Name correction[edit]

I'm moving the page per request - it looks like while there are some sources that refer to this person as "Raichō Hiratsuka", most academic sources use the traditional Japanese style. (See this, this, this, and this.) ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:42, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ReaderofthePack: As I've stated in Talk:Ichikawa Fusae, it is indeed common for certain academic sources to prefer Japanese order, especially in Asian studies, where the academia strongly prefers Asian order. I haven't looked at the literature about Hiratsuka much so I'll have to see what the popular press said about her or if there's any publishing in English. Academic sources from other fields, especially not related to Japan, may use Western order.

As in the other discussion I honestly do prefer using Western order in cases where the popular media used western order for that person as Wikipedia's supposed to be a general encyclopedia for the wider public rather than catering to Asian studies academia per se. However I'm happy to debate it in cases where a subject fell out of attention of the popular media and where now only academia pays attention to him/her/them.

WhisperToMe (talk) 15:46, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For example the Japan Times uses Western order while the book it's reviewing uses Japanese order https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2007/06/17/books/first-woman-was-the-sun-then-there-came-man/

Interestingly the Asian-American Writers' Workshop uses western order too: https://aaww.org/raicho-hiratsuka-beginning-woman-sun/

It's important to consider which sources use which order and why.
