Article has no sources at all, and has not had any for fifteen years. As a result, I don't think it fulfils WP:Notability Sparkledriver (talk) 13:46, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:The article started out before references became mandatory on Wikipedia. Their lack, therefore, does not mean lack of notability. We should bare in mind that much of the material about them is in Japanese. I do agree however that it should have references, and Is hall see if I can dig some out.

Delete. There is currently no indication the subject is notable. If Leutha can add references that indicate notability I'm open to changing my mind.--Carabinieri (talk) 19:37, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge -- This seems to be a shortlived political movement in Japan. I suspect that there will be rather more on it in the Japanese WP, but I cannot read the language and have not investigated. The article mentions other groups with which this one merged. I suspect there is scope for merging all these into one article on 20th century political dissidents in Japan. That may not quite explain its scope. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:36, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge A quick look on Google suggests that there are sources out there, and merging into an article such as Anarchism in Japan is probably the way to go Playlet (talk) 01:05, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific? What sources? My search didn't turn up anything.--Carabinieri (talk) 11:56, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Playlet:, any information on potential sources you have would be really helpful. Leutha has a long history of good contributions, so I'm sure this isn't a hoax, but as the article stands there is no evidence whatsoever other than Leutha's reputation that this group existed.--Carabinieri (talk) 19:29, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Sparkledriver and Carabinieri. I'd change to merge if someone comes up with rs, but without rs merging will only add unsourced content to another article. // Timothy :: talk 14:19, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Without sources, we're down to whether this is a sensible redirect to Anarchism in Japan. I don't see what we'd be sourcing there under this topic, so better to delete than redirect/merge. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 06:38, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
