Socialist thinking and the Empire of Japan
This article, I believe, qualifies as original research and is therefore not wanted on Wikipedia. Thoughts, anyone? Rob Church Talk 09:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There must be many possible sources for this page (I was reading one this morning), i.e. the evolution of left-wing thought in Japan. Clean up as per tag. Charles Matthews 14:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if cleaned-up. Youngamerican 15:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and possible find a more suitable name. --MacRusgail 22:03, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment how about "Socialism in Imperial Japan"? --MacRusgail 01:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Depends. If the article is to focus on actual, existing socialism in action in Imperial Japan, then that would be an excellent title. If the article is to focus on socialist theory of the time and place, rather than any implemented policy, the title should be 'Socialist Thought in Imperial Japan' or something like that.

 * Yes, something like the latter. Charles Matthews
 * How about this, I propose that the article be kept, moved to Socialist thought in Imperial Japan, and a clean-up tag be slapped on. Youngamerican 01:56, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but find a better title and clean up.--Bkwillwm 19:01, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with creating Socialist thought in Imperial Japan Schwael 04:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - having reviewed the current article content again, I agree that perhaps the article could be kept, if moved to another title, and cleaned up. I might even be interested in doing some of the cleaning up to make it sound a bit less unsure of itself. I would go for the names Socialism in Imperial Japan or Socialist theory in Imperial Japan, depending upon which is the more appropriate for the content.

 * Comment agree with some of the suggestiosn for renaming, but am split between "Socialist thought" and "Socialist theory" --MacRusgail 11:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * comment I lean towards 'thought' over 'theory' beacuae it seems to be more about the sepecific thought of those with an attatchment to the modernist ideas of socialism as opposed to a construction of a theoretical, predicitive worldview. Youngamerican 22:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
