Originally PROD'd as essay/original research with one supporting PROD and a second more stinging PROD. PROD was removed by author with no improvements. I agree with the sentiments. Non-coherent un-encyclopedic article. Peter Rehse ( talk) 17:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. Rambling essay filled with original research, and not really appropriate as an encyclopedia article. I'm sensing a pattern here with new articles created by the same enthusiastic editor, a large number of which have either already been deleted or are up for deletion, and I see that the editor has been briefly blocked once for repeatedly creating new articles without paying more attention to the basic Wikipedia guidelines. -- DAJF ( talk) 03:07, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. I noted this at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University clubs in Japan. Mudslides in Japan is hanging on for now, but that's mostly because no one has bothered to put it up for deletion as suggested at User talk:Dekimasu#Mudslide in Japan. Dekimasu よ! 03:33, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete A mish-mash of confused English practice. Since almost all the references are in Japanese, I followed one -- on the utterly unbelievable claim that Japan "imports" (?!) 60% of its water (whatever that could possibly mean). It turns out that the claim on the Japanese environment ministry's website is that Japan is only self-sufficient for 40% of its food in calorie terms, and thus the 60% of "virtual water" used to grow this food is "imported". So this bit is wrong, basically. I expect the rest is similar. Imaginatorium ( talk) 03:50, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. This is a very clear essay and should not be an encyclopedia article. BenLinus 1214 talk 01:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- With respect to Hasirpad's suspicion and the two untranslated Related Pages wikilinks, I checked the respective What Links Here on jawp ja:特別:リンク元/自然農法 ( Natural farming) and ja:特別:リンク元/有機農業 ( Organic farming), giving close attention to 水 (water). Only ja:冬期湛水 (Winter waterlogging) and ja:炭酸水素ナトリウム ( Sodium bicarbonate, Japanese calls hydrogen "water element") are found. It might be that jawp used to have such a counterpart but have been deleted.
- Anyway delete Sourced parts might possibly be salvaged to their separate topics, but together at this state is a WP:TNT at best, and easily gone with WP:NOTESSAY per above. 野狼院ひさし Hisashi Yarouin 12:51, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
