 * I've nominated Lackasushi for deletion. Fg2 04:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Zapped as you suggested. (Not that I'm complaining, but in future you can request speedy deletion for mere beer-fueled (?) whimsy such as this, and if you have minor doubts about it you can instead "prod" it. Reserve AfDs for more substantial doubts: articles that some sane, sober person, somewhere, could imaginably defend.) -- Hoary 05:38, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the deletion and for the information. I'm gradually coming to understand Wikipedia's "patent nonsense" criterion: I had thought it meant things like "xoiq3;dsc\lfoiqe" or ungrammatical collections of words like "self thorax Arcturus west concubine Thaler." It's reassuring to know that it can be used for articles written in complete sentences and even paragraphs, as long as they're still nonsense. --Fg2 07:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Videkura, as was linked from purikura when I first discovered the latter. It's still linked, though videkura (bidekura?) looks pretty dodgy to me. -- Hoary 04:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Purikura, discovered today. I suppose it's a sign of how quickly fads can fade that this article was talking about how amazingly popular purikura is (present tense) in Japan even though nobody from this project had thought of looking it up. I thought the article was a terrible mess and tried to knock it into better shape, but I'm not very well qualified for the job. Others should take a look. -- Hoary 10:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, User:Bobo12345 discovered that it was a copyright violation and listed it for speedy deletion. Fg2 07:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it was just a neighborhood in Nagoya, so it could probably be recreated (without copyvio) as part of the Nagoya, Aichi page. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  07:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The article was rather detailed, and it would have been nice if it hadn't been a copyright violation, because even though it needed work it was a better start than a blank slate. But copyright violations have to go, of course. I hope the original contributor recreates the article with original material. Fg2 07:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
