Rule 45: Fully loanword names
Do not add the romanization if the entire name is composed of loanwords.
(Applies to all entries)
The romanization of the non-English name should not be added as a primary name or the alias if the entire non-English name is composed of loanwords. Leave the Romanized primary name field empty, while keeping the English primary name filled for the translation.
If an alias is composed of loanwords, the Romanized alias must not be added.
