 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. I suggest having someone who can read Japanese look at the four references provided here before renominating. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:39, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Akisutozeneko

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Can't find any sources to verify or improve article. GScholar comes up blank, GBooks appears to give a Wikipedia mirror and some unrelated junk. A simple Google search is similarly fruitless. The ref in the article is to a page which I think is a Japanese slang dictionary? Like an Urban Dictionary type thing I'm guessing? I don't know any Japanese but here's the Google Translated version. Can't find a way that this page meets WP:GNG or any other notability criteria. Ajpolino (talk) 00:52, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Japanese article seems to be properly referenced, _for once._ Four books with ISBN codes. Perhaps not enough for own article, but merging to something else?Fruitmince (talk) 20:25, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what exactly are you referring to? The Google books search? The first result ("Divination: Dream Interpretation, Tarot, Chinese Astrology...") appears to be just a collection of Wikipedia articles? I couldn't find anything about Akisutozeneko in the other books but maybe I just missed something. If you found other refs, please link them here and maybe we could expand the article rather than delete it.Ajpolino (talk) 20:53, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Fruitmince was very clearly referring to the sources in the Japanese Wikipedia article, which are, surprise, surprise, in Japanese, so wouldn't turn up in a search for sources in the Roman alphabet. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:57, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

ISBN numbers from Japanese wikipedia (referenced properly in article) with worldcat links: Fruitmince (talk) 21:14, 10 September 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Ah I see. Yes, I definitely missed those. Unfortunately I don't read any Japanese. any chance you can pull any useful info from those? Or see if they back up what's in the article. If not, we can ask at WP:JAPAN? Thanks! Ajpolino (talk) 03:46, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Considering its one of the properly referenced Japanese wikipedia articles (for _once_, they seem to be use refs sparingly there...) Google Translate with dictionary check should bring up _something_. ※〶 07:33, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
