The result was redirect to Japanese typographic symbols, since it's now mentioned there and the content here looks like original research. - Bobet 11:10, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Onpu
As for this page, "Its use is in actuallity shrouded in mystery."♪ The onpu is mostly used by females, but also by males... and foreigners...? This is nonsense. Dekimasu 16:32, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 'Comment I think this needs to be looked at by an expert in the field. I found this listing of Onpu and Image:Onpu-no-bui-no-namae001.png at the commons as parts of a musical note. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. It does indeed mean musical notes in Japanese, but the article is confusing.  It will be interesting to see whether this can be expanded beyond a dicdef. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as it seems to be significant to Japanese culture. Must be cleaned up. Themindset 17:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Japanese typographic symbols and add the symbol to that article. Just say it's a musical note symbol. Fg2 10:02, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: the AfD tag was removed by a vandal and I have replaced it. Dekimasu 02:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment (which I placed on the article's talk page days ago): "Yes, if you type "onpu" into your cell phone, it will give you a musical note. However, the actual meaning includes the dakuten, long mark, small つ, etc. It is crazy to make this an article about cell phones. If I type だな into my cell phone in hiragana, it will give me DKNY as the first choice; this doesn't mean I'm going to write an article about the meaning of "dana" in mass communications in Japan."

 * Note: the AfD tag was removed by the same vandal for a second time and I have replaced it. Dekimasu 14:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: has now been removed four times by the same vandal using two IP addresses. Dekimasu 01:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice to recreation. There are a grand total of zero sources cited in the article or this AfD, so it's off to Wiki-nirvana by virtue of WP:RS/WP:NOR alone. Sandstein 19:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 *  AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Petros471 13:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per Sandstein. The article has been around long enough that if it were going to be cleaned up, it would have been by now. User:Angr 14:51, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice per Sandstein. I can't tell if this is a legitimate topic; if it is, then there can certainly be a well-sourced and well-written article about it. This is not it though. -- Kinu t /c  18:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I added onpu to Japanese typographic symbols as I suggested earlier. Fg2 00:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Japanese typographic symbols per Fg2. That's what this is. The listing there now contains as much information as this article. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 10:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Japanese typographic symbols per Fg2. --Satori Son 17:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
