Transwiki to wiktionary, per user:Timurite below. `'Míkka>t 15:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC) List of Japanese words. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. `'Míkka>t 08:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mikka. ApprenticeFan (talk) 08:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note-actually Mikkalai wants to delete it. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 15:35, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep... there are dictionary elements in the series of tables in that article, but the tables forming the list are not a dictionary. CJLippert (talk) 10:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. The article is useful and informative, and there are plenty of similar tables in Wikipedia. Fumoses (talk) 13:13, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. A useful list showing both native names of places, and the representation of various names by a language with strong phonological constraints. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This is an invalid !vote. Please refer to WP:USEFUL for guidance.  JBsupreme (talk) 06:39, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * NOTE: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. ApprenticeFan (talk) 14:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per rationale of Smerdis of Tlön. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 15:35, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or transfer to an appropriate Wikimedia project. Useful reference must be kept; the only question is which project. Deletion is not an option. Fg2 (talk) 21:12, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Traswiki to wiktionary. The page is nothing but the list of translations for an arbitrarily picked subject. Why not List of woodworking tool names in German language? I assure you, interesting it be. Timurite (talk) 22:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I suppose it does in fact fail policy, but it's a really useful and well-written article that is just the thing for someone looking for this kind of information. Maybe one day there will be a wikilearnaforeignlanguage.org, but for now it can stay here. - Richard Cavell (talk) 07:30, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Richard, there are many places to store useful information: wikibooks, wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons,.... Each for its own kind of info. Translations belong to wiktionary.
 * Delete. This is an encyclopedia not a translation guide.  JBsupreme (talk) 08:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Traswiki to wiktionary. While being useful, this is most definitely not an encyclopedia article. Mukadderat (talk) 17:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
