Talk:Seppuku

I really don't want to sound negative, but my feeling is that this article does not belong here. Afaik, Seppuku/Hara-kiri in the BattleTech universe is no different from its real-world historical form. And it is not an important or special aspect in BattleTech to warrant its own article: The only other noteworthy case besides Yorinaga Kurita seems to be Minobu Tetsuhara (see the article about Wolf's Dragoons). On this premise, the Japanese tea-ceremony as performed by Omi Kurita in one book would also warrant its own article...

As it stands, my suggestion would be to link to regular wikipedia for the seppuku ritual as such, and note the in-universe practice in some suitable article about House Kurita, the Draconis Combine, the DCMS and/or the people in question. Frabby 13:54, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

There's definitely some validity in what you mention. What I did notice was that several articles referenced seppuku directly. The intent was more to provide an overview and then give the link to the main Wiki site. The same goes for Bushido, which has a place in the BTech universe, but is described much more fully in Wiki itself. Bdevoe 13:57, 21 September 2007 (CDT)
