Talk:Liquor Iron Ore

Name
Well, we're not calling it Wine Steel, thank fuck, but Liquor Iron Ore or Liquore is a harder decision. It's the literal translation against the intended joke. Thoughts, or should I just change it and be done with this?

I'm in favor of Liquore. The joke translates pretty well, might as well use it. 02:12, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not taking a side yet, but for precedent, we have Bananawani and Warusagi Birds. Both untranslated. 09:25, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Who said the original word contains a joke? 14:16, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

I think he means the pun of combining Liquor and Ore 14:48, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

But who claimed that the original Japanese term had a pun? Klobis, Powermanga and Aohige have made no mention of such. 15:01, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

Might be a good idea to leave it in Japanese - the romanization is Kitetsu-kō (the hyphens and spaces might be different), but since Ki isn't a normal pronunciation for 酒 I'm thinking there's a relationship between the ore and Kitetsu (and his blades). It's just a theory at this point though, of course, so leaving it in English would be fine too. 104.238.32.60 07:57, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

I still say we move it to Liquore. 16:41, October 13, 2015 (UTC)

So can we move it to Liquore now? 07:11, October 15, 2015 (UTC)

"But who claimed that the original Japanese term had a pun? Klobis, Powermanga and Aohige have made no mention of such." Liquore leaves out "iron" completely and makes no sense if the term didn't even have a pun originally. 10:48, October 15, 2015 (UTC)

Let's either get a translator to contribute or have an admin decision, this isn't worth going to poll over.

Klobis was the one that moved it to Liquor Iron Ore. SeaTerror (talk) 01:03, October 16, 2015 (UTC)

It is Iron Ore. Liquore does not contain "iron". --Klobis (talk) 07:45, October 16, 2015 (UTC)

Iron Ore already kinda exists in the real world and isn't exactly rare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_ore Leman-Russkin (talk) 11:44, October 16, 2015 (UTC)
