Oppose. Yeah, there's some confusion here about terminology. Basically, there are two kinds of Saiō/Itsuki no miko, the Ise Saiō (also called Saigū, or as Wikipedia seems to prefer Saikū) and Kamo Saiō (also called Sai'in). Because the Ise Saiō was more popular, the general term "Saiō" was often used to refer to her. Keep this category (or rename Saigū) and place it in parent category Category:Saiō. - Invokingvajras ( talk) 02:51, 10 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Interesting! Do you think that adding some of this explanation to the category would help clear up the confusion? Mason ( talk) 04:54, 10 November 2023 (UTC) reply

• @ Invokingvajras: as Wikipedia seems to prefer is an odd phrase, Wikipedia does not have any preferences by itself. What are they mostly called in reliable sources? Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:09, 10 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  The most common rendering of the word is "Saikū". The majority of Japanese-language sources I've consulted pronounce it this way, as does the Saiku Historical Museum. I think it would be ideal to move the current page to either "Saikū" or "Ise Saiō" and eventually create a page detailing the general concept of "Saiō" like the Japanese entry. - Invokingvajras ( talk) 05:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply
