Talk:Nipponisation

I'm highly confused by the original author of this page adding from the very first revision. If Pinoyartist99 felt it should be a disambiguation page, why didn't he/she create it as one?

Also, while I'm sure this phenomenon exists, Nipponisation probably isn't the widely accepted term for it- it gets very few Google hits with either spelling. "Japanisation" is suggested, but most of the hits for that seem to be used in entirely different contexts, so I'm not confident moving this page.

For now, slapping an RfC on it. Do whatever you can and please add your own comments. -Seventh Holy Scripture 01:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is wholely uncited and, as it stands, pretty useless. I have no time just now, but will try to get around to cleaning this up somewhat. If someone can beat me to it, all the better. ShizuokaSensei 06:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Article needs cleanup and expansion
I cleaned it up a bit, but there's more to do, and it will probably reduce the article to a stub, as little here is verifiable.

The article did survive AfD, but I suspect it might not survive again unless something more comprehensive and encyclopedic is written. Surely the phenomenon denoted by the name goes far beyond the adapatation of American television cartoons, or whatever. See the comments in the AfD for ideas.

Verifiability
It seems that the more common term for the phenomenon being discussed here is Japanization, but I've only found dictionary definitions of it thus far, being defined in several dictionaries as, "To make or become Japanese in form, idiom, style, or character." In light of that, Nipponisation seems less appropriate than Japanization, especially considering that the word, 'Nippoon' is somewhat archaic in both English and Japanese. While I have some understanding of this phenomenon from personal experience, I don't know how appropriate that would be without having an authoratative source to elaborate upon. I'll have to dig up something.(Elustran 04:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC))

Ad Hominum Tu Quoque
The line "Some in the American fandom see this as a negative trend, fearing it will ruin the original product. However, many of them fail to realize that America is more guilty of this, as Americans often "adapt" Japanese material to their liking." is a logical fallacy: the ad hominum tu quoque (lit: against the man, you too.  Essentialy, he did x do i can do x). What Americans do to Japanese shows is irrellevent to what the Japanese do to American shows. i vote we take out the second sentence.

Totally confused by this page
I can't tell from the article if it's referring to the adaptation of American goods and culture for use in Japan, or the speading of Japanese culture in America. Also, most of the article is discussion of opinions about Nipponisation, and not explanations or examples of the subject and its relevance. I'd hate to suggest deleting the article, as it may indeed be an important phenomenon, but I have no way of knowing if it indeed is. Feeeshboy 22:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
