I don't wholly agree with this motion. I really dislike this trend of "banishing" all aspects of the original work. First we started using less of the mangaka's own work and now this is attempting to sideline the original language.

• I disagree with the first point. There's nothing wrong with mentioning someone's epithet and including the Japanese to it. While I am not sure it's unique to this wiki, it's something that persons have come to like about the articles. sing UMinato's introduction for example, the information about his death is what should be removed.

"Minato Namikaze (波風ミナト, Namikaze Minato) was the Fourth Hokage (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Fourth Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. He was famous in life for his speed, leading to the moniker of Konoha's Yellow Flash (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō)" is just as short and doesn't make the information that should be in his background redundant from the get-go...

• Point 2 - agreed.

• Point 3- neutral. There are times when the translation make sense from a writing aspect. Take Sasori and his "core of living flesh". That's not proper English and that name can't be mentioned any where else in his article (well maybe except the trivia) but it's still interesting to know.
