I think the tag name should be used for images that feature the name of the character(s) depicted (like post #943867 and post #942531) , but the current name tag refers to an artist.

Anyone else in favor of changing name to name_(artist)?

I'd be in favor of moving the artist regardless of what we do with the base tag (though your suggestion makes sense).

General English nouns should be used for their general concepts or otherwise reserved rather than given to characters, copyrights, and artists. To do otherwise is to invite confusion and tag pollution when others fail to realize the general word's special status here.

'_(artist)' tags are verboten, so name can be moved to name_(nanopa) after his site name. (Despite his wiki, I see no evidence that he's using the name ゾンビっち now.)

character_name would be less ambiguous. name could just as easily apply to images that feature the name of the artist.

Would there be a corresponding tag for when the copyright title is shown on the image?

So name becomes ambiguous; blessed tags are character_name, artist_name(some overlap with signature), and series_name?

That sounds better. Yes.

I went ahead and changed the tags and the wiki.

Does post #1071091 count for character_name.
The 3 numbers 514 = Go I Shi -> Koishi

What I see is numbers, not name.

I mean that everyone who is Japanese or knows the language sees a name there. You might not see a name in こいし either and just weird symbols.

Just because you don't know it's a name written in Japanese doesn't make it any less of a name.

For post #1071091, you could try the pun tag.

And for series_name, we already have title_drop.

Pardon me, I just tag what I see first.
Yes, it's a name pun.

So, would these tags be implicated to text?

For the text tag, text must be a major part of the image, so I'm against an implication.
