EN->JP names policy

I'm a bit curious about romanizations of English-like names.

An example would be Maka Albarn from soul eater who is currently tagged as maka_arubaan. Or Yoko Littner tagged as yoko_ritona.

Generally, ANN's Encyclopedia is the authority for non-Japanese names. Unless there's a good argument otherwise.

Vote: Remove the EN->JP alias for the Pokemon creatures. Use the English names.
Vote: Remove the EN->JP alias for Castlevania. Use the English name.

As an aside, would it be okay to bring up old, already approved aliases for voting? I don't think biohazard -> resident_evil got any discussion and judging by this thread it seems most people would want it reversed.

If you think the Biohazard alias is wrong please create a new thread.

The Pokemon aliases and most of the akumajo aliases have been reverted.
