Tag Alias: v-13 -> nu-13

Aliasing v-13 -> nu-13.

Reason: v (LATIN SMALL LETTER V) isn't ν (GREEK SMALL LETTER NU).

I have only heard people in real life call her "nu".

I disagree with this highly, v-13 is pretty much the standard notation for everyone.

Suggested
v-13 -> ν-13
nu-13 -> ν-13

Edit: apparently nu (ν) doesn't show up properly on danbooru.

Definitely nu, not v.

We don't use non-standard characters in tags. Period.

+1 v-13

(a plain old vee standing for the ny, similar to uTorrent instead of µTorrent)

Leave it as v-13.

In either case, the other one should work as well.

Mixed 3-2 opinions so far and something I know absolutely nothing about. Yay!

So Wiki and the English site just use a v (likely for convenience), while the official Japanese site "spells" the name out as ニュー and uses the Greek letter. Of course we can't use the Greek alphabet letter as everyone seems to agree. Tags are basic characters only.

I actually don't know if we have any precedent on this. It's similar to umlauts and cedillas and the like but sorta... different. But close enough I suppose. I'm going to alias nu to v, I think. But only because, from what I understand, 'v' is the more common way it's written out in English, correct? If nu is more popular among Blazblue fans, I'll reverse it.

Precedent: nu_gundam

I think it goes back again to what fans of the series are used to using. Do people usually call that the v_gundam, and we made it nu_gundam anyway? Or are people already used to calling it the nu_gundam?

I guess I was looking more for somewhere where this was discussed and a specific decision made. nu_gundam is precedent, though not one that was ever scrutinized from what I can tell.

Since this is going to be a pretty uncommon situation, I'm basically okay with just going with "what people are used to" in this case.

People call it "Nu Gundam", mostly because there is an actual "V Gundam"

v_gundam also known as the Victory Gundam.

This reminds me, there's also an artist with a Greek letter: aquaμ. It's pronounced "akuamyuu" from what I found - though the Greek letter is apparently "mu". Didn't know whether to suggest "aquamyuu" or "aquamu".

The name is universally written as v-13, as the simplest way of writing it without using the symbol. The only alternate people tend to use is "Nu".

etc, etc.

My friend owns the game, and I could swear I heard the announcer say "Nu 13" at the character select screen. I think that should be the decider.

I'll post back after checking.

edit: The announcer actually just calls her "Nu". Which would make sense, with nu being the 13th letter of the Greek alphabet.

edit: vote changed to nu_(blazblue)

As Seem noted, the character is usually either referred to as either "v-13" or just "Nu". It's pretty rare to see it written out as "nu-13".

Possibility: Use nu_(blazblue) instead. (nu is already taken by the Chrono Trigger thing.)

"v" is way more standard and much easier to search for.

Aliasing would fix that, though.

I prefer v-13 to nu_(blazblue) simply because I dislike unnecessary qualifiers. Either way is fine, though.

Since there was some debate about using nu-13, and because it's unlikely to cause a conflict in the future, I would suggest aliasing it to whatever we decide on. Also, there should be a link in the nu wiki to whichever tag we decide on.

Hmm, there is a distinct lack of a clear winner in this thread so far.

v-13
nu-13
nu_(blazblue)

...all have their supporters. I think I'm leaning nu_(blazblue) now, and aliasing the other two to it. Anyone who has voted for the others have any strenuous objections to that?
