Were Yuka Takaoka and Phoenix Luna dating?

edit

This question has been the cause of many edits and reversions on this article so it would be lovely to get to the bottom of it. I found a transcription of the actual court case testimony

──正式に交際していた?

 してないです。


It's all in Japanese so I'm not 100% sure how to interpret this question and answer.


Google Translate says:

──Were you officially dating?

 I do not.


DeepL says:

─ Were you in a formal relationship?

 I was not.


At face value it seems clear they weren't dating but I recall discovering an alternate interpretation a few months ago, cannot remember what it is now. Unless someone can justify otherwise, I suggest laying this to rest and editing the article to say that they were not dating. Cuzlocked (talk) 12:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Quite a number of sources consistently use "boyfriend": "her boyfriend Phoenix Luna", "to stab her boyfriend", "attempted to murder her boyfriend", "plunging a kitchen knife into the stomach of her boyfriend" etc. etc. etc. The changed being attempted on the article over the last many days lack any supporting citations. Per WP:BLP, they will be removed without such citations. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:49, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also, I concur the translation is problematic. Tossing it into Google Translate yields confusing text. Regardless, this is a primary source and needs to be used carefully. I'd like to see a reliable, secondary source that supports them not being romantically involved. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:56, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
