Shigeto KOYAMA has an name for Shigeto instead of Sighet.
Could you change it to Sighet KOYAMA instead.

Do you have proof of this? Any evidence? I've never heard of any Japanese name of "Sighet," and it's not really even possible to write like that in kana, so unless it's his personal preference in spelling his name (similar to Asuca instead of Asuka, that I've seen used a few times), I don't see how it's possible.

It could be an unusual personal romanization like Range Murata (Renji Murata) and Oh! great (Ito Oogure).

However, given that the blog link (archived) we have for him clearly says KOYAMA SHIGETO, as does the current version of the same site and his Twitter page... I'm definitely leaning on the "no" unless there's someone else with the same name. I'd be leaning on no anyway since ideally I'd like all names in the encyclopedia to be romanised the same way.
