WP:NN (or a hoax). The prior discussion in WP:JA is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#Does anyone know? Nightshadow28 (talk) 13:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. —DAJF (talk) 14:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NN. If it isn't a hoax (where is this famous Ginboen garden in Kyoto??), then it must be a very obscure delicacy not to register on Google or elsewhere. --DAJF (talk) 14:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep and Move to Gionbō per new information provided by Oda Mari if it satisfies notability criteria. --DAJF (talk) 00:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless someone adds a reliable source Fg2 (talk) 21:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC) Changing my vote to keep Fg2 22:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Ghits; [1]. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 00:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Admittedly I only looked at the first 100 (out of 800+) hits for "Ginbo + Japan", but none appeared to refer to Japanese sweets. Lots of references to koi carp, and "ginbo" in languages other than Japanese, but no mention of "ginbō" Japanese sweets. If you could single out even one reliable reference, I would be interested. --DAJF (talk) 01:10, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. I added conditions "Japanese sweets" to gcheck. It seems that most of hits are copies of the Wikipedia.[2][3] --Nightshadow28 (talk) 15:19, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, but needs to move. Please see the latest post. Oda Mari (talk) 19:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Excellent. I scrutinize the information. Just a moment day, please. :) --Nightshadow28 (talk) 14:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and move Move to Gionbō/Gionbo/Gionbou and then delete Ginbou and Ginbō. The article title is a typo and not worth to keep. 祇園坊 seems like also popularly known as a type of seedless persimmon and the yokan as well as a type of gyuhi wagashi of Kyoto specialty.--Jjok 16:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
