In the manga he is called God Zamas not Fused Zamasu

We have one: Fusion Zamasu (Chou)

That's a pretty weird double standard, since we have Frieza and Tien Shinha when those aren't their official Japanese names.

Also, Toei Animation calls him Zamas: http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/dragon_s/assets/img/chara/zamas/img01.png

Okay. In that case we need to rename the profiles for all incarnation of the character, and update lots of links to the pages as well.
Unfortunately, I am too overworked to handle it on my own. Perhaps you can ask a few content moderators to comment here?

Can you ask a few staff members listed in the Dragon Ball verse page to comment here, so I do not decide this on my own?

I disagree with renaming him Zamas. His name literally translates to Zamasu and is used in the official subs as well as the dubs. It is his most common name by which he is known. It's only pronounced as Zamas in japanese language.

His manga name is Zamas so I agree with the OP.
Edit - Yeah the word Zamasu is never uttered for the manga variant, only Zamas. Even the DB wiki makes the distinction between anime and manga version in terms of name.

@AKM Sama. I literally linked Toei Animation called him Zamas.

I don't care, frankly.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Zamasu is the universally recognized name so I say we keep that.

Universally recognized is a strectch considering I linked Toei themselves writting his name as Zamas, which means that spelling also has basis on the anime.GojiBoyForever said:

Still most people know him as Zamasu.

If his offical manga name is Zamas then it should be Zamas. What people that watch the anime call him shouldn't matter. Zamas is the offical name of the manga version.
- 15,918

I don't know what we're talking about as if the character had a different name on the anime and manga. Both the anime and manga version of the character are named ÒéÂÒâ×Òé╣, and Toei say that is spelled as Zamas, which is a correct translation of the given kana.
- 5,336

But it should by the name most people call them though.
It is preferable that the profile pages are named what the characters they represent are commonly referred as.

Well, if I update the names for all the Zamasu pages to Zamas, a lot of Dragon Ball profiles likely need to have their links updated as well, and they are largely locked.
Is somebody willing to ask some content moderators to help us out here?

That's pretty contradictory, given we have pages like Protagonist (Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor), Archfiend Pam, Lisesharte Atismata, and many others that aren't named by what they are commonly called.GojiBoyForever said:

His name has always been Zamas. Is there any way to make God Zamas appear when someone searches for "Fusion Zamasu"? That could solve the name popularity issue.
- 5,336

I think so. When I search for Lord English Caliborn pops up.
- 15,918

Yes, he has always been Zamas.ArgosaxDespair said:
We could use the correct spelling for the profiles and use the dub names as redirections. That way people who only know the characters by their dub name can just type that while the correct spelling will appear on the bar.

Are we really about to rename all the DB profiles?
- 5,336

This all seems more than a tad bit unnecessary as the name follows our rules.

Again, popular =/= correct. And even then, there's those examples I gave, and I could look for many more.Ionliosite said:

Ok, I'm just going to drop the subject since it's clear the Dragon Ball supporters will keep using that double standard of using the dub names while also saying the dub can't be used for scaling.
Just rename the Manga Zamas page to "God Zamasu" and end with this hypocrecy. Unfollowing.
