On the [[List of legendary creatures from Japan]] page there was a single external link after Namazu's name, added after the fact, which seemed more appropriate here. [[User:Duende-Poetry|Duende-Poetry]] ([[User talk:Duende-Poetry|talk]]) 14:03, 7 December 2011 (UTC) |

I think the name of the Japanese giant catfish that supposedly causes earthquakes is Ōnamazu (大鯰) not just namazu (鯰), which is the name for the ordinary (real) catfish. This is corroborated by the Japanese equivalent of this Wikipedia page here: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E9%AF%B0. I guess this means that this article should be renamed.

:Following the example on the French version of this page, I just added Ōnamazu (大鯰) as an alternate name. This might suffice without changing the name of the page. I think the association between the ordinary catfish (namazu) and earthquakes is well-established in the Japanese psyche, so just Namazu also implies the mythical giant catfish and earthquakes too.

On the List of legendary creatures from Japan page there was a single external link after Namazu's name, added after the fact, which seemed more appropriate here. Duende-Poetry (talk) 14:03, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Catfish versus catfish
I think the name of the Japanese giant catfish that supposedly causes earthquakes is Ōnamazu (大鯰) not just namazu (鯰), which is the name for the ordinary (real) catfish. This is corroborated by the Japanese equivalent of this Wikipedia page here: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E9%AF%B0. I guess this means that this article should be renamed.

- Following the example on the French version of this page, I just added Ōnamazu (大鯰) as an alternate name. This might suffice without changing the name of the page. I think the association between the ordinary catfish (namazu) and earthquakes is well-established in the Japanese psyche, so just Namazu also implies the mythical giant catfish and earthquakes too.
