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

Manji (film)

This "article" is not about any specific film, but about 5 Japanese films that share same name. This isn't how we write articles here. I've tried to convert it to a dab page, but that was reverted. As it stands, this is just a random collection of words. Gonnym (talk) 09:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason this shouldn't be merged to Quicksand (Tanizaki novel)#Adaptations, at least until the independent notability of individual adaptations can be shown. It's not a random collection, since all of the films discussed here are based on the same work. Dekimasuよ! 09:59, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Quicksand (Tanizaki novel)#Adaptations. The dab page created was a dab page with only circular links back to itself. But merging this information to the novel page, and then turning this into a redirect would be the best option.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:14, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The issue can be resolved through editing and does not need an AFd. The corresponding Jp article is a disamb (this can be one or even a WP:SETINDEX). The corresponding French/Italian/Korean articles are about the 1964 film, a notable film. No reason to delete. And no, the page is not a "random collection of words". -Mushy Yank. 13:21, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: As a Yasuzō Masumura film, there is no reason for not having an article for the 1964 adaptation of the novel. Because it's a Japanese film released over 60 years ago (and a niche film), it isn't simple and easy to find sources about it, but there are some: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 8, 9, 10.

Confucian fascism

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

Article is mostly WP:SYNTH it was originally built around two sources - a single-sentence mention in a textbook: "A second major effort of the Blue Shirts involved Chiang's New Life Movement, a campaign that began in 1934 in order to spread the fascist spirit and challenge the antitraditionalism of the May Fourth period," and a single paper Frederic Wakeman wrote in the 1990s and that was significantly misinterpreted by the article since Wakeman is ambivalent about whether the New Life Movement was in fact fascist, noting that the "fascism" accusations mostly arose from missionaries, that the nationalism of the Blue Shirts was not dissimilar to Maoist revivalist nationalism and to prior nationalist movements in China and that Chiang was known not to want to associate his movements with European fascism. Neither of these two sources mention Japan at all which makes the inclusion of the third source (only three were used by the article) entirely synthetic qua the other two. A single sentence in a single textbook and a failure to properly read a second source are insufficient grounds for an article. Simonm223 (talk) 13:27, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: the Wakeman source makes mention to the Japanese occupation of parts of China in the context of motivations for Chinese nationalism but makes no connections between Japanese nationalist movements and Chinese nationalist movements. Simonm223 (talk) 13:30, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kiri Paramore, ed. (2016). Japanese Confucianism. Cambridge University Press. p. 186: Epilogue China and Japan earlier late-nineteenth-century disestablishment of Confucianism and divorce from other social practices in the immediate post-Meiji Restoration period made it easy prey for later cooption by the powerful modern ideological forces of racial nationalism, radical conservatism, and later fascism that arose from within that cultural nationalist movement. The reason Confucianism was easily harnessed to these causes was not primarily related to any particular content in Confucian thought. It was rather because Confucianism's social disengagement allowed it to be easily monopolized by those in authority, thereby quashing Confucianism's capacities to promote diversity, critical thought, and critical activism. This despite the fact that, as the central chapters of this book argued, these capacities existed and were powerfully realized in many earlier historical manifestations of Confucianism.
Mainland China today is experiencing similar problems of industrial high modernity to Japan in the mid-twentieth century, including extreme wealth disparity, environmental degradation, and unequal development. As in Japan, the early phases of Chinese modernization, both under the KMT and the CCP, saw the destruction of most institutional nodes for the social integration of Confucianism. Just as in Japan, China in the modern period also saw Confucianism, its spaces and its practices, deci- mated (Yu 2004: 55). The Confucian revival in China today is thus occurring in a similar socio-political climate and in similar circumstances of Confucian social and institutional disconnection as Japan in the mid- twentieth century. Current attempts to resurrect Confucianism in China as a social movement need to start from scratch because most of the social frameworks which formerly supported Confucian activity were destroyed during modernization. As scholarship on this kind of revival in contem- porary China indicates, resurrecting a tradition from scratch requires a particularly heavy subordination to the state and other institutions of power (Billioud 2015). As discussed in Chapter 6, it was revival under exactly these kinds of conditions which facilitated the rise of Confucian fascism in 1930s Japan. ProKMT (talk) 00:52, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. The reason I created a Confucian fascism article was because a certain Mickie-Mickie attempted to tie Chiangism, White Terror (Taiwan), Blue Shirts Society, the New Life Movement articles to the fascist category, [7][8][9][10] and I opposed such an attempt. I made the article as a compromise. However, I am not against deleting the article. ProKMT (talk) 00:57, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as original research. Creating a page as a "compromise" with unacceptable editing is not an acceptable justification or proof of notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:12, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm not seeing evidence of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. As far as I can see, of the three sources cited in the article, the only one that discusses the idea of Confucian fascism is the Wakeman article, which seems to have coined it as a provocative and snappy phrase, not an established concept or analysis. The source seems to use the term "Confucian fascism" only twice, both times in quotation marks:
The title of this article deliberately (and perhaps too provocatively) uses the term "Confucian fascism" to invoke the remarkable blend of Chinese and Western components that went into the founding of the Blue Shirts and that made this movement something other than either traditional personalism or modern fascism.

