Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the Japanese Wikipedia has an article on it, and Donald Keene's A History of Japanese Literature called the subject "[t]he first distinctively new poet of the Meiji period". The English Wikipedia is sorely lacking in proper articles on Japanese literary figures, and I aim to help remedy that by translating from Japanese Wikipedia articles. --elvenscout742 (talk) 03:02, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All articles on the English Wikipedia must be refrenced and sourced. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the rule. All articles should be referenced and sourced, but an article not having properly displayed references (I cited my sources when I created the article, anyway) is not in itself justifiable grounds for a speedy deletion. I quote Wikipedia's Verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space. However, editors are advised to provide citations for all material added to Wikipedia; any detail risks being unexpectedly challenged or even eventually removed. (Wikipedia:Citing sources). No one has presented any argument to say that this article should not exist or that any of the statements in the article are false, so it is only advised to provide citations in the meantime.

Anyway, I have provided one reference (Keene's History, a secondary source) that backs up most of the information in the article, although I'm still not quite ready to add in-line citations. If you have the time in the meantime, please search online. A quick Googling immediately brought up one book that is largely available free online. [1] The instances of Naobumi's name are highlighted, and this backs up his notability.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Wikiproject Japan notice[edit]

I have added this page to Wikiproject Japan. I am not sure whether to classify this article as "Mid" or "Low" importance. Most of the material was translated from Japanese Wikipedia and checked against Donald Keene where necessary, but being included in Keene's ~3,000-page history does not necessarily mean he is a highly important literary figure. Keene called him "[t]he first distinctly new poet of the Meiji period". (Despite an initial issue with notability, this article does however merit existing.) elvenscout742 (talk) 02:52, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pōrando-kaiko[edit]

Polish Wikipedia notes he wrote a popular poem/song about Poland, "Pōrando-kaiko" ("Memories of Poland"). Is it available online anywhere? I'd love to read it! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
