Chūbu-Doka

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Originally ProD tagged for being an unsourced dictionary definition. Author removed the ProD tag and added a slew of references.... well, actually what he added was a single reference (a link to a Japanese-English dictionary) two large see-also sections, and a reading list for people interested in lean production, none of which helps this to pass WP:DICT. Google turns up nothing on this term, making me also question notability. Author (LeanGuru) is also apparently a SPA, and his or her username makes me wonder if there might also be a conflict of interest in play. -Senseless!... says you, says me 01:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete or Redirect to Lean Manufacturing. This is a non-notable dictionary term which is unlikely to evolve into a full article. Isn't that one of the Speedy Categories? 98.212.129.124 (talk) 02:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not even sure en.wiktionary.org would take it since its a non-English term that hasn't passed into standard usage in English. I originally was thinking A3 (since its little more than a "see also" section), but since the PROD was declined, I felt going with AfD would be safer. -Senseless!... says you, says me 02:43, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect into Lean Manufacturing --H8erade (talk) 17:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as possible hoax: Dictionary reference source does not give any mention of this term. --DAJF (talk) 02:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete The reference to Daijirin is to a different word. I don't see "doka" when I search the external links. Fg2 (talk) 10:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as likely hoax. Aside from turning up nothing on Google, the Dictionary reference seems like smoke and mirrors. Neither the hiragana (ちゅうぶどうか) nor what I think would be the Kanji (中部働化) appear on that page. Nor do these terms yield anything from Google. Seems like a novel reworking of "Jidoka".--Shunpiker (talk) 06:44, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: The dictionary reference is to "mottainai" which (if this dictionary is to be believed) means "more than one deserves" or "wasteful". --Shunpiker (talk) 06:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
