[edit] War Crimes in the Pacific

Poor quality content, also very lacking in coverage. --posted by User:Sgkay on first nomination

The original editor, User:200.46.205.244, removed the VfD notice shortly after Sgkay put it on. I've reinstated it, with the following justification (from Talk:War Crimes in the Pacific):

Finally, I've initiated another VfD, with the justification that

1. it would probably be better to start over from scratch than try to retro-source and copyedit this mess, and
2. the article title "War Crimes in the Pacific" is wrong for at least three reasons anyway: it's miscapitalized; the article subject is particularly Japanese war crimes; and the article subject is particularly World War II Japanese war crimes. --Quuxplusone 04:07, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Japanese war crimes in the Pacific and redirect, clean up and expand. The article is a mess (and the article to merge into has its problems as well), but I think some encyclopedic stuff could come out of it. —Cleared as filed. 04:33, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per above. Noteworthy info can come out of this. It's just poorly written --Dysepsion 04:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as above. Manik Raina 12:15, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge this as above, but for that matter I am certain that Allied nations also committed war crimes; although the Japanese had a culture of committing such crimes and did so on a scale worse than anyone else, and they of course lost and had the subsequent war cries trials. So there is potential for an article, I think, but this is not it. Dunc|☺ 13:05, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and merge, but, as above, I agree this should be the article title, not Japanese War crimes. Trollderella 15:25, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge Japanese war crimes in the Pacific with this article, per Trollderella. ESkog 00:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Comment - A proper article title would probably include WW2 somewhere in there as well... ESkog 00:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
