Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sotsugyou


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was speedy close. Let me count the ways ... In summary: don't nominate an article for deletion because you want it merged, and don't ask for the deletion of the source of a merged article's content. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 13:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) AfD is not the place to go if you want to propose a merge.
 * 2) You can perform a merge yourself, anyway. Be bold!
 * 3) Once the article has been merged, it cannot be deleted. No, really, it can't.  Wikipedia content is licensed under the GFDL; using content without performing the bare minimum that Wikipedia's guidelines require (in this case, redirecting to the merged article) is theft.

Sotsugyou
Wikipedia is not a (Japanese-English) dictionary. Article merely translates the word sotsugyou and goes on to describe (in detail) its use in a Japanese TV program that is little known in the English-speaking community. Suggest merging the TV-related info into the show's page itself and deleting this article. Bueller 007 03:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The English-language Wikipedia isn't supposed to be limited to topics from the English-speaking community; that's an example of systemic bias. Crystallina 03:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * True enough, but I'm not sure that that justifies having this article separate to the show it relates to. I'd suggest a merge of any non-duplicate content to the article on the show and the deletion of this article. BigHaz 03:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, but move to Sotsugyō per Hepburn romanization required by WP:MOS-JA. A couple citations from reliable sources would be nice; will hunt for some in the morning if no one has provided any by that time. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 06:28, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
