After reading this carefully, it appears that the people who are saying we should keep the current existing fan-made arc names all have their arguments hinging upon one key foundation: it's convenient and easier this way for fans to find the information they need, and changing them will confuse people.

Well, goons, here comes Sei to destroy your flimsy foundation.

Let's put things into perspective, shall we? This is an English site, correct? This means that the majority of fans looking up this information are Americans; English speakers. Doesn't that make sense? So that means, a good majority of Naruto fans will have probably, just like I did when I was younger, first get into Naruto with the English Dub. And if my memory serves me correctly, I do recall that, for example, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique was called "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" in the Dub. But wait! The article itself has it written as "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu"! Gasp! I mean, sure, if I type in the english dub version, I'll be redirected to that page, but I'm just a poor American twelve year old not familiar with those names! For convenience, keeping them with the English dub names makes it easier for me to understand things here.

But wait. Why is it we don't do that? Oh wait, that's right. Because Kishi said so. Wouldn't it be convenient as fuck to just call the jutsu "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu"? Shorter, more sensible of a name, and easier for english dub watchers to find. And yet! It may be listed on the article, but the article itself isn't named that. Because... You guessed it! Because Naruto is a Japanese manga, first and foremost, so the accurate Japanese translation is needed. But not just that, Naruto is Kishi's work, and he is the one that named the technique.

Seriously, I don't understand how this is even being discussed. In the humble words of Gaara-sama, "When did you all forsake yourselves?" This site is meant to represent Kishi's work, Naruto, as accurately as humanly possible. This is a site for information, and for the sake of information, people do not compromise. As a student of the hard sciences, I am appalled that so many of you would actually oppose changing them to their accurate arc names when you know the right names were coined by Kishi; all to make things more convenient for you lot. Stop giving yourselves so much importance, the existence of a manga wiki is to accurately report Kishi's work, not to play around with things that make it convenient for you. Get off your high horses.
