[edit] Japanese Leet, Hong Kong Leet

Interesting, but completely unsupported by reliable, third party sources. Fails verifiability standards. RFerreira 07:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I am certain that these are legitimate topics, however, a result of googling them returns many foreign-language pages that could probably be resources. I would be more comfortable getting the input of an Internet-savvy person who can read a decent amount of Japanese or Cantonese, and having them validate the respective subjects.

  • OK, so based on Lord Metroid's comment I'm voting keep. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep It is as Ikiroid points out a legitimate topic. Under my years of living in Japan I was introduced to this topic and quite amazed of its existence. I see no legitimate reason for deleting the article as it is a very real concept and used in the same way as western leet which an article exists for. The article doesn't need a deletion it needs to an improvement drive. Lord Metroid 15:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Scholarly search reveals no evidence of notability or any reliable sources. --Mus Musculus 15:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• Would you expect an internet meme to yield any scholarly scources? Wikipedia has plenty of articles on internet-related phenomena, yet much of it does not appear in anything found in the conventional library. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• De-leet Japanese Leet, either by moving the page to Kusachū-go or merging and redirecting to Gyaru-moji. This is an invented neologism; there are no reliable sources that use this title. (As far as I'm concerned, the Japanese title is a neologism too, but at least it's a term that's in use.) I apparently made a comment to this effect at Talk:Japanese Leet on January 3, although I had completely forgotten about it since then. No opinion on Hong Kong Leet.
