Japanese newspapers: historical sources

Seems to be a case of original research. The article reads more like an essay on loosely-related topics than anything else. Janet-O (talk) 20:13, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been around for a long time, but I agree its purpose is unclear. Could it perhaps be moved to a page within Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan as research guidance? --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:07, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Essentially the same content is already in Japanese_newspapers#Reproductions_of_Japanese_newspapers. I don't see the need for a separate version unless significantly different content is added. The version here has experienced a bit more copy editing, so perhaps some of that can be transferred over.

Delete totally unsourced and all content exists in another article (where it rightly belongs) as shown above. No need of this separate parmanent stub — Ammarpad (talk) 18:54, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
