This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
Can more information be provided as to the design, layout, and construction of the shrine? The article seems heavy in politics but very light in architecture. For example, how does it compare with the war memorials of other nations?
Enshrined pets
I removed a claim that pets are honored at the shrine, as this information is not reflected in the cited source and I couldn't find another. If someone else can back this up, feel free to reinstate it. Candent shlimazel (talk) 13:46, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the shrine is best known for enshrining convicted war criminals and serving as a gathering point for Japanese ultranationalists, it seems quite strange that this article makes no mention of these facts at all. 120.17.39.216 (talk) 03:29, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
