[edit] Plan of attack?

So, what's your plan of attack for making this into a decent article? I'd like to help if I can. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 00:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I believe we agree that the contents and images here are valuable, despite the AfD decision to delete. Unfortunately, it is probably easiest to split up the article, unless you have a better idea. I will explain my plan in the section below...--Endroit (talk) 05:59, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

PS: I need a few hours to draw up my plan, so please wait.--Endroit (talk) 06:17, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, unless there is some unusual pen or stationery which was developed in Japan, I don't see any reason to try to keep it all in one article. I think splitting it up may be the best option in order to keep the useful information and place it where it's likely to be best used and most easily found. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 06:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plan of attack: Splitting this page up

All sections of this article will be incorporated into other relevant articles, except the Erasers section. (The "Erasers" section will be all that will remain, and perhaps a separate article Japanese erasers can be newly created later).

Text (& images) in the "Pens" section will be moved as follows...

Uniball Signo Bit 0.18 mm section → Uni-ball#Models of pen include
Pilot Hi-Tec-C section → Pilot (pen company)#Products
Pilot Petit1 section → Pilot (pen company)#Products
Uniball Mitsubishi Alpha Gel Pen section → Uni-ball#Models of pen include
Brush Pens section → Tombow

Sourcing

Pilot Hi-Tec-C (ハイテックC): (Japanese)Pilot Corporation, JetPens.com (not found at PilotPen.us)
Pilot Petit1 (プチットワン): (Japanese)Pilot Corporation, JetPens.com (not found at PilotPen.us)
Uniball Signo Bit 0.18 mm (シグノビット): (Japanese)MitsubishiPencil Co., JetPens.com (0.7mm verion only at uniball-na.com)
Uniball Mitsubishi Alpha Gel Pen (アルファゲル): (Japanese)MitsubishiPencil Co., JetPens.com (not found at uniball-na.com)
Brush pens (筆ペン) / Fudenosuke (筆之助): Tombow (USA), (Japanese)Tombow (Japan)

To do, afterwards

Perhaps, move the page?: Pilot Pen Corporation → Pilot Corporation (Japan) (per TYO: 7846). Pilot Corporation redirects elsewhere.
- I moved the page to Pilot (pen company) as we generally don't put "Corporation" in the title of an article. I also added a dab link to the Pilot Corp. article. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 07:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  - That should take care of the article name & dab. The other "Pilot Corporation" may be more notable in the US under that name.--Endroit (talk) 08:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps, create a category?: Category:Japanese stationery or Category:Japanese pens and stationery
