Is it necessary to include a list (let alone a LINK!) to every single text being saved on the site? Why can't we just get a link to a table of contents, if the site has one? -- Zoe

Because the list in the site is in Japanese. Anyway also it is a good list for providing links to make each article Taku 03:54 Jan 5, 2003 (UTC)

The list being in Japanese is irrelevant. As it is now, this page is far too long for most people to want to sit and wait for loading, even if their broswer allows it. -- Zoe

Yes then why don't we make a list that is relevant? And I know the page became too long. So we need to break it up. -- Taku 07:06 Jan 5, 2003 (UTC)

I think the born and death date info with each author is redundant. but please leave it alone. After we completed each article of author with born and death date info, we can delete it. But now there is not such info in wikipedia, so don't delete them. Thanks -- Taku 00:13 Jan 6, 2003 (UTC)

The subpages don't make sense --Hemanshu 12:17, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I know this is rather trivial...but anyway, regarding the English translation of Auzora Bunko, is "open air" an official one? If not, why not simply call it "azure", it fits so well.

[edit] Votes for Deletion

  • all subpages of Aozora Bunko (e.g.Aozora Bunko: A) -- index of another site. they don't make sense. TY 08:44, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete these index pages. A maintenance nightmare anyway. Users are better off visiting the Aozora Bunko website directly. Lupo 13:22, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • On the contrary, this is a useful index for stimulating articles in English on classic works of Japanese literature. Keep. -- The Anome 13:28, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete subpages, keep Aozora Bunko. "Maintenance nightmare" is right! Let people be stimulated by visiting the Aozora Bunko website. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:44, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
      • Suggestion. I'll keep Aozora Bunko and move subpages to another namespace related literature (list of Japanese literary works or something). How about this? TY 08:50, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Del. I am the guy who created the index. Well, I guess I must admit that was mistake. Having a list of Japanese literature or so is useful but not this one. This index contains any work avaliable in Aozora Bunko, not necessalily prominent Japanese literatures. This should not have existed in the first place. -- Taku 08:59, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete. Not material for an encyclopedia. Link to Aozora Bunko's own list (if they have it) instead. Andre Engels 16:16, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep in some form. A lot of pages linked from there already exist, and we have no other List of Japanese literature to index them. I agree this is probably not the best list (too much non-famous stuff, and no recent famous stuff), but at the very least the works we already have articles on should be salvaged from the list before deleting. --Delirium 05:57, Feb 21, 2004 (UTC)
      • (1) There aren't "a lot" of linked-to pages; I count 7 in A-H (didn't check the rest), out of maybe 200 or so. (2) Of those 7, 6 have nothing to do with literature, and the literary content of the 7th is this: "Aomori is also the novel Aomori by Osamu Dazai". (3) It's only proposed to delete the index pages under Aozora Bunko, not any linked-to pages. (4) I agree, there should be a list of Japanese literature. This isn't it. FWIW, Wile E. Heresiarch 17:16, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Hopefully the red links will get some Japanese literature expert to write them. BL 07:53, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. It's comparable to List of books by title. -- User:Docu
    • Delete. No need for Wikipedia to serve as an index for another website's content. NTK 07:24, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
