name in the west since her career and notability is not confined to just Japan. Timmyshin (talk)
  • It's not a Japanese vs. English issue. The current title is her married name, which she used as a member of parliament. She used the proposed title in her earlier career as a film star, which is certainly more notable. Voice of reason 2 (talk) 00:27, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
• Support per nom. — Myasuda (talk) 13:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
