Non-notable WWII-era Japanese merchant ship. Originally tagged A1 by but doesn't qualify for that. ansh 666 23:00, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails GNG and WP:NVEHICLES. Hrodvarsson (talk) 00:35, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes GNG and WP:NVEHICLES, and WP:MILUNIT as a large ship (6,534 GRT) treated individually in secondary sources, and as an auxiliary ship of a navy. Kges1901 (talk) 10:56, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Striking my original vote. I did not know about MILUNIT, which the subject meets. In light of the expansion by User:Kges1901, it seems to pass NVEHICLES too. Not sure how it passes GNG, however, as the references to it are passing mentions. Is combinedfleet.com a reliable source? Hrodvarsson (talk) 20:36, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Combined Fleet is the most authoritative website on the Imperial Japanese Navy and has been cited in books considered RS google books, and is managed by Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully, who co-wrote a respected history of the Battle of Midway. Kges1901 (talk) 21:08, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
