The result of the debate was - kept - SimonP 15:14, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
This is barely intelligible, also POV issues - who does "you" refer to in this? Appears to be a list of alleged war crimes by one army during one war so in any case the title is incorrect. I can't see that much could be salvaged from this mess. Delete - SteveW | Talk 17:12, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is an article covering war crimes committed (or allegedly committed) by the Japanese during the Second World War/Pacific War. It has two "sister" articles War Crimes in the Pacific and War crimes in Manchukuo. All should be deleted IMHO or at least redirected, possibly to Japanese war crimes although that might not be NPOV. Leithp 19:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Keep the rewrite. Charles Matthews has made a good start in sorting this out and judging by Talk:Japanese war crimes there seems to be no way that this could be merged without exacerbating an edit war.

- Merge into Japanese war crimes, which probably can do with some expansion (even though the format of this page is also an atrocity). Martg76 20:39, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Japanese war crimes, no redirect. Megan1967 03:47, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and clean-up. Firstly, a VfD listing means no one can move the page, so please don't complain about the title. Secondly, this contributor has added very detailed information to around 30 pages, which I have listed at User:Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan. When people listed those at VfD, rather than asking for clean-up, they are making a major mistake. The English is bad - you is for its, by the way. But I am going to clean this up now.

- Delete unless this can be integrated into some sort of better article. Japanese war crimes, War Crimes in Asia etc Klonimus 05:16, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge (partially?), as it has some useful information that may be better placed elsewhere, and Keep/Move to retain an article on war crimes that have happened in Asia. - Orborde 06:34, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and let Charles Matthews clean up. Kappa 06:52, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Charles Matthews has done excellent work cleaning this up. The information might ultimately be merged as users Martg76 and Megan1967 suggested (together with other articles named). But for the present, keep it. Fg2 04:03, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
