2007 Ingredients scandal section deleted. Why?

edit

On 13-OCT-2012, User:121.97.142.231 blanked the entire section about the 2007 ingredients scandal. No rationale for this removal was ever given, and as the edit was made from an anonymous IP account, I find the removal suspicious. I am reinstating the section, until rationale for the removal is given. Kevyn (talk) 19:10, 6 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Rename?

edit

It seems like Fujiya Co. might need to be renamed to simply Fujiya (which currently is a redirect) or Fujiya (Japanese company) if disambiguation is needed. I don't believe the "Co." is part of the official Japanese name of the company as since it basically just means 株式会社 (Kabushikigaisha). I think the use of "Co." on the company's official website is just a literal translation of 株式会社 that many Japanese companies also do on their websites and isn't really the part of the common name of the company. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Well, not exactly. The normal "Japanese-English" for 株式会社 is usually "Co., Ltd." or often "Co.,Ltd"; there is often no space, but always the incongruous ".," sequence. Many English-English company names (at least in the pre-Plc era, end(ed) with "...Company, Limited", where the "Company" really is part of the name - "Smith and Company" - and the "Limited" is the indication of a limited liability corporation. So yes, "Fujiya Co." is anomalous. On their website they refer to themselves both as "Fujiya" and mention "Company name: FUJIYA CO., LTD." - I think that just "Fujiya" is more plausible for use in English (it's not, of course, actually English, any more than "Cote d'Ivoire" is English, even if many non-speakers of English think it might be. Anyway, yes, moving to "Fujiya" is probably a good idea. Imaginatorium (talk) 06:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I've boldly moved the article to Fujiya. We generally don't include "Inc" and the like in article titles, even if the company uses them on everything. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:09, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
