List of japanese,manchu,mongol,korean,chinese,uiguir and foreing supporters personalities in ww2 period
This is a badly written list of red links with an incomprehensible and long name and a purpose I don't even understand. In my opinion, this doesn't even merit a merge into List of people associated with World War II. - ulayiti (talk)  17:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes and the criteria for inclusion is not entirely clear. What is a "foreing supporters personalities"? It would take somebody to weed through this list and do lookups on all the names. The list could be of value, but I'm just not sure. I'll take a pass on this one. &mdash; RJH 18:12, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: during last days someone got very active on Manchukuo and related topics, creating number of similar articles (they look as ripoff from a book). Someone knowledgeable of the topic and Wikipedia rules should cleanup the whole area and then nominate remnants on VfD. Pavel Vozenilek 18:28, 20 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Another comment -- this has happened before; the same anon created an article reminiscent of this one several months ago; it ended up on VfD (Votes for deletion/Agriculture,Farming,lumber,hunting and Fishing in Manchukuo and Mengchiang lands), was deleted, but the anon rewrote it with someone's assistance here: Manchukuo and Mengchiang (agriculture, farming, lumber and fishing).  No vote (yet).  Antandrus  (talk) 18:33, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * AUUUGHH. Delete. 5% of these people will ever be notable. N (t/c) 16:15, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * One more comment: at least two of these new articles added by 200.46.176.* are copyvio: see Zionism,Manchukuo and The Japanese Empire and Mitsui Zaibatsu and the Opium Bussiness Monopoly. Pavel Vozenilek 18:43, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, terrible name and very few of those red names will ever become blue.--nixie 05:33, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The cited reasons (bad writing and lack of comprehension on the nominator's part) are not VfD reasons. And the nomination has the stupid side effect of not allowing a title change. Charles Matthews 07:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename and cleanup. The contents are useful and encyclopedic, but the title is horrible, and the syntax and punctuation needs cleaning. &mdash; J I P | Talk 07:22, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Can't we at least split it up into lists that would make a bit more sense (such as List of military and civil personalities in Manchukuo during World War II etc)? Also, most of the people listed there don't seem to be very extremely encyclopaedic, since they're credited with stuff like 'some Kempeitai officer in Manchukuo' (which hardly sounds notable to me). - ulayiti (talk)  13:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, sure, it might need all sorts of work. Which is why clean-up is more appropriate. But are you a Manchukuo expert, to know such things about each entry? The poster is - see User: Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan for the bigger picture. Charles Matthews 14:31, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I agree that important foreign supporters of/collaborators with the Japanese during World War II should probably be listed somewhere, but I believe that such listing should exist only as sections of articles like Manchukuo. The Literate Engineer 03:27, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
