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.

Jackie Chan J-Mat Fitness

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

Fails WP:GNG. There are two sources from 2008, but no professional reviews and little else in the way of significant coverage on this game. Could possibly be merged or redirected to Xavix, the console article, but I'm not sure there's much reason to do so. MidnightMayhem 08:03, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Xavix For some reason my reasoning was not posted, but let's go again. What I wanted to say is that we could include the game in the table of that article. Other than that, the topic did not receive significant coverage in reliable source, therefore it does not warrant its own article. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 11:22, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found these sources. Still checking.[2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10] Timur9008 (talk) 17:35, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My analysis on these:

1, 2, and 4 are very brief summaries of the game and system, without much detail.
3 is a paragraph on a middle school exercise event where the game was played. This is hardly noteworthy.
5 is a press release that seems more relevant for coverage of the Xavix system than the game itself.
6 is primarily coverage of Jackie Chan Stuntmaster. This actually seems like a good source for improving that article, so I've placed it on the talk page there for later. However, it only mentions Fitness in passing - not significant coverage of this title.
7, 8, and 9 are sources directly from Xavix. Advertising materials are not WP:SIGCOV.

Thank you for looking, I really appreciate your work. However, I'm not convinced that these sources could be used to meaningfully expand this article. MidnightMayhem 17:38, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The game appears to come up in a lot of studies regarding exergaming - scholarly articles like this are a bit out of my depth so I'm not confident in assessing whether these would be suitable sources, but here's two that I found: Energy Cost of Exergaming A Comparison of the Energy Cost of 6 Forms of Exergaming, and Fitness Assessment Comparison Between the Jackie Chan Action Run Videogame, 1-Mile Run/Walk, and the PACER. I also found this short coverage from Gizmodo. Waxworker (talk) 15:37, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Miyoko Hiroyasu

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

Fails WP:SIGCOV (based on GRG and Longeviquest which are primary sources, with other sources containing only trivial mentions; WP:BIO1E (only "notable" for being oldest living person in Japan, which she held for 2 months and therefore temporary); and WP:NOPAGE (no worthwhile encyclopedic content not already contained in List of Japanese supercentenarians, the only article now linked which would otherwise leave this article an orphan).

Redirect to List of Japanese supercentenarians – Where she is listed. Svartner (talk) 23:05, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this article does not fail WP:SIGCOV as stated above, as Hiroyasu was covered by a plethora of Japanese news sources across many years (all of which except one are specifically focused on her), in addition to the GRG and LongeviQuest sources. In addition to being the oldest living person in Japan, she was the eighth oldest living person in the world before her death. Therefore I believe that this article should be kept.

Comment – Most sources are about clubs announcing the signing with him. I tried searching his time at Portimonense and found an article mentioning him on several other Japanese players, but without providing any in-depth information.

Asahidake Ropeway

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

PROD failed, so here goes nothing. I see no way of de-stubbing this article, because the subject isn't really notable. Sure, they may still be a part of several databooks that cover all ropeways in Japan, but I wouldn't take that as enough to justify the article's existence. There are a ton of passing mentions if I search "旭岳ロープウェイ", as the mountain seems pretty popular as a sightseeing spot. Searched "Asahidake Ropeway", I only got more travel booking service advertisements. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 15:25, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A search for reliable sources in WP:VG's search engine only turns out a few handful of results regarding his involvement in specific games, not about the artist himself. A google news lookup is largely the same story. ExoNeos (talk) 01:56, 25 July 2025 (UTC)WP:SOCKSTRIKE. Left guide (talk) 03:33, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - for what its worth, the nominator is now indeffed. Sergecross73 msg me 15:54, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think this person meets WP:NCREATIVE 3 based on their light novel illustrations, being the sole illustrator for My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer and Who Killed the Hero?, as well as co-illustrating Maoyu. The bad faith of the nom also certainly doesn't help their case. Link20XX (talk) 22:13, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not seeing notability there, unfortunately. The sourcing on all of those articles is weak to nonexistent. Bad faith editors should be discussed at WP:ANI rather than used as an AfD argument. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:02, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure those articles aren't the best, but there is absolutely sourcing for all of them. Took only a few minutes to find good sources for each: 1st ([12], [13]), 2nd ([14], [15]), 3rd ([16], [17]). Link20XX (talk) 23:14, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Great, unfortunately those are all about the anime rather than the mangas. It still doesn't indicate that the illustrator is notable for drawing the mangas. While he has worked on anime, it's not those, and not on a major level. Therefore, my opinion still stands completely unchanged. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:56, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was just trying to show that all of those I mentioned above are indeed notable works. WP:NCREATIVE 3 states The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work. Thus, any notable works count towards this criteria. But, if coverage of the original works themselves is what you want, that exists too. For one thing, Who Killed the Hero? has no anime adaptation (at least for now), thus it's impossible those sources could be about a non-existent anime. My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer has some coverage of the manga from a quick search [18] and I also found that Conqueror of the Dying Kingdom, which he played a similar role to the previous works has coverage too ([19], [20]). This work does not have an article, but being the subject of multiple reviews still allows a work to satisfy that criteria, which those articles are.

