The result was no consensus‎. This close has no prejudice against renaming/rescoping the article, but there's insufficient consensus and it can be discussed outside of AFD. The WordsmithTalk to me 22:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

See my comment below. The term is Diaspora. — Maile (talk) 01:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's not the case. The article on Japanese diaspora is about the group of ethnic Japanese people who are in Japan (a large majority of whom are not citizens of Japan, and have never lived there), whereas this article is about the group of Japanese citizens who were not born in Japan (a large majority of whom live in Japan).

  • Cleaned up the unsourced waffle; again, I think that a move to List of naturalized Japanese citizens is clear in scope and is not indiscriminate. Then the list would simply require expansion (probably from Category:Naturalized citizens of Japan as a start). Dekimasuよ! 07:12, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • That's not the scope intended by this article. This article is explicitly about citizens of Japan, which is a separate topic from Japanese diaspora. In effect, since the Japanese government does not acknowledge the existence of ethnicity (and the series of articles on foreign groups in Japan also explicitly limits the scope of those articles to citizens of foreign countries, cf. Brazilians in Japan, Chinese people in Japan, Americans in Japan), deletion of this article would leave us with few places to discuss the subjects of this article as a group. If that is fine with everyone, I suppose the category will have to suffice. Dekimasuよ! 03:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
