Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Japan

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Japan. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Japan|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Japan. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

Defunct game studio originally created as a sub-stub, was unable to find any sources in an online and VG magazine search. Fails WP:NCORP. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:46, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saving Grace (Philippine TV series)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Case of WP:TOOSOON. Plenty of casting announcements but no filming. Churnalism and other unreliable sources but show was just announced and is "planned to air" in 2025. CNMall41 (talk) 15:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and Philippines. CNMall41 (talk) 15:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The show already commence filming we will update the production details for reference. Also the announcement for 2025 airing is based on the network's statement however, exact date has not been discussed Tyamutz (talk) 15:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mother_(Japanese_TV_series)#International remakes: given existing coverage and cast, opposed to deletion. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 23:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 23:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and redirect to Mother_(Japanese_TV_series)#International remakes. There's not enough sources for this article. However, the draft I created that is not ready for submission, I can work on editing it, and it will take as many time as possible to get new reliable sources related to the upcoming TV show that will be put as a reference. JRGuevarra (talk) 04:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or maybe redirect to the main article. The six ABS-CBN sources can't be used to show notability, obviously, and neither can the Facebook link to the production company. That leaves us with four potentially okay sources- which are all just routine casting announcements, regurgitating the press release. Much too soon.

Does not seem to pass GNG or even SNG. His work may be notable, he is not. Slatersteven (talk) 13:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are clearly just making excuses to suppress information that is currently damaging to a particular cause. This is just censorship, nothing more, and you haven't even put much effort into your justification for it. He is at the center of an international media controversy, that alone clearly makes him newsworthy. If you're going to just be a fascist, at least put some more effort into your BS. This was just lazy. 2603:8080:F500:ACD8:A458:E5C6:593A:5FB2 (talk) 15:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How about a compromise? How about we keep it but revise it to mention the fact that he lied about Yasuke? Xaxton Revolution (talk) 17:03, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually should have CSD'd as its been deleted before. Slatersteven (talk) 13:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first deletion seems to have happened 6 years ago, back when his Yasuke book was yet to reach the other side of the pond. He and his work have since become much more notable since then, for better or worse. It's better we keep this page for that reason alone. --Jnglmpera (talk) 13:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is significant coverage and reviews of African Samurai: The True Story of Yasuke including in the Washington Post, The Houston Chronicle, Library Journal, Booklist, and a large number of other places. Author meets the notability guidelines at WP:Author.--SouthernNights (talk) 14:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, United Kingdom, and England. Shellwood (talk) 17:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. Thibaut (talk) 18:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:Author as explained by SouthernNights. His work is notable, and his authorship of one of his works has been widely recognized - this is enough to establish notability. Qflib (talk) 13:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keiichi Misawa

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not meet WP:SPORTSCRIT, Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Previously deleted by PROD. C 679 03:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, and Japan. C 679 03:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. C 679 03:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A "small" HTML tag was left unclosed. This has been fixed. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 04:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 18:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 19:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not enough accomplishments or sources for an encyclopedic article. Geschichte (talk) 07:57, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hayate Usui

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this article about a martial artist, and added two references, though one is a passing mention. I do not think Usui meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:NMMA. Tacyarg (talk) 08:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Martial arts and Japan. Tacyarg (talk) 08:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. Lekkha Moun (talk) 16:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails to meet WP:NMMA and I didn't find the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG. Fight results and databases are not enough to show WP notability. Papaursa (talk) 02:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NMMA. Highest Rank: #60 acc. to FightMatrix [1]. Vorann Gencov (talk) 07:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletions

Comment on the talk pages of the articles, not here. If you agree with the proposed deletion, you don't have to do anything. If you think the article merits keeping, then remove the {{prod}} template and make an effort to improve the article so that it clearly meets the notability and verifiability criteria.