Delete: From Wikipedia:Notability#Subject-specific notability guidelines: "he subject-specific notability guidelines generally include verifiable criteria about a topic which show that appropriate sourcing likely exists for that topic. Therefore, topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article, though articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article, especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found, or if the topic is not suitable for an encyclopedia". Arguably meeting part of an SNG guideline (which, I don't see how he does, none of his works seem particularly significant or impactful on their own) does not cut it if GNG is not met. He isn't even the main artist of some of these works (e.g. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia). λ NegativeMP1 23:24, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you elaborate? The sources I provided seem sufficient to meet GNG? W3ryfrate (talk) 10:23, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This game lacks reliable, third-party coverage. Rainsday (talk) 10:40, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe so. I added additional references if you want to check for yourself. Both the original game and the fandisc have a page on Kotaku.^[1]^[2] The MangaGamer localization has been covered by Anime News Network^[3] and the release of the fandisc has been covered by Siliconera.^[4]

I also cited the official website of the development company OVERDRIVE as well as the publisher itself, MangaGamer. While for Reception I cited an article by UK Anime Network^[5]. There's probably more sources if I dig for it. W3ryfrate (talk) 12:42, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG with only trivial coverage. Obviously, I'm open to change it if anyone finds Japanese coverage of a significant nature. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:09, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You can see above the citations, it seems like enough coverage? W3ryfrate (talk) 13:58, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It does not. Sources have to be both independent and secondary, as well as more than just a trivial mention. Simply having a page or a short announcement is not significant coverage, but a trivial mention. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:24, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All the sources cited in the article are independent, except for the plot section and the introduction section, there, alongside other independent sources, I also cited MangaGamer and OVERDRIVE's official website. The articles cited cover the game's plot as well as technical information, and some have even a review of the game + fandisc. W3ryfrate (talk) 14:33, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, multiple resources are cited from independent and reliable sources which cover the content of the article adequately. W3ryfrate (talk) 14:07, 24 July 2025 (UTC)— Note to closing admin: W3ryfrate (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. [reply]

Comment The standard for video games is 2-3 reviews from reliable publications for notability. On MobyGames I see two reviews from a NeroHelp which is a Russian site I see no previous discussion on, and Gaming Target where one person said in 2009 on WP:VGRS was unreliable. The UK Anime review is OK as its an Andy Hanley review per WP:A&M/RS, so if either of the other two publications are deemed reliable this is keepable. Jumpytoo Talk 16:48, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you are seeing on Kotaku, it's just a directory listing. There is no actual coverage of the game. Siliconera is also just copy and pasting a press release directly from the company... ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:18, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They're both third-party coverage of the game by reputable sources regardless, without counting the other sources mentioned in the othe thread NeroHelp and Gaming Target (this one is iffy since it's on the unreliable list but the discussion was in 2009 and may be outdated). W3ryfrate (talk) 21:01, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Being listed on a website is not coverage, especially given that Kotaku has extremely indiscriminate standards for what they include. Kotaku indexes basically every fan game, mod, and ROM hack it seems. That being said, even if we disregard how indiscriminate Kotaku's index is, it doesn't mean the level of WP:SIGCOV required for the purposes of establishing notability. It's not enough to merely grab three reliable sources, the sources have to have something of note to say about the subject. Cukie Gherkin (talk) 02:12, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Have to unfortunately concur with Zxcvbnm here. Can't find any good coverage, and unless some emerges there's no sourcing to meet GNG. Syndicated press releases don't count. silviaASH (inquire within) 01:50, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, on the basis this appears to be a very specialist company and the Wikipedia article is unsourced apart from the company website.
