In Japanese, the emperor is called Tennō, with a double "n". But spelling it with a third "n" is an implausible typo in my opinion. CycloneYoris talk! 22:23, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leave it as it is per WP:POFR "Likely misspellings". There are several cases in Google search, even in Wikimedia Commons: File:Koan-tennno-sha, haiden.jpg, File:The 138th tennno sho.jpg.―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 23:21, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Phoenix7777. Stats indicate that it is used, so not implausible. Thryduulf (talk) 00:19, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (without any enthusiasm): This is a standard error: Japanese Roman-input systems designed in Japan map 'nn' to ん ("syllabic n"), which prevents them from accepting any standard romanisation. So it is very common to encounter triple-n where the writer confused Roman input with standard Romanisation. It is also common to encounter double vowels ignored.

  • Delete: I created it and the logic was similar to Imaginatorium, but that doesn’t really work. You type “tenn” for the てん of heaven and then “ou” for the おう for king. That’s two n, not three. ospalh (talk) 11:19, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Um, no, to quote from ja:WP, Meiji is 明治天皇(めいじてんのう). That's an ん plus の. Imaginatorium (talk) 14:40, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. I guess i slept in that Japanese lesson after all. So, Delete → i don’t care. ospalh (talk) 16:41, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In modern standard Japanese 天皇 is almost never read てんおう, but even if this were not the case, that would be an argument for keeping Teno, not for deleting Tennno. Hijiri 88 (やや) 08:08, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is the kind of mixed romanization style one often sees in Japan, in this case half "keyboard input" style (wherein syllabic n is written "nn") and Hepburn with the long vowel unmarked. Hijiri 88 (やや) 08:03, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See also [1] and [2]. Hijiri 88 (やや) 08:11, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RCAPS: no evidence of common usage of the all-caps name. UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:20, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • This was the original title of the article, but it was only here for an hour in 2010. Thryduulf (talk) 08:48, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Not a "likely alternative capitalization". PC78 (talk) 19:04, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - this would stick out like a sore thumb in search results, and the target page (having a similar and shorter shorter title) is likely to show up anyway. –Sonicwave talk 17:57, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
