This is a bit of a minor error, but the artist (#125804) lists their name as "Aka Ringo", and not as one single name:

While the novel does not have an official romanization within the copyright notice, the manga adaptation has:
Personally I'm more concerned with the spelling of the novelist...... |

I added this person and I remember entering it based on one or more source(s), then finding others that conflicted afterwards.
--edit-- I was probably going by the anime site itself for both, which has the following in the source as alt-text for the copyright footer: ©2014 Kazuma Ootorino・Akaringo |

In that case, I guess it might be appropriate to still keep "Akaringo", at least as an alternate spelling, a la other individuals (ironically, I just came across that spelling on an official wallpaper for the Nanana novels prior to checking back on this thread). I just tend to abide by whatever spelling the person themselves prefer to go under (as out there some can get…).
On a related note, why isn't there an option for including things such as alternate spellings or alias? Too much of a slippery slope or recipe for abuse/misuse? Or would that also do a number on the way the encyclopedia's database is set up? |

People don't always write their own name consistently so it didn't seem like it was worth at this point removing and re-adding the name (which would have resulted in a "blank" Akaringo entry and required edits to news articles etc.)
I've asked for more flexibility with regards to multiple names and ways of writing names, hopefully something is in the works for the next version of the encyclopedia. |
