Mashai Nakamura

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is much in this article that is factually suspect if not patently false. While Vassilios Katselis did seem to have a sensei named Jiro Nakamura, most of what is written about Nakamura in this article is dubious. For instance, he could not have studied under Yamamoto Tamiza Hideya because Yamamoto died in 1798. The Japanese Wikipedia does not list any Nakamura commanding the 18th Infantry Brigade ja:歩兵第18連隊 and also says the 27th class of the Academy graduated in 1915, not 1919 ja:陸軍士官学校卒業生一覧. And what the article says is his own style of jujitsu, written there "すべての電源" in Japanese, actually doesn't mean "all the power", it means "all the electric sources." Someone was using a bad machine translation. After repeated searches, I cannot find RS that not only prove notability, but also prove he did what the article says he did. Since Jiro Nakamura seems to have existed as a martial arts teacher, this is not completely a hoax, but half of it seems to have been made up. Fails WP:GNG and a lot of other things.

 * Delete - no references, suspect information, created by single purpose account(s). Unless reliable sources can be added to the article, it should be gotten rid of. SchreiberBike talk 07:02, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. Note that one of the SPA's that helped create the article has just gone through and deleted all the claims that I tagged as dubious (although the Japanese name for the style is still badly machine translated). Now there are fewer obvious inaccuracies, but since there are still no RS, even the mild claims that remain are unverified. Michitaro (talk) 14:12, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
