I'm not trying to advocate that the wiki change its translation practices, only that Narutopedia:Naming policy document those practices. The "don't translate mythology", for example, is widely accepted, but it's not mentioned in the policy. My goal is for the policy to explain why every article on this list is not being translated. But since some aren't as obvious as the mythology case, the community needs to help sort things out.

And obviously if there are any articles that the wiki can't come up with an explanation for or that there's no benefit to not translating, this is a good chance to fix that. Sajuuk mentioned that Janin is not translated "randomly". That should be remedied.

The articles that use village have their village titles untranslated as well (Takumi, Jomae, et al). It's not like the hidden village articles are named in a "Konohagakure Village" format, we don't put the "no Sato" in the article title. It might be simply a case of dropping the untranslated portion of the article title for those. There are three types of "Village" articles (I'm not counting the "-gakure" ones):
 * Bamboo Village, where the whole name is translated.
 * Hachō Village, which can't be translated further because it uses katakana.
 * Sugi Village, where only the "Village" is translated.
