The page Tomesode is an unsourced, unneeded and useless fork from the Kimono article.
Firstly - it's a confusement (I don't know the proper word). Tomesode means short sleeve, but tomesode aren't, confusingly, a type of kimono. Kurotomesode are. So are irotomesode. But tomesode aren't. It's just a descriptor for sleeve length, used as a suffix for other varieties of kimono. It's not a variety of kimono proper - not notable enough to have its own article like, say, Furisode.
Secondly - it's a pointless fork. There's no information on this article that doesn't fall under the short sections included for kurotomesode and irotomesode on the section Kimono#Types of kimono proper at the minute, or that could not be merged in. The fact that it's entirely unreferenced also makes this information doubly pointless.
I'm trying to clean up the articles surrounding kimono and traditional arts and culture, and there's no reason for this page's existence. It's time for it, in the infamous words of a certain Arsenal fan, to go. Ineffablebookkeeper ( talk) 11:51, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
