The result was redirect‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to Japanese clothing. I've seen some very promising articles come out of WikiEducation courses but the editors rarely return to work on them after the school term is over, unfortunately. Liz Read! Talk! 08:30, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Seasonal wardrobe change in Japan

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unneeded and very poorly sourced CFORK OR essay of Japanese clothing. No objection to a redirect, but there is no properly sourced content that would improve the target in a merge.  // Timothy :: talk  08:37, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is a direct translation of the Japanese article (ja:衣替え), but was not marked as a translation as it should have been for attribution purposes. I waffled on whether there is possibly some difference between the Japanese case of "seasonal wardrobe change" and cases elsewhere, but I can't figure out anything that would justify the existence of this article.

 * Keep At least for a month or so Redirect to Japanese clothing. Creator User:Penerrantry was an instructor for the course Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/UC_Berkeley/Reading_Japanese_Texts_(Fall_2023). At least give them time for a response. Right now, they might be on a semester break. Maybe they will finish it when they return for the Spring 2024 semsster. — Maile  (talk) 00:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * There appear to be other unattributed direct translations in the list on that userpage, and those articles are from the fall of 2022, not the fall of 2023. There doesn't appear to be a drive to improve these later on, and the attribution remains a problem. Dekimasu よ! 14:30, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The top of the talk page says this instruction was for Fall 2023. What you see as 2022, is sectioned off as the prior year's contributions. But then, again, unless we get activity from this editor, we won't know. — Maile (talk) 00:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I have no particular problem with redirecting as an intermediate solution, but anything that is determined to be a copyright violation still must be removed from the page history, and this seems like an unlikely search term. Dekimasu よ! 06:21, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Japanese clothing or move to user space for continued editing if desired. Translated articles need to be properly attributed.  They also need to meet en-wiki content guidelines and I agree that this one doesn't at rhe current time so we don't really want it as a separate article.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. I agree that it's an unusual search term so there is no need for a redirect; the attribution issues are also a good reason to delete rather than redirect. If the editor comes back to work more on it they could request undeletion (I'm with Dekimasu in that I don't think that's terribly likely). I was expecting to make a keep argument for this, especially given that there is a history section that presumably has some good sources out there, but I had no luck looking for sources. I'm sure they're out there somewhere, but until someone finds them, it's a delete from me. -- asilvering (talk) 05:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
