Japanese nationalist ideas in the feudal period
The lemma is wrong / the text is illegible / the content is not NPOV Mkill 23:05, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I have seen some of the crap User:Reader72 dumped in Wikipedia by now. Yes, some of his works can be kept, cleaned up, wikified, checked for misread historical facts and checked for right-wing propaganda (quote: Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy served as a good example for the Empire of Japan). But: This article can't.
 * 1) The lemma is wrong: There is no nationalist thinking in Edo Japan. Nationalist thinking came to Japan during the Meiji Restoration. Don't confuse the Kokugaku school with nationalism.
 * 2) We already have a lot of useful, (more or less) scientifically useful articles on the Edo period. We don't need this one. All work that goes into it is wasted. Yes, I say this as the person who just tried to make a useful article out of Edo period. -- Mkill 23:05, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If kept, add a "this article requires translating into english" tag. No, seriously. Indium 00:00, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
