(This article used to be about the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi)

Shouldn't we rename the title to simply Akagi since it is not ambigous. -- Taku 06:06 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

It seems to be the policy to name them this way. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships), and also its talk page, where this rule is debated. Personally, I think the current policy is wrong, but there you go. Tannin 09:22 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

I think the convension should be applied only for western ships. Japanese don't use common name or numbers basically for ships so I don't think every country needs to follow western convension. -- Taku 16:00 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

If you look at the page now you can see the reason for the convention. Gdr 18:53, 2004 Dec 13 (UTC)

I was partially reverted and I don't see how any of the information put back helps the reader find the correct article (except the Prefecture information - I'll grant you those - I made a mistake there). Who cares that the ships were named for the volcano? That information doesn't help you find the right ship. As for the volcano, there's no page for it, so it should be redlink, or the entry removed entirely. Eliminating the redlink doesn't help the reader find the intended article. And why does the link to basketball help? Or the fact that those characters are siblings? I don't get it. Tedernst | talk 23:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the ships being named after the volcano and about the basketball link, but I disagree about the volcano. It could be a redlink perhaps, but should certainly not be removed entirely. As for the siblings, it takes up little space and is not at all irrelevent older≠wiser 02:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
