List of Japanese campaigns of the Second Sino-Japanese War

I think this fails WP:SALAT. What is the encyclopedic benefit to compiling this specific list of campaigns, rather than, say, all of Japan's campaigns during WWII? SilverStar54 (talk) 01:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the cleaner list at List of military engagements of the Second Sino-Japanese War (and merge any contents there that are not already included). The Second Sino-Japanese War is a perfectly valid encyclopedic topic to deal with in greater detail (and not simply as a subset of WWII), both from a Chinese perspective and a Japanese perspective. Although the scope of this list is clear, and in the context of Japanese history a different part of the military was waging the war in China from the part of the military active in the Pacific, I am not sure why this needs to be framed as a list of "Japanese campaigns" rather than noting what was happening on the Chinese side as well. Thus, redirect to the article on the full list of engagements. Dekimasu よ! 03:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep A stand-alone article for quick information is better than a very long article which is List of military engagements of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Both can exist. Azuredivay (talk) 15:27, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * redirect per above as I see no difference between the two subjects. The target article is crappily organized, but that's something that needs fixing there, not by forking it. Mangoe (talk) 16:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect. No need for two articles covering the same subject matter. Unneeded redundancy. If there’s anything not already included, it can be merged. Kierzek (talk) 19:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the superior List of military engagements of the Second Sino-Japanese War article. Nick-D (talk) 06:29, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
