[edit] Shachiku
Japanese neologism. No indication whatsoever that the term found its way into the English language. Delete. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 14:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. Does this count as a WP:DICTDEF? — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 15:11, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- No references provided to show the word is in use. The top few Google hits are not obviously relevant. Delete unless references are added. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone can add more info on where it came from and why it's notable. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 16:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete – Actually have found the word with an explanation of the meaning as shown here; [1]. But that is the problem…it is only a word that would be more suited to Wikitionary, and even here I would question its inclusion, than Wikipedia. Shoessss | Chat 18:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Contra nom, a word's being in the English language or not has nothing to do with notability. However, this word itself doesn't seem to be worth an article, and I don't see any evidence that it could be expanded beyond a dictionary definition. The jawiki page ja:社畜 is just as bad as this one, and Google search in Japanese shows plenty of hits [2], but no actual coverage jumps out at the eye. All this suggests it's a concept that would be better covered as part of an article at a descriptive title like Corporate culture in Japan or something. cab (talk) 19:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- Transwiki to Wiktionary. No use just tossing out a perfectly good dicdef when it can just be moved to the correct site. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
