Talk:Kurotsuru

Should this page be moved to "Blackbeard (doctor)"? --Meganoide 11:25, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Two Words
It looks like this guy's name is two words. If you look on the jacket there is a space between black and beard. So his name should be Black Beard. It should be moved. 21:13, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Nice catch. 21:15, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, good eye. Do it.

Name of Article
This article needs to be moved back to Black Beard instead of Kurotsuru. We use manga images as the number 1 source for names. Kurotsuru came from the databook so it isn't as reliable. SeaTerror (talk) 23:00, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

Well, the manga never said "Black Beard" is his actual name. It was just written on his coat. Could be a nickname. 20:33, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

That's a bit unprofessional to have a nickname on the coat. 20:51, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Speculations. 20:53, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

We do use manga names over databook names. Similar to how Happa is used and not Yamao. I don't think it's speculation since it's ON his coat. 21:02, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

It might be a nickname. 19:36, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Stop edit warring. The manga said Black Beard, and the databook said Kurotsuru. Saying it's his nickname is SPECULATION. 19:38, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

I'll just copy and paste the way we do sources again:

Original manga (especially those with English text written in it) SBS Databooks Anime Scanlators/fansubbers (depends on reliability of scanlators/fansubbers) English Manga (Viz) English Subs (Funimation) English Dubs (FUNimation SeaTerror (talk) 19:39, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Saying its his name is speculation. 19:40, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

HE WAS NEVER CALLED BLACKBEARD BUT HE WAS GIVEN A PROPER NAME, WHICH IS KUROTSURU. 19:52, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

^ Somebody doesn't know how we do sources here. SeaTerror (talk) 19:55, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
