Talk:Raizeel

I think that this Raizeel highly seems to be a misnomer, a little mistake of the Tokyopop's translator. In the original novel Xelloss seems to be talking about Lyzeille: 実はライゼーリの方で (jitsuha raizēri no hou de), "on the road to Lyzeille" (pag. 86). Of course, raizēri could be romanized as Raizeel, but those are already known to be the kanas of Lyzeille, and at least up to now, Kanzaka has never used the same kanas for different places. --shansito 18:12, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay. If "Lyzeille" is the standard spelling used elsewhere on this wiki, the page should be changed to that name. --Oyashiro08 23:37, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's not exactly what I was trying to say. I mean, the TokyoPop translator took that raizēru of the original novel and, without any more information, said it was a city, while the original doesn't say that. The thing is that raizēru, as Lyzeille, is the name of a whole Empire (for example, both the cities of Sairag and Atlas are inside its borders), not just a city. --shansito 15:27, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand. It should be easy enough to edit the first lines to bring them in line with the other articles on Slayers countries; "Raizeel is a small town located in Kalmaart" --> "The Empire of Lyzeille is a country located in the western area of the mazoku barrier. It borders..." and so on. --Oyashiro08 01:24, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * That would not do much good. This article is clearly about the town where Xelloss and Zelgadiss meet in the novels. Converting it to an article about the country would be out of scope and unnecessary. This is not the first time we have an article about something which does not have a name :), so in my opinion we should simply rename it. We can keep the redirect, and I will add an explanation detailing the translation error. --Pip25 07:44, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * On second thought, renaming here seems kind of pointless. What do you think of the current version? --Pip25 07:57, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, this looks good. --Oyashiro08 20:27, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
