Civil rights movement in Japan

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Advocacy article with blatant POV. No reliable sources. Article title is overly broad in scope and misleading. (Contested PROD). - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:36, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

either rewrite so it's wikifabulous, or Redirect to Human rights in Japan. Totnesmartin (talk) 13:09, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as POV essay. No prejudice against future recreation of an article on this topic, which would seem potentially encyclopedia-worthy. This article needs to be completely blown away, however. Carrite Sept. 23, 2010.
Delete. Wikipedia is not a soapbox WP:SOAP. SharedPlanetType (talk) 21:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Can you be a citizen of ANY country if you are born there but neither of your parents are citizens? This is just soapbox stuff. I think I can hear an axe being ground somewhere... Peridon (talk) 21:49, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, some countries. It's called jus soli, also known as "birthright citizenship". To oversimplify things a lot, most of the Western Hemisphere countries do allow it, and most of the Eastern Hemisphere countries don't. There's a controversy about it in the United States now, because we do have birthright citizenship (children born here become citizens even if their parents are illegal aliens), and some people think that should be changed. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:20, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.Peridon does NOT know the immigration law. He is ignorant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloo123 (talk • contribs) 01:28, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peridon does not know the immigration laws of every nation. Nor do you. He does usually know whether an article is suitable for Wikipedia or not... Peridon (talk) 20:01, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is clearly a notable subject. However, it needs to be improved with regard to WP:RS. The author should be given the opportunity to improve the references in the article. Further more, the title is too broad for the subject matter, which appears to be the legal rights of ethnic minorities in Japan rather than civil rights per se.

~~Keep~~.Peridon wrote "Can you be a citizen of ANY country if you are born there but neither of your parents are citizens?" Now Peridon says, "Peridon does not know the immigration laws of every nation." Peridon's remark is contradictory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloo123 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 24 September 2010 (UTC) strikethrough because of previous !vote. Only one per poster allowed. Peridon (talk) 14:28, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've made my day there. Just HOW is that contradictory? (By the way - only one !vote per poster and remember that multiple appearances of single purpose accounts count for little in the final analysis - unless they make real valid points. They rarely do...) Peridon (talk) 22:56, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~.Peridon does NOT know how contradictory his remark is. Read again your own remark, Peridon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloo123 (talk • contribs) strikethrough because of previous !vote. Only one per poster allowed. Peridon (talk) 14:28, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notable, but a little POV. - Ret.Prof (talk) 03:46, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Will new account posters please note that they should sign their posts with ~~~~, and also note that only one !vote of keep or delete is allowed per poster. Other remarks are Comments. Excess !votes will be struck through. Peridon (talk) 14:28, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Ethnic issues in Japan, which overlaps in coverage with this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:16, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peridon admitted he does NOT know the law. Peridon does NOT understand how contradictory his remarks are. Peridon is nothing here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloo123 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per the repeated warnings on your talk page, you must stop making derogatory remarks directed to Peridon (or any other editor), or you will be blocked from editing. Your conduct here is unacceptable. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:55, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peridon started. Peridon does NOT know the law. It's true. You cannot hide it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloo123 (talk • contribs) 07:37, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Peridon asked a question which was politely and helpfully answered by Metropolitan90. He has never claimed to know the law. He still thinks the article is a soapbox. Peridon (talk) 13:21, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I would also note that whether any editor participating in this AfD knows about the immigration law of any country is not the issue here. It is just irrelevant and not worth focusing on here. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:40, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Oda Mari (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to either Human rights in Japan or Ethnic issues in Japan. The person/group that keeps showing up to create these articles is overly biased and has consistently had their articles deleted. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 18:24, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peridon said, "Can you be a citizen of ANY country if you are born there but neither of your parents are citizens? " ANY ANY ANY... Now Peridon tries to cover up the fact that Peridon is ignorant and stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloo123 (talk • contribs) 21:45, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that does it. Off to the penalty box for you, Gloo123. And here's the AIV referee now: "Gloo123, personal attacks, 55 hours." - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
