Also including Michiko Suganuma, creator and apparent sole practitioner of this obscure style of urushi.

Lack of notability, self promoting to the point of being borderline spam, or worse Svartalf (talk) 06:59, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Ah, no wonder that was looking familiar -- thanks for the pointer. Based on the links in that debate, Michiko Suganuma clearly passes WP:CREATIVE on the "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" clause if nothing else, so KEEP that one. Wagae-nuri is more problematic -- as written it's very spammy, enough so I cannot tell whether it is notable on its own or would be better merged selectively into Michiko Suganuma; withholding !vote on this for now, pending further research (by others, as Japanese is beyond me). —Quasirandom (talk) 21:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Michiko Suganuma unless additional refs can be found showing the lacquerware is notable on its own. I couldn't see anything. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:51, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So keep Michiko Suganuma (which is also nominated)? —Quasirandom (talk) 20:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to, and Keep Michiko Suganuma but no redirect. Suganuma may have established enough notability for her works, but we need yet to see some (totally absent to date) critics and/or reviews by third parties in the field to justify a stand-alone article for this denomination. (With no such information available right now, it only appears to me to be a mere self-named brand, than any new technique.) As such, I am inclined to say there should not be re-directs from the many internal links to "Wagae-nuri" that IP user 211.4.122.37 have planted, but delete them. --Mantokun (talk) 11:01, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
