I want this to be read before my vote is seen. Both sides of the argument make a legitimate case. For instance, due to the existence of a Naruto "Fanon" Wiki, people will assume all things "canon" will be represented here, which is why some support the use of the arc names in the databook. Yes, we use official information. And of course, our translators will support this, and like in the past, many will blindly follow what they say. The majority of the time, we've followed what the translators say. However, those who oppose make a case as well. In the long term, readers may not recognize some of the databook's arc names. For example, "Sasuke and Sai Arc" is much more recognizable than "Bridge of Heaven and Earth Reconnaissance Mission." There will be organizational issues. Further breaking up the Fourth Shinobi World War into more arcs will be cumbersome. Like the opposition has said, we've known these names for years and decided not to use them. This is a fan site. Kishi isn't paying us. Again, those who support make a case, we've been following the databook for a while, so why stop following official things and be selective just because we don't like them? Wouldn't we have used the official arc names if we had them from the beginning? From those who oppose, should we follow everything Kishi says? If Kishi said, go jump off a bridge, should we do it? Even he makes mistakes and inconsistencies.

In the end of the day, whatever happens, it is what it is.

If we decide lean on the opposition and not change anything, then the databook names can be a trivia mention. If we decide to support the change, then the names we created will be simple redirects. In either situation, both arc names could be used.