Were the missionaries right? Was Chiang's regime, after all, a fascist form of government, in intent if not in fact? In truth, "Confucian fascism" remained iconically ambiguous.

This is not enough coverage to meet WP:GNG or to write a verifiable Wikipedia article. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 23:05, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Okay, please bear in mind that I only took Japanese for a couple years and it's been a while, and nor do I get a lot of nuances. 長大, when read as ながだい / nagadai, is actually an abbreviation for Nagano University and Nagaoka University. [11]2 . However, 長大 is apparently read as choudai when referring to Nagasaki University. So neither of the deletion arguments works right now.

Keep If the term is one which may be searched for, then the disambiguation page is a good one. Same rationale for Hirodai. Such pages conform to WP:DISAMBIG because "for [the] word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing English Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead."
The foreign language argument is a red herring. For example, we disambiguate Jiaoda and Beida as Jiaotong and Peking Universities. Slightly less straightfoward example is how we disambiguate Shida to various Chinese universities (and other topics). Oblivy (talk) 05:34, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I acknowledge that below, with respect to whether the target article has to include the search term.

九工大　(valid abbreviation in kanji [12]) is read as　ききゅうこうだい / kyuukoudai not "kyukodai" so that's horribly mistitled. Delete as an obvious error. Sorry, closer, that's the last clear vote you're getting from me.
広大/ひろだい/hirodai is used to refer to Hiroshima University and Hirosaki[13][14][15][16][17][18][19] in several English academic journals, websites, and books but the primary topic is doubtlessly the monotypic genus of parasites named for Hiroshima University.[20][21]. Given the fact that this one actually is apparently used in English, keep? But the genus is the primary topic, undoubtedly, so keep and retitle to encourage creation? Or maybe delete, then when the next UPE gaming AP makes the genus page, add a hatnote? Or temporarily redirect to Hiroshima, because my sources seem to indicate that's the primary topic of the two(at least in English, probably in Japanese too) and add a hatnote to it instead? and then replace
Fukudai is actually a dab page at jaWiki under a kanji ja:福大, and two of the universities seems to actually use it in their English-language publishing [22][23] but also it has made its way over to English language publications as a fairly common species name, [24][25][26][27][28][29] presumably after one of the universities? (Anybody feel like finding some 1960s and 1970s Japanese entomology journals and finding out?) Also, it's mentioned (unsourced) at University of Fukui and Fukushima University. If a redirect was made from Fukudai to either of those, it would end up at RfD and the result would likely be disambiguate. So it's not unreasonable that somebody will be searching for the word "fukudai" in English, but at the same time, we can't list any of the species names.. but to make it even more complicated, I actually know the word Fukudai as a series of maths problems and methods for calculating determinants[30] pg 136, so it would probably be a valid redirect if we had an article on that method, which we should because it appears to pass the GNG in modern English-language sources, never mind earlier ones, but also it appears to be much more a partial match and therefore I give up and I regret doing a BEFORE because I am loosing my mind trying, and unfortunately succeeding in finding ways these might be useful. I'm probably going to end up with Oblivy on these. Also, RfDing any of these (except for the mistake and Nagadai bc I can't find that used in English in this context, and, believe me, I've looked) would doubtless result in a result to disambiguate.
To the closer: I am sorry. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 08:00, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any evidence at all that these strings are related to short forms of university names. Is it not vastly more likely for example that "Hirodai" is pseudo-Latin for a person called Hiroda? And fukudai (副題) is an ordinary word meaning "subtopic". Imaginatorium (talk) 19:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, we're not a Japanese dictionary, so whether or not these are oridinary Japanese words or commonly used in Japanese isn't actually going to be a deciding factor. I'm looking for evidence that these words are used in English to refer to other the universities, or other topics. I've found that evidence for Fukudai, Hirodai, and Hokudai. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:22, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after finding this on googling "Fukudai" and this at "Aidai". Both seem enough to justify a redirect, and if there are multiple potential redirects from the same term then we need a dab page. I haven't checked all the others, but having found two out of two suggests that these are probably all valid dab pages. PamD 09:44, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also Hirodai here and here: both being used on English-language sites of the university itself. These aren't "non-notable nicknames" but are short forms used by the respective universities. These dab pages should be kept. PamD 09:51, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not appropriate or needed for English-language Wikipedia. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 10:46, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in most cases. I wouldn't agree that these are unlikely search terms in English. These abbreviations for universities show up fairly regularly in English translations of Japanese fiction - there are an awful lot of manga, anime and light novel stories set in high schools, so it's common for characters to talk about or visit universities. I'd go with Delete if there's no evidence that the abbreviation is correct (e.g. I'm not sure about one of the targets for Kyukodai as above), but otherwise it seems reasonable to have them as redirects or disambigs. Adam Sampson (talk) 13:12, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The question (obviously) is: what are these redirects for? How will they be used? And a valid answer would be that in some cases a reader has come across the contracted name of a Japanese university and wants to know about it. That is the plus; what is the minus? Well, when the reader comes across, perhaps "Tōdai", it is a romanisation of 東大, the short form of 東京大学. But a real dictionary (大辞林) lists five words with the reading 'tōdai', the first and most obvious being lighthouse (灯台), and including 東大 as the last. And of course, this is likely to get mangled as todai, some sort of mediaeval tax on paddyfields. So it gives a totally wrong impression that anything in Japanese that ended up as the string "todai" (more or less) refers to a university. See my comment above on the supposed insect names etc above. It also seems odd to start talking about reading fiction: if a novel translated from Polish talks about a "Reading University", how likely is it that this is actually distinguished from a "Writing University". Fundamentally Japanese has so many homophones that this sort of redirect is not reliable. The short forms are used very commonly, but only in appropriate context. Imaginatorium (talk) 19:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
