Don't believe that this is encyclopedic. Sounds like a case of WP:NOTNEWS Gbawden (talk) 08:15, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless improved or cleaned up. Wikipedia is not a news source, though this event may be notable. Yet another case of WP:TNT (this seems to be my favorite argument in AfD as of late...) Also open to userfy if creator requests it. — kikichugirl ^speak up! 10:18, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete; a temporary movie set prop is not notable; otherwise it's a case of Not News.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 12:08, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While the article isn't particularly well-written, no argument for deletion has been made here. Everyking (talk) 23:00, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I should have linked it but didn't as it was already mentioned. The policy is WP:NOTNEWS.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 00:11, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, I know. How does this article run afoul of NOTNEWS? Everyking (talk) 01:24, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Rambling essay attempting to be a news piece. Judging by the characteristic citation style, this is part of the ongoing Kyoto University student assignment in which students upload poorly written articles and never come back. --DAJF (talk) 01:39, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
