Doesn't seem to be a notable website. None of the sources gives more than a trivial mention. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:02, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The website alone is A7 speediable since the article doesn't even assert notability of the page, and it clearly fails the notability guideline for websites, lacking the "historical significance" needed. The content that is sourced by reliable sources is marginal: "numerous scholars have devoted their studies to it" and "Japanese put English words onto almost anything that can have print on it". Hmm. Nothing to merge, as I see it. --AmaltheaTalk 23:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
