== What is tanka prose? ==

This article contains no references to respectable sources on Japanese literature. When I first saw the term "tanka prose" (of course on ]) I assumed it was some obscure translation of the term ''Uta Monogatari'' (歌物語). But the page doesn't mention the correct Japanese term once, and inaccurately groups the ''Tosa Diary'' in too. All of the sources seem to be non-academic in nature, and the authors are apparently non-notable professional poets ('''not''' Japanese scholars), and different online sources brought up by Googling their names indicated a general lack of knowledge about Japanese language and literary history ( spells ]'s name as ''Narihara'', and makes a bizarre, unsourced claim that he and ] used the phrase ''one thousand times'').
Can we delete this page or rename it to ] and include some small reference to this terminology and how inadequate it is?

What is tanka prose?

This article contains no references to respectable sources on Japanese literature. When I first saw the term "tanka prose" (of course on the disambiguation page that should have its name changed) I assumed it was some obscure translation of the term Uta Monogatari (歌物語). But the page doesn't mention the correct Japanese term once, and inaccurately groups the Tosa Diary in too. All of the sources seem to be non-academic in nature, and the authors are apparently non-notable professional poets (not Japanese scholars), and different online sources brought up by Googling their names indicated a general lack of knowledge about Japanese language and literary history ( spells Ariwara no Narihira's name as Narihara, and makes a bizarre, unsourced claim that he and Ono no Komachi used the phrase one thousand times). Can we delete this page or rename it to Uta monogatari and include some small reference to this terminology and how inadequate it is? elvenscout742 (talk) 13:55, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
