Toru Kubota
Would some others from WP:JAPAN take a look at Toru Kubota? It appears to be pretty much a direct translation of ja:久保田徹, but is missing the attribution required per WP:TRANSLATE. I tried to do a bit of clean up, but more is probably needed. The subject seems to meet WP:BIO, but it could be a case of WP:BLP1E. Perhaps there more significant coverage of him in Japanese sources to help clarify his English Wikipedia Notability. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:33, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

B-class criteria for House of Yoshida Tsukasa
Hi there! I recently created an article on the house of Yoshida Tsukasa, an important part of sumo history and the birth of the yokozuna rank. It was an article that had been waiting to be created for some time, and I think it meets the prerequisites for a B-criteria ranking. Since this criterion needs to be verified, I'm calling on your proofreading skills to tell me whether or not to give it this rating. - OtharLuin (talk) 05:34, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Numajiri
Could participants here please take a look at Battle of Numajiri? There is a Japanese-language article at ja:沼尻の合戦, but the English-language version is very poorly sourced by comparison. Can anyone help? &mdash; The Anome (talk) 14:12, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Miyamoto_Iori
There is a typo on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Miyamoto_Iori that needs clarifying, but I'm not clear if it's supposed to be grandson or not. Could someone who knows, please look at it?--KimYunmi (talk) 16:26, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Anyone interested in starting a new wikiproject?
I've been thinking recently about creating a wikiproject for Japanese keiretsu. They're usually massive sets of companies, such as Mitsubishi for example, who operate in virtually every industry and have thousands of companies under the "Mitsubishi" name. Would anyone be interested? — Panamitsu (talk) 01:05, 7 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Honestly, it may be better under a subdivision of a current wikiproject, I dont know if one like that would get enough traction. Though, it could be worth a shot to try and try to get listed as a sister project with some other decently sized WPs. I'd say ask WP:BUSINESS if they'd list it as a sister project and if they say yes, go for it. DarmaniLink (talk) 10:02, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Requesting help to wiki-fy Totsukawa
Honestly, the whole article in general needs help. I tried to salave some stuff from an old, possible machine translated addition as well as take what I could off a tourism and a local govt website, while trying to change what was said into an encyclopedic tone.

Can we start an article about Kawaraban / 瓦版 /  Yomiuri ?
Can we start an article about Kawaraban /  瓦版  /  Yomiuri / "tile plate"  (per Google translate) ?

Japanese Wikipedia has an article here - https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/瓦版 -

we can just translate that.
