[edit]Although the word was deleted and redirected to Tycoon entry (without the 5-day waiting period), I don't believe this is called for.
1)The word is notable as one of only a handful of Japanese words not specifically related to Japanese culture to have entered the Japanese language. 2) The fact that the word is no longer used in Japanese is not relevant; the entry specifically states that the word is archaic. It is not intended as a dictionary definition but as a word of interest to speakers of the English language. 3) Redirecting to "mogul" entry serves no purpose; no one would ever look for information on tycoon by searching "taikun." --JSLR 02:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Why Taikun?
[edit]"As Shogun, he certainly could not call himself Emperor..." So why not just "Shogun"? The word was no more obscure to foreign states than "taikun", surely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.108.140 (talk) 01:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Two issues with this article:
Is it an article in its own right, or could we merge it with shogun?
Surely "tycoon" is the normal spelling in English, first time I have come across this spelling. PatGallacher (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
