:Romaji is intended to give people who cannot read Japanese characters an "imperfect" way to read Japanese. I say "imperfect" because in order to pronounce Romaji correctly, one needs to be familiar with Japanese phonology. However, those who are familiar with Japanese phonology are most likely able to read kana as well. What's left seems like a very, very small niche.
:For the examples above, they all already have official "English" names, so no English speaker is left wondering how to read their names. Furthermore, sometimes the Japanese transliteration of their names is off by a significant amount. For example, Hakos Baelz is transliterated as ハコス・ベールズ (''Hakosu Bēruzu''), but her name should be pronounced /bɛlz 'heɪkɔs/. If anything, the IPA pronunciation should be what's given to as to not confuse people.

== Consolidating the Branches pages a single Agency page (proposal) ==
Just as the title says. At the moment all the page for the various branches are just kind of sparse, making the whole thing felt unnecessarily fragmented. Not to mentioned we missing both articles for Hololive the Agency (which just redirect to the HoloPro) and Holostars (which is being used for StarsJP).
The idea create a page for each agency and have the existing links redirect to section of that page instead (ex: HoloEN -> Hololive#Hololive English). [[User:Feking83|Feking83]] ([[User talk:Feking83|talk]]) 14:43, 5 April 2024 (JST)
