Talk:Hasami

"Scissors"
Isn't better to rename the page "Hasami", it being the true name and not a translation? Rayleigh92 (talk) 12:06, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Since it's a given name and not a general name (like "Whitebeard") I also think that would be more fitting. However, whatever we choose the same should apply to Eyelashes as well.

Pretty sure both of those were romanized. SeaTerror (talk) 17:45, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

I doubt they would have been romanized in English when their names are in Japanese.

You mean like Whitebeard and Blackbeard? SeaTerror (talk) 23:34, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

With those two we have a cultural standpoint to work from. There was never a famous pirate named Scissors. 23:39, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

That was our choice to translate those, but that's because they are epithets. We translate all epithets. What Rayleigh92 pointed out is that "scissor" is his actual name, so it shouldn't be translated, but left as "hasami". For example, Piiman means "pepper", but we leave it as Piiman since it's his name, although the English adaptation translate it.

We leave names untranslated, but translate epithets. Scissors isn't an epithet, so it shouldn't be translated. Unless you can find the romanization you mentioned earlier, it should be moved. 00:01, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
