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.

Note that 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 links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Japan.

The article only has one primary source. I wouldn't necessarily oppose to merge it with the main series article, but I don't think that there is any benefit in adding a large amount of unnecessary and unsourced content. Xexerss (talk) 19:25, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete and redirect to Samurai_Deeper_Kyo#Characters. Without any reliable secondary sources, there is no reason for a standalone list like this to exist. Fred Zepelin (talk) 20:33, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Redirect to Samurai Deeper Kyo, that way if there is any content to be salvaged (a source needs to be added) it can. --Fulmard (talk) 04:16, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Newspaper coverage includes this contemporary article specifically about him from The Windsor Star, which says in part, "one-time Queen's University football star who later helped export ice hockey to Africa and Asia... a sporting career that made him on of Canada's outstanding athletes in the 1920s." Seems like fairly significant coverage with good notability claims. Dekimasuよ! 19:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete - It appears he was only ambassador for under 2 years with no other notable events occurring outside of his ambassadorship. Bensci54 (talk) 17:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep - "Resident Minister to Guinea" was not just a diplomatic post; in Nkrumah's days, it was also considered a ministerial position to a certain extent (check here). Due to Ghana-Guinea relations at the time (check here), the position of Resident Minister to Guinea was an important political post for the Nkrumah government, and for this reason, top political officials of the then CPP government were mostly appointed to this position. More importantly, finding digital sources to support and improve some Ghanaian articles is quite daunting. We must consider that the lack of references in this case may not necessarily equate to a lack of notability. To your point Bensci54, he served in ambassadorial positions for more than two years. He was Ghana's ambassador to Japan in 1966. Another document published in 1969 suggests that he was still Ghana's ambassador to Japan in the aforementioned year. The link has been added to the article (including more references and some more information). It is quite unfortunate that there is a lack of adequate resources for a page I find very important (for diplomacy, Ghana's diplomatic history etc). For this reason, I employ us all to reason with me on how editors in Ghana and Africa can add free knowledge to our beloved freely accessible encyclopaedia (Wikipedia) when there isn't much documentation to cite as references. Many important Ghanaian pages have been deleted due to the lack of references and hasty generalisation without understanding the context. It is quite unfortunate. This is not meant to trivialise the efforts of administrators and editors who work tirelessly to ensure that Wikipedia remains a source of credible information for the general public. This is a call to us editors to empathise with other editors from different geographic locations, understanding their unique needs and challenges. It is a struggle for us.

Keep per Kinvidia, and as the essence of the GNG is verifiability of information worth keeping. Clearly, a narrow deletionist interpretation of the GNG is even more threatening to Ghana's diplomatic history than it is to that of a great power.

Keep, based on the explanation given above by Kinvidia. Seems reasonable. I don't find sources, but I'll accept what's explained above. Feel free to correct me if I'm off the mark. Oaktree b (talk) 23:49, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Proposed deletions[edit]

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.
