[edit] Shogyo

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Article will not expand past its current length, and use of the word "vocational high school" would be much better than using a foreign language term. Belongs in a J-E dictionary, not an English encyclopaedia. Bueller 007 02:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - this is a stub. It can expand, given that someone with better fluency in Japanese can hop over to the Japanese wikipedia page and translate the info there [1]. That article is quite substantial. A shogyo is NOT a vocational school in any sense. It is a particular type of school, not just a dictionary definition, anymore than High school is, and worthy of an article.--Nobunaga24 04:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Temporary merge to Secondary education in Japan and request translation of ja:商業高等学校 on Wikipedia:Translation_into_English/Japanese (Unless article is expanded during the course of this AfD.) --Kunzite 05:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I will undertake to do this translation now. Will update once done. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 06:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC) Abandoned; real life presses and the article requires a fair bit of knowledge of Japanese business terms that I don't possess. Maybe someone else will give it a shot. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 21:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Article title should be translated also. The word "shogyo" is a popular short form (as the article notes) but the encyclopedia article should have a full English title. Fg2 08:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- TheFarix (Talk) 13:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/redirect Keep as a stub or rename and redirect the Japanese version. rootology 19:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Umm.. The Japanese article is on ja.wikipedia.org. It's not plausable to rename/redirect. --Kunzite 22:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and expand - Someone should translate the rest (the whole) of the Japanese article. It seems to me that its longer and not just list of faculties. Maybe it could become more encyclopedic and notable then. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss? 12:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and expand, for example by translating from Japanese article or by adding new, encyclopedic content. Japanese article is formatted as a list, but that is not a problem. If the translator doesn't like lists, it can be formatted as text. Fg2 06:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. This article might have more potential than you think. --Gray Porpoise 18:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
