Matsunoyuki

WP:NN Not just a non-notable article (which isn't so harmful by itself IMO) but also unsourced, very unreliable and possibly misleading one.

It looks like Japanese sweets named as 'Matsunoyuki' are not only one, but several different kinds of wagashi are of the same name (just google it if you understand Japanese); so the name doesn't even specify its category, while the current article shows just one and it is wrong.

And, if you can list the Japanese sweets named Matsunoyuki, the article might possibly be something decent, but it looks like no one's interested to maintain the article, at least more than a year, and I think the fact suggests that it simply is not worthy. Darksider 01:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom without prejudice. Shalom Hello 02:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There's no rationale for deletion here. Why is it unreliable?  Why is it misleading?  I looked it up and it seems entirely factual.  I've added some more sources and information.  Improve it, don't delete it. Nick mallory 04:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Yeah, I appriciate your attitude, since I myself dislike deletion, honestly. And pardon me I wasn't giving you enough information at the first place. But I'm afraid Wikipedia be a source of misinformation in this case. Let me explain. Firstly, I'm Japanese living in Japan, and I think I know much more about wagashi than an average person in some other country. And when we (or, I, at least) are to give some representative examples of wagashi, Matsunoyuki will hardly be one of them. My understanding is that 'Matsunoyuki' is not a name for a specific assortment/type of wagashi, but rather a common name for any of wagashi which features the snow on a pine tree, which is a traditional scenary of Japanese aesthetic view. (And thus the name is not just for wagashi.) For example, there is a wagashi made of sugar-frosted kombu and and this is called 'Matsunoyuki'.  You can see it in this site http://www.shop-beniya.com/lineup/lineup04.html And this one too is named 'Matsunoyuki' http://www.kawamitiya.co.jp/osusume01.html And this sort of information I'm writing here may possibly be helpful for someone interested in wagashi, but not a kind of article on an encyclopedia anyway...

 * Merge and Redirect to Gyūhi as there's not enough to make more than a stub right now. It would make a good section in the Gyūhi article, though. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've done this now. Whoever closes this can just redirect the article. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
