Leo Ornstein

As far as I'm aware there is no real evidence that Ornstein is based on/named after the composer Leo Ornstein, only speculation. Unless someone can provide a secondary/primary source for this claim, I would propose to change the "Development" section to reflect this. Gurimu (talk) 22:06, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source is already linked in the article, here._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 00:31, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have made this clearer. I am questioning the reliability of the linked article. As far as I am aware, there is no interview with the producers, nor an in-game comment, nor a hint in the gamefiles, nor something similar, connecting 'Ornstein' to 'Leo Ornstein'. Afaik this connection is a fan theory, although a convincing one, but a theory none the less. But some websites have started to cite this theory as a fact.

- As far as I'm concerned, there doesn't need to be such hand wringing over a minor piece of trivia that has a heavy probability of being true. Sure, Miyazaki might come out one day and say "well actually, Ornstein was a name I randomly found on the Internet and the Leo Ring was just a coincidence", and on that day the reference can be removed having been proved inaccurate. But, currently, it's research from a reliable source, even if it has a chance to be false._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 07:15, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I proposed a change to the article, which keeps the connection to Leo Ornstein. Gurimu (talk) 17:28, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
