[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Move Kuroko → Kuroko (Samurai Shodown), then Kuroko (kabuki) → Kuroko. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Kuroko (kabuki) → Kuroko — User:Brain has requested this move in WP:JA. As he says.... "Kabuki meaning is the 'original' or 'main' definition, and the video game character is derivative." The current Kuroko article should be moved to something else, such as Kuroko (Samurai Shodown). Endroit 22:05, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

  1. Support, as nominator. And the following move should be done also: Kuroko → Kuroko (Samurai Shodown).--Endroit 22:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
  2. Support - seems an obvious move, since the other article is about a fictional character named after this common-use word brain 23:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
  3. Support - Makes sense to me. LordAmeth 10:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  4. Support Kuroko (kabuki) → Kuroko and Kuroko → Kuroko (Samurai Shodown) as I think Kuroko (kabuki) qualifies primary topic. In addition, we need Kuroko (disambiguation); Wikipedia currently has three articles about kuroko, Kuroko (kabuki), Kuroko (Samurai Shodown), and Kuroko (Ninja-Boy) but lacks a disambiguation page for them. --Kusunose 13:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can we expand this?

I think this should be expanded, like use in popular culture. I seem to remember a Pepsi comercial using it.

There is a policy guideline about these kinds of things: Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles. Not every instance of someone in all black is a direct reference to kuroko, or for that matter to ninja either. But, if it truly is notable - if it is one of those relatively rare instances of actual references to traditional culture in a modern TV ad - then by all means go and add it.
