"Elderly" designation[edit]

How is "elderly" defined in this context? Is it a specific year or some more individual definition?

Proposition to Rename[edit]

I propose moving this item to "Koreisha Mark".
The word "Kareha mark (dead leaf mark)" is generally recognized as the "sarcastic way of speaking", and some people feel it discriminatory, too. We can call this "Momiji Mark" (autumn leaf mark) in more decent words, while the official name is "Korei Untensha Hyoshiki" (Aged driver's mark). But similar mark "Shosin Untensha Hyoshiki" (commonly called "Wakaba Mark" -young leaf mark-) is registered as "Shoshinsha mark", so I think it is suitable to be registered as "Koreisha mark" from a balance. --Lumi (talk) 01:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be no opposite opinions, so I'll move this.--Lumi (talk) 19:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but we need to put the official and unofficial names in the article and explain their use. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citations[edit]

Too lazy to figure out the right syntax, but this article is a good citation for the use by fans of nostalgic Japanese cars: http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/blog/2010/03/15/the-evolution-of-the-jnc-sticker/#more-9954 64.81.73.35 (talk) 20:08, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
