Wikipedia has an article whose name is a mistake, but people claim that the article must be named that anyway because our rules say that we must use the most widely used English name, and the mistake is used more frequently than the correct name. (This happened because the mistake was made by a big English-language publisher, so a lot of people picked it up.)
The rule in question is rule 8 in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(Japan-related_articl...
If you look at it, it seems meant for cases where the English name is a loanword or was written in a strange way on purpose, not for mistakes. I think it's ludicrous to interpret it to mean that if a mistake is used 51% of the time, Wikipedia must perpetuate it.
This has been spearheaded by a single user, who has pushed for the name since 2004.

Is there anything whatsoever I can do about this?
