I think there's value to this article, and cleanup would be more appropriate. I'm going to remove the proposed deletion tag now; nominate this as an AfD if you think it's beyond repair. --CRGreathouse 00:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I marked it as original research. It was kind of interesting but I don't think an encyclopedia article can be written about what something might or might not be, when nobody really knows anything one way or the other. Redddogg (talk) 04:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

As of this revision was certainly OR, or at the least unreferenced; I’ve rewritten it in this edit as an article simply summarizing the content of the category (which articles are referenced), removing any speculation.

I concur with the above. As they say in Henan: "The tree which brings no lasting shade falls in a great storm." (CawCaw) (talk) 18:28, 12 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.159.9.130 (talk)

Changing article name to Asian wiadom?

There is a pseudo-Japanese proverb going as follows "Viision without action is a day dream, action without vision is a nightmare". I think it suits well with the theme of the article.

Also the article needs to be reformed removing the prose line and adding the cultural context of asians being seen in the west as full of sagacity. Otherwise the content better belongs on Wikiquote. Spannerjam (talk) 10:26, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
