Cannibal Girls of Japan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article that basically consists of speculation and unsourced "rumors" concerning whether Ganguro girls in Japan might be part of cannibalistic cults. Sample language: "rumors began to appear in Tokyo and Osaka suggesting that some of the “ganguro girls” had created a cannibalistic cult based on ancient Japanese folklore consisting of ghosts and demons."; "The sole source of spiritual guidance behind the ganguro cult and their sacrificial practices is unclear and cannot be determined definitely."

 * Delete Quite obviously Original research; an interesting essay presenting somebody's theories, but it's not encyclopedic content because it doesn't reflect what reliable published sources say about a subject (hence failing WP:V). The references don't support the idea of a female cannibal cult (either coverage of a real cult, or widespread media coverage of a non-existent cult, would demonstrate notability). Possibly userfy if the writer wants to keep their essay. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:32, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. An impressive concoction of original research and synthesis, but not at all encyclopedic. --DAJF (talk) 09:56, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's interesting original research and synthesis... but still original research nonetheless. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:35, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
