[edit] Oyako Ryugaku

Doesn't appear to be more than a Japanese-English translation, which is not what wikipedia is for. Delete. Fightindaman 01:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment.The term Oyako Ryugaku is entering the English Vocabulary to describe a particular type of Japanese visitor expanding around the world. There appears to be no English Language equivalent to describe this form of tourism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nicholsp02 (talk • contribs) .

Comment: A google search for "Oyako Ryugaku" yields 16 pages in English. I would hardly say it has entered the English language sufficiently. By contrast, a search for "Au Pair" which you used as a comparison on the articles talk page, gets 21.5 million hits. Fightindaman 01:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• "entering the English vocabulary"? Gee, doesn't that mean neologism? Delete.--み使い Mitsukai 04:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Mitsukai; non-notable neologism, admitted as such in article, and unable to verify widespread usage. Note: also see AfD for Ryugaku. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete since there is no evidence of actual English currency. Just zis Guy you know? 14:02, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
