Talk:Nen-ryū

Separate Maniwa nen-ryu and Nen-ryu articles?
Is there a good reason for us not to merge the Maniwa Nen-ryu and Nen-ryu articles?--Mateo2006 20:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The only good reasons would be that although I believe Nen-ryu essentially ceased to exist when it was "renamed", the names are separated by over 200 years, and there are other arts whose lineage is specifically tied to the older name. For example, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna specifically studied Nen-ryu (because he lived in the early 16th century, and Maniwa Nen-ryu wasn't "founded" until the very end of the 16th century).  I think that this is unlike Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, which was renamed within a single generation, by the founder's very first student. Bradford44 20:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Verifiability
Hello Patar knight -- You assert that there are sources in books to support this article. This is the same implicit assertion as has existed for ten years. Nonetheless, the article stood original research for all that time. At what point is the article to be doubted? Our readers have an expectation that the content is factual and backed up by secondary sources. A claim that sources exist gets old after ten years. I reject the WP:NODEADLINE argument after a decade. If you disagree, then tell me please, what time frame you would propose. Rhadow (talk) 15:18, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * It's literally possible to prove the assumption that reliable sources should exist by doing a Google Books search that takes no more than 30 seconds. And then taking a couple extra minutes to filter the results and identify the books which are from reputable authors/publishing houses. The deadline lies somewhere between WP:NODEADLINE and WP:DEADLINENOW, but nominating pages on obviously notable topics solely because there are no sources in the article should not happen (see: WP:NEXIST). For most notable subjects, it's possible for you to find reliable sources yourself and add them to the article, instead of nominating them for deletion and wasting everyone's time.
