[edit] Memorial niten ichy ryu

I have been looking at this page and can't decide whether it should be kept or deleted. I was going to prod it, but changed to an AfD because I think it needs more eyes. Can we salvage this page? At present it is a mishmash of information, extremely hard to understand. If it can't be improved I think it should be deleted, and that would be my default action here, but I would like to hear other opinions before casting a vote. cmh 00:11, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• delete as a non-notable memorial to what is apparently covered in this article. I'm not sure how it connects Japanese/French cultures, but a Google search on the name appears to bring up only Wikipedia mirror sites. Aplomado ^talk 00:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as randomcrapcruft, or expand. M1ss1ontomars2k4 01:04, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Establish Notability(via expansion). The current article does not notability beyond randomcruft. Falphin 02:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, or of course if notability could be established Keep Conditionally.--Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 02:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment -The external link at the bottom of the article connects to the memorial’s webpage. It may be that this is a very bad translation of something there. (I don’t speak French,-- or Japanese for that matter.) I put the title into the French Wikipedia and did not get an article hit. However, the memorial’s page contains the names “Kikou Yamata" “and “Miyamoto Musashi “ The French Wikipedia article for Kikou Yamata “ has a link titled Ecole Miyamoto Musashi that leads back to the memorial. I did not get a French Wikipeda article for Ecole Miyamoto Musashi or Miyamoto Musashi. In short, It might be very difficult to fix the article, and the relevant info probably exists on the French Wikipedia. :) Dlohcierekim 04:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Website does not appear to expand on anything (the images have been shrunken so badly that the Japanese is undecipherable). Most likely, this article is meant to advertise this non-notable domain/website. In fact, its counterpart on jawiki has already been AfD'd in March, with result delete (see ja:Wikipedia:削除依頼/二天一流記念碑). The reasons for the deletion were "nonsense", "not even proper Japanese" and "advertisement". - Tangotango 06:13, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Article has also been AfD'd on frwiki for much the same reasons: fr:Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer/Mémorial Niten Ichy Ryu -- Tangotango 07:21, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Tangotango -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 06:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for the reasons that User:Tangotango brought out. The article appears to be about something that is Japanese, but that is in France and that is completely irrelevant to Japan. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 07:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
