 * Delete, no context for the list. —C.Fred (talk) 00:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. -- Krash (Talk) 00:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. -- Krash (Talk) 13:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Not a dictionary entry, corresponding article exists in Japanese Wikipedia, sources cited, and has historical and literary importance. Sudachi 00:55, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Could perhaps be made into a genuine encyclopedia article, but right now it is just a translation guide guide to Japanese color terms.   dbtfz talk 02:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)  Corrected my comment in response to Sudachi.   dbtfz talk 04:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC).  Weak keep in light of recent expansion.  It's starting to look like a real article.   dbtfz talk 05:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I do not exactly see how the article is a guide for translation as there are no translations given. Unless you refer to translation of Hexdec<->RGB translation. Could you please specify? Sudachi 03:10, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep as expanded per Sudachi. Additionally, although Wikipedia is not a dictionary, Wikipedia has well defined lists of terms.

 * Keep assuming it continues the current rend of improvement, even if it does sound like a Benetton advert :-) Just zis Guy you know? 09:42, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and say what each of the series means. This was worked on fairly hard, and is encyclopedic, it just needs a bit more filling. Karm  a  fist  20:12, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I learned something I never knew nor even considered that I can amaze friends and family with; isn't that the purpose of an encyclopedia. Seriously, it is well thought out but I would like to see it expanded with some context. Carlossuarez46 03:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