supposed insect names I take issue with "supposed" here, as it implies I made them up. I found scientific papers about these insects under those names. They have been used. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course the insect names are correct, but they fairly obviously have nothing to do with the contractions used for university names. What is your evidence of "Fukudai" being used in English to refer to the university? Imaginatorium (talk) 03:48, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, did you get access to the old Japanese entomology journals then? I'm assuming the insects were most likely named after people called Fukudai (Like V. fukudai is) or after one of the universities. But, if you found the answer to then I suppose we'd better move on to that evidence you requested. Here you go! [31][32][33] GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 10:41, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Its the equivalent of an acronym in English - it’s basically… ok, so imagine that there were several universities which all used the acronym UCLA. UCLA is not the actual name of any of them, it’s the acronym, but anyone searching for one of them using the acronym is going to be confused by the fact there are several all using the same acronym. It’s that. Anyone searching for Nagadai hoping to get information about Nagaoka University is going to be confused if they get information about Nagano University, or in fact Nagasaki University, which is the other university I definitely know uses Nagadai as a completely normal acronym (I went to the uni down the road, but did stuff there). Absurdum4242 (talk) 04:25, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Would this be the equivalent of something like U of W? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 22:58, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment Yes! Dead on that. Good catch @Significa liberdade, it’s pretty much exactly the same as that, meaning if this page is deleted, really all those “U of W” type pages need deleted too. Absurdum4242 (talk) 09:32, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this I have some follow-up comments. "U of W" is an English abbreviation, which makes it appropriate for the English Wikipedia. Thus, I think the question is whether Japanese-language abbreviations are appropriate. To determine that, I think it's worth seeing if a) these abbreviations are used in English materials and b) if we have other disambiguation pages for non-English shortenings. Another consideration is that we often keep non-English redirects if they relate to the target page, which would be the case here. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Many of the articles linked to from these dab pages don't mention the term. Neither of the articles linked from Nagadai mentions the term. The same applies to Kyukodai. In others there is only one article linked to that mentions the dab term. Applying MOS:DABNOMENTION, Nagadai and Kyukodai would be eligible for WP:G14 deletion and others should be changed to redirects. --John B123 (talk) 20:12, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: At present, we have DABs for references such as U of M. The first item is University of Maine, which does not mention U of M in the article. However, I would argue it makes sense to innumerable people that it would be called the U of M. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:00, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If University of Maine is referred to as U of M then this should be included in the article and suitably referenced. Its not our place here or the purpose of a dab page to speculate on what abbreviations or nicknames a university is referred to as however logical the reasoning is. This is why MOS:DABNOMENTION has been agreed by the community. That aside, it could be argued that U of M not complying with DABNOMENTION falls under WP:OTHERSTUFF. --John B123 (talk) 23:38, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Taking my example above Peking University doesn't include the term "beida" in its text (OK, in one of the citation article titles) even though it's unquestionably a prevalent nickname and possible search term. Beida is a redirect, where the guideline is a bit softer at "unlikely to be useful".
I agree that MOS:DABMENTION supports your position but the alternative to deletion, to not sweep away all these disambig pages, would be to add the mention to each redirected article (perhaps with a little {{cn}} next to it). Except for Fukudai, which @GreenLipstickLesbian seems to have sorted out, cite-wise. Oblivy (talk) 02:27, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Surely WP:BURDEN prevents us from adding a mention with {{cn}} tag? Following some of the points made during this discussion I'm swaying towards changing my !vote. However for this to happen the pages need to comply with MOS:DAB. Whilst I have no reason to disbelieve anybody who knows a university is referred to by one of the terms, per WP:V this is not enough. Nor in my view is the name of a nearby bus stop or station sufficient evidence. They may well have been named in reference to the university, but may have been named after something else. I'm also concerned about partial matches, for example Hokudai lists Tohoku University but the article gives Tohokudai as its colloquial name. --John B123 (talk) 10:29, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Per MOS:TVEPISODELIST (For very lengthy series, generally 80+ episodes, it may be necessary to break the episode list into individual season or story arc lists. and If this is done, the main list of episodes should still contain the entire episode list, appropriately sectioned, without the episode summaries.)

