Fukagawa Geisha

Would some others mind taking a look at Fukagawa Geisha and assessing it? Ganbaruby has cleaned up some things, but it probably would help to have more people looking it over. It was created directly in the mainspace by a new editor named Geicraftor; there was a sandbox version User:Geicraftor/sandbox/fukagawa geisha, but that was never submitted to WP:AFC for review. Some concerns about the account were expressed by Ineffablebookkeeper at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1096#This section on this person's page is a bit too overt and User talk:Geicraftor#Fukagawa geisha prior to the article being created, but no response was received in either case. If the subject is notable, then any COI connection isn't really an issue since that can probably be cleaned up; same goes for any WP:UPE, but in that case the creator will need to comply with WP:PAID or be blocked. Since there's obviously a strong connection between this article and Fiona Graham, perhaps a WP:MERGE or WP:REDIRECT would be preferred to outright deletion if the "house" isn't deemed to be Wikipedia notable in its own right. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:31, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: I've started a merge proposal at Talk:Fukagawa Geisha#Merge proposal and I'd appreciate any comments you all might have. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 01:49, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I agree that the best option would be to merge the "Geisha Mother" section of Wikipedia into the Fiona Graham article, but the rest of the article should stay as the house has received press coverage in several notable news outlets around the world. The reason for writing the Geisha Mother section was because the Fiona Graham editors were acting as gatekeepers to a unflatteringly biased article. Geicraftor (talk) 08:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Two new lake articles

For anyone who may want to watch or edit them, I just made these two articles: Lake Kutcharo and Lake Utonai. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:45, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

"長賜輪"/"Ever Given"

Recently "長賜輪" was removed from en:Ever Given, as it was missing an RS, and was questioned as if it was an official name. The Chinese Wikipedia uses zh:長賜輪 (zhǎng cì lún) as its pagename. Does anyone know if this is an official name, either in Chinese of the ship operator, or in Japanese of the shipowner? Japanese Wikipedia uses ja:エヴァーギヴン (evuāgivun) -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 00:46, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Help at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher McCombs

Hi all. The sources for this article are largely in Japanese. It would be helpful to have any bilingual editors available to comment here. It's challenging to evaluate for editors who only read English.4meter4 (talk) 03:10, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
