This survived a VFD, but it still has almost nothing in the way of references, so I believe it should be deleted. Superm401 - Talk 02:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. —Quasirandom (talk) 03:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Sourcing issues aside, I'm a little baffled as to why Empire of Japan (economic and financial data) needs a supplimental page like this—it's not exactly overlong, even combined with this one. —Quasirandom (talk) 03:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, and any key information from this page should be moved there before deletion. However, that page is barely sourced either, so it may need to be deleted eventually too. Superm401 - Talk 03:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Merge, obviously.--h i s r e s e a r c h 05:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would be disappointed if all the information were merged, because most of it is unsourced. Superm401 - Talk 05:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Move to Talk:Empire of Japan/Additional economic and financial data and leave a comment at Talk:Empire of Japan that it needs verification. This preserves the edit history; we can then delete the resulting useless cross-namespace redirect left behind at Empire of Japan (additional economic and financial data). Similar treatment should be applied to Empire of Japan (economic and financial data). Either 1) someone took the trouble of entering this stuff into Misplaced Pages, possibly translating it from Japanese in the process, or 2) they made it up out of whole cloth. Given the potential that it's fake, it shouldn't be in mainspace, but since it might be real, it should be preserved somewhere while editors try to verify it. cab (talk) 07:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. Lack of references, per se, is not a proper reason for deletion; deletion debates must primarily address the topic. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
