The result of the move request was: consensus to not move ( non-admin closure) Mdaniels5757 ( talk) 21:28, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Japanese raccoon dog → Tanuki – WP:COMMONNAME applies here. Everybody calls this animal a tanuki. Nobody calls it a "Japanese raccoon dog". Google results for the former outweigh the latter by 50 to 1. Serendi pod ous 18:54, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
Should the middle paragraph of the lead section be cut out or modified because it does not directly show up later in the article, nor does it seem that important? Briannabryant2 ( talk) 17:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
Can we include Pokonyan! in the popular culture? Aminabzz ( talk) 18:09, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
'Raccoon Dog' is a poor name, they are not related to raccoons at all. By continuing to refer to them as 'Raccoon Dogs' just makes translators less accurate. 'Tanuki' as a loanword following English grammar rules, similar to 'Ninjas' and 'Samurais', makes 'Tanukis' also legitimate, 94.119.32.8 ( talk) 00:04, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Would the game Little Kitty, Big City be well known enough for the portal inventor Tanuki to be included in the pop culture section? WiKiLOMETERS ( talk) 16:23, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
