It is speculation, you even admitted to this in your previous post. You are arguing the same point and it isn't a compelling argument. That Japanese phonetics "limit how close an approximation can be made" doesn't mean it is Zeldoris. The fact that Hendrickson is a real name and Zeldris isn't doesn't dismiss conventions either. Saying that "Zeldoris" evokes a similarity to "Meliodas" makes Estarossa an outlier (it's arguable that Zeldris mirrors Meliodas better than Estarossa, who resembles his wanted poster and appeared in Elizabeth's dream wearing Mel's armor), and honestly - those names are only marginally similar.

Now, I'm not saying MS isn't right. I don't know if it's Zeldris or Zeldoris. My argument is for consistency and practicality. We won't be changing Dogget to Dogged or Wayeo to Waiiyo unless these names are confirmed. As I said, this wiki is full of RHN's translations going back to 2012. As such we should keep things consistent until a confirmation can be made. This isn't "flimsy" - it's practical and prevents repeated conflicting edits. We don't want every future character name to be contended just because one group's translation is slightly different.
