The star is part of the satellite's official name. The unilateral move that removed it was inappropriate and should be reversed. --GW… 08:09, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The section titled "Special characters and formatting" in the Wikipedia:Article titles guidelines says: Do not use non-language characters: Non-language characters such as "♥", as sometimes found in advertisements or logos, should never be used in titles., so I would argue that the original article title with the star symbol was in contravention of the manual of style guidelines, which is why I moved it. --DAJF (talk) 08:47, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some sources have used an asterisk instead of the star. How about using that as a compromise. As I understand it, that is not considered a "non-language character". The star is clearly part of the name. Alternatively, we could use the word "star", which is a suggested alternative per WP:MOSTM, but I think that would be the most common name. --GW… 10:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the satellite's name is actually read as "Negai Star", then that would be a good solution. However, none of the references currently used in the article appear to support this reading (or even the more likely "Negai Boshi"), and the fact that one of the Soka University references in this article and another written by a professor at the university refer to the satellite simply as "Negai" (without the star symbol) suggests to me that the star is indeed purely decorative and therefore best left out of the article title. Re-reading Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), however, does seem to suggest that it would be OK to use the stylized form with the star symbol in the first occurrence in the article lead. Maybe that would be the best solution? --DAJF (talk) 11:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
