This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
These are Mon, they are not crests. Mon have nothing to do with heraldry, so why are we using an heraldic term? The crest is a very specific part of a complete coat of arms and a mon is not part of it. This category and all the subcategories needs to be re-titled. Kiltpin (talk) 12:09, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Kiltpin, what do you suggest? Category:Mon of Japan or just Category:Mon? --Achim (talk) 13:30, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Both would do, Achim. I don't know (because it is not my subject), whether mon are used anywhere else apart from Japan. If they are not, then Category:Mon of Japan is a bit redundant (rather like a round circle). Kiltpin (talk) 23:04, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Kiltpin, I haven't a clue about mon, maybe Category:Family mon or are mon always things related to families? --Achim (talk) 13:04, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

- @Kiltpin: According to en:Mon (emblem): "Mon, also monshō, mondokoro, and kamon, are Japanese emblems used to decorate and identify an individual or family. While mon is an encompassing term that may refer to any such device, kamon and mondokoro refer specifically to emblems used to identify a family." So maybe Category:Mon (emblem) is the way to go? - Themightyquill (talk) 19:52, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- I can agree with that. Kiltpin (talk) 09:34, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
