Talk:アムピトリーテー

RFV discussion: May–July 2014
Created by our well-known and prolific creator of garbage Japanese entries, but just plausible enough not to delete on sight.

Although the Japanese Wikipedia uses this name in its article on Amphitrite, I can find only one hit in Google Books and none in Google Groups. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:39, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I should also mention that Japanese Wikipedia spells the asteroid differently, so the second sense is almost definitely wrong. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:41, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I think we could convert アムピトリーテー into an "alternative form" entry linked to アンフィトリテ which is definitely a more commonly used form and is attestable. Japanese Wikipedia uses a transliteration scheme of Ancient Greek that is supposedly more faithful, but it does not necessarily reflect actual uses in Japanese we can observe.

 * The form アムピトリーテー itself does seem to be accepted by some researchers, at least as an alternative form, if not in wider use: (p. 10),  (p. 4) Whym (talk) 15:10, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Converted to alternative form of アンフィトリテ per Whym’s suggestion. Can someone add the citations in his link? — Ungoliant (falai) 00:49, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