If you want to go through and reword all the promotional parts, have at it. There seems to be more than enough coverage to establish notability though (some sources aren’t great, but there are enough that are to establish notability).

Delete The article seems to have a circular logic to it. Genlin is notable for funding World Dog Alliance, but I cannot find RS to show World Dog Alliance is notable. The whole table in the middle Contributions by Genlin/ World Dog Alliance conflates the two and can be considered original research.

for example The joint efforts of Genlin and lobbyists succeeded in convincing Republic Congressman Jeff Denham to include a ban on dog meat consumption into the 2018 Farm Bill passed on 12 December 2018 in the House of Representatives. The bill obtained bipartisan support, notably from Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings, who had earlier co-sponsored a separate bill to Congress (H.R. 1406 - To amend the Animal Welfare Act to prohibit the slaughter of dogs and cats for human consumption^[1]) to ban consumption of dog and cat meat but did not succeed in garnering enough support for a standalone bill on animal rights. The 2018 Farm Bill was successfully passed alongside with other agricultural and food policies. the footnote is to the actual bill which does not mention either Genlin or World Dog Alliance. Many other blocks of text in the table do the same thing, state that Genlin has affected some sort of change without proper citations. I cannot see how this article can be stubified. I am hampered by lack of Chinese. I realize that WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, but this falls under WP:TNT.--WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:32, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wouldn't the passage cited as original research be essentially the same as those promotional parts that Absurdum4242 had already suggested for re-wording / taking out? To suggest taking down the entire page because of those parts seems drastic when the rest of the page is properly referenced. This would be more WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP to me rather than WP:TNT. As previous commentators suggested, there are enough references that are good enough here albeit in different languages. Genlin is Chinese / Japanese, and it must be expected that some of his related sources will be Chinese. With instant translation easier than ever on most browsers, language barrier seems to be a very low bar to suggest for page deletion in my opinion. As for the point about the passage being circular and Genlin being conflated with Word Dog Alliance, I have found another source from 2024 on Chosun Daily (Korea's largest newspaper media, printed in Korean) which is a feature article on the works of both. If a reputable media can print a story about the two together because the two are inherently close, I cannot see why it should pose a reason for suggesting this page be taken down. Here is the link to article I mentioned (please forgive my relative lack of Wiki finesse here meaning I cannot put this into a reference section) -- https://www.chosun.com/international/2024/02/27/ODZKDBS6QJG4NOAZFTST4SQJH4/

The same article would also seem to suggest that Genlin is in fact close with Jeff Denham (quoted in the block of texts in question) as the two travel together to South Korea to meet the Korean legislators there to discuss laws to stop the dog meat trade. That being said the particular passage in question still lacks proper citations and I do agree a few other parts of the page also needs rewriting / taken out and/or better citations. EAWDA (talk) 04:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another source on the BBC from 2018 quoting World Dog Alliance. This source was not cited on this Wiki page but I reckon it adds to the point about it being notable.
