Why is the Mexican saint Felipe de Jesus listed here with an English equivalent of his name? This is very strange. Other Mexican saints like Juan Diego are not given translated names. I think it should be kept in the orignial Spanish.
Also, I believe he needs his own webpage. There is a
sole page dedicated to him on the Spanish wiki, but not here.
Originally, Felipe de Jesus did have his own article, but it was merged into this article becuase 1) he is one of the martyrs of Japan and 2) his article reproduced much of the same information already found here. The same was done with all the martyrs of Japan who had thier own article. If you would like to see a sole page dedicated to Felipe de Jesus, you could always either expound on the information already present here or you could translate the article on the Spanish Wiki (again, provided it gives significantly more information than could be contained here). As for rendering his name in the original Spanish, my only advice is to be bold and do so. I certainly have not objection to it. jackturner312:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)reply
The name of the saint Paulo Miki is originally Portuguese. The rendering for it in Japanese is the equivalent for the Portuguese name, ´PAURO´. So, there´s no reason for the name to be written here in English. The same applies to many names of the list. Emerson —Preceding

Forgive me, but why would they have been crucified? Wasn't that a Roman punishment, not a Japanese one?. The only reason I could believe the Japanese would have crucified them is if they wanted them to die in a sort of ironic way.

Yes. This is well-attested. The Japanese authorities realized that crucifixion was a slow and painful death. If you want to call that
irony, that's your characterization.

I know some people like redlinks because it indicates articles that need to be written. In this case, though, almost all the articles about the martyrs were redirected back here or dead-ended because of little information. Would anyone mind if I removed the redlinks and the ones that redirect back to this article? --

Nope, go for it; those missing articles are, for the most part, unlikely to ever materialize. a surfeit of redlinks is just a distraction.

I tend to agree, the article seems to stray away from
WP:NPOV, by using the term "martyr" over and over. I understand that "26 martyrs of Japan" is the common name for this group and have no argument with that, but saying "On February 5, 1597, they were crucified, impaled with lances, and martyred on a hill that overlooks Nagasaki city" and "there were about 70 sporadic instances of martyrdom until 1614" and "Fifty-five Catholics were martyred in Nagasaki on September 10, 1622" it feels like the article is taking the church's position.
