Name
Should we rename this into Gorumondo? I know there have been supports here, but not too much to move the page. --

- I also feel that Mini Iga should have the same treatment, given that its internal filename is romanized. --

- The romanization would suggest that Minīga is one word, not two, which is what the filename suggests. Anyway, I support renaming on the grounds of source priority exception (ie. Garigari is already the name for Grinder). If there's no objections, let's do that. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:02, 3 March 2019 (EST)
