It is not appropriate for a fan nickname to be in the very first sentence of an article for a major games company. The company has never gone by "Rareware"; their name has always been 'Rare' with their legal name having always been 'Rare Limited' (often shortened to 'Rare Ltd.'). They have had many different trade names for various endeavors such as 'Rare Coin-It Toys and Games Inc.', 'Rare Coin-It', and 'Rare Coin Games, Inc.', but they have never used 'Rareware' as a trade name even once. Yes, many people in the 1990s erroneously called them "Rareware" due to the Rareware emblem appearing on their games from 1994 to 2003 ("Rareware" literally meaning "Rare+software" or "software by Rare"), but they have never operated under this name and it is not appropriate for a fan name to be in the first sentence of the article. There is a perfect place for this to be mentioned in the section titled 'Partnership with Nintendo (1994–2002)'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RdCrestdBreegull ( talk • contribs) 03:00, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
I fully agree that "Rareware" is not a proper name for Rare, but it is going to be a search term for the company and per WP's approach on redirects/search term, we should try to identify why people searching on "Rareware" are ending up here. My suggesting is to delegate the Rareware colloqual name to a footname. -- Masem ( t) 04:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
British is an identity, not a nationality. British is such a vague term, an unhelpful one too. You don't call Alexander Graham Bell as "British born", you rightfully recognise things as Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish so why do the rules change here?
