[edit] Miyabi

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Article will never amount to more than a stub. Bueller 007 11:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Yomangani 11:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary if the word isn't already defined there. If the word is already defined, delete. Dark Shikari 13:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete unless expanded, without prejudice to re-creation, and transwiki per above. This Japanese word for elegance may be something there's more to say about. Smerdis of Tlön 16:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- TheFarix (Talk) 18:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, dicdef. The character is already on Wiktionary, and the definition there already contains as much of the content of this stub as can be easily verified by reference to Japanese dictionaries, which merely give this word a terse one-line definition without making any grandiose claims of cultural significance. The Japanese wikipedia does not have an article on this word, which further suggests it's not terribly important. — Haeleth Talk 20:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Belongs in Category:Japanese aesthetics with Wabi-sabi, Yugen, Iki (aesthetic ideal), Shibui and other terms on Japanese esthetics. Fg2 05:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps they should all be merged into one nice large article on Japanese aesthetics --Kunzite 03:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Merging it somewhere appropriate is a good idea. I would agree with merge. Maybe all of these, or maybe some. Fg2 04:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

This is all that a J-J dictionary has to say about this word: "courtly", "elegant". [1] There's no Japanese Wikipedia entry for it. Agree 100% with this merge. Throw them all in there. Bueller 007 04:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I added that context to the article. With that information, I think it's ok as a stub for now. - Wickning1 15:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Fg2. I moved the context to the beginning, to make the entry seem less like a dicdef. Neier 02:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by JeffMurph (talk • contribs)
• Keep. I haven't run into this particular aesthetic concept (I'm more familiar with the ones Fg2 mentions), but it seems worthwhile. Wish there were some references though... --Rhwawn talk to Rhwawn 02:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
