List of Brazilian schools in Japan[edit]

Non-notable list of non-notable schools. My speedy deletion tag was removed by an IP. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 03:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article has barely any content, anyway. The article does not discuss how these schools are notable for being Brazillian and being in Japan, and it fails the general notability guideline. Talk about a random topic, right? The Earwig ^{(Talk | Editor review)} 05:11, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not random; the Dekasegi returnees number between 275,000 and 300,000. Abductive (talk) 21:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable list that fails WP:GNG. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:46, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per above. Livitup (talk) 06:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep such an unexpected list, but where are the 80 schools? The fact that therea re any at all is unusual, and if there is a list, then it is fair enough to enumerate them. It needs some expansion. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Japan has been allowing Japanese-Brazilians (of whom there are millions) into Japan because they need young workers. But these people don't often speak Japanese. Abductive (talk) 21:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice. There could very well be an article to be written here, but as it stands, it's too incomplete to be useful and may be original research. Dekimasuよ! 15:11, 13 June 2009 (UTC) Merge per below. Dekimasuよ! 06:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Far too narrow of a list, no sources, very less than half-assed attempt. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 15:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A quarter-assed attempt? —Quasirandom (talk) 01:07, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Come on now, be a little nicer. We are probably talking about the article of someone who doesn't speak English very well. Dekimasuよ! 01:31, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is not too narrow as it can be polulated with the supposed 80 schools. This is a good size for a list, a good chance it can be maintained, and a better chance than List of Brazilian schools in Australia at actually having some members! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. I've added reliable government sources (national and local) to some entries. Fg2 (talk) 05:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps it can be folded into List of schools in Japan and List of high schools in Japan? Abductive (talk) 22:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Brazilians in Japan#Education (an article I just started). I know there's some coverage of the topic of Brazilian schools in Kanno, Yasuko (2008), Language and education in Japan: unequal access to bilingualism, Palgrave Macmillan, ISBN 9780230506947, but that's mostly of specific schools with lots of Brazilians in them, rather than the whole topic of Brazilian schools in Japan. Per WP:SUMMARY, if the content there develops to the point where it clearly deserves its own article, it can be split back out.

- Comment Might be good to merge one place or the other Fg2 (talk) 08:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse Merge to Brazilians in Japan#Education, which seems a good compromise until the content can be developed and sources found that demonstrate its independent notability. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Brazilians in Japan#Education per cab. The article doesn't seem to meet the criteria for stand-alone lists, but may be of some value. Cnilep (talk) 19:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and do not merge. If the number of schools is as asserted (though it needs a source), it would be too long to include in the proposed merge. As for Who then was a gentleman?, the content of the list does not need to be notable. Zoo Fari 04:16, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The original author of this list has created other articles on this topic, namely Brazilian School in Japan and Fusyūgaku. However, it looks like he can't write English well, so the articles barely make sense (I'm guessing that they are attempts to translate the corresponding Japanese Wikipedia articles). If this subject is notable, someone might want to clean up those articles or merge the content together into one article. Calathan (talk) 04:47, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I've done some cleanup but not checked the translations. With sources added, these might be merged somewhere to make an interesting article as part of the topic of the education of Brazilians or foreigners in Japan. Fg2 (talk) 07:28, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
