Category policy[edit]

Kenji Doihara did not have any relations to Korea in his main career. His life and activity was in northern China. Therefore Category:Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan is very unnatural.
Iwane Matsui also is in the same thing. His activity was in China, not Korea.

This category is including some misunderstanding articles, isn't it? --Nightshadow28 13:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion Criteria[edit]

The criteria for inclusion in this category seem unclear or idiosyncratic, at best. There are or have recently been a number of biographical articles included; where the article does not even mention Korea, far less anti-Korean sentiment. Given the inclusion of this category in Category:Racism in Japan, this is functionally indistinguishable from tagging those biographies as racists; and, if unsourced, is a BLP violation.

In addition, there are a number of non-biographical articles included which do not contain any content on anti-Korean sentiment. (e.g. 2019 G20 Osaka summit, Mongol invasions of Japan). This category appears to contain an indiscriminate list of things that has ever been subject to dispute between Korea & Japan.

What are, or what should be, the inclusion criteria for this category? Rotary Engine ^talk 22:01, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
