Hello,
I found this source ("?? title??" (PDF). "Handball" magazine (313). October 1991.) from the Japan Handball Association about both 1991 Asian Men's Handball Championship (p. 4 to 7) and 1991 Asian Women's Handball Championship (p. 8 to 9).
I don't understand anything in Japanese (actually, I'm French, and consequently my English is not perfect, sorry) so I'm just able to understand the numbers and latin letters 😂","txt":"😂"}]]}">😂 . So I'm looking for help about:
- give the appropriate title given on page 1
- looking at the number, I found most of the games but some scores seems wrong in both tournaments, but I'm not sure my corrections of the article are 100% appropriate since I cannot be sure it's the correct teams...
- what question me the most is on p.7: first table is the Gold medal match, but in the 2nd table, we can see Japan played Bahrein (group I, 25-21), Qatar (group I, 24-10 instead of 24-16 in Wikipedia, 24-10 also on p.5), Kuwait (group I, 25-19) and China (semi-final, 26-18) but there is two new games against Saudi Arabia (28-8, which is the score between China and Saudi Arabia in group A) and Taipei (29-16, which is the score between China and Taipei in group A). I don't get it...
- to add the list of the medallists, would it possible to have the list of the Japanese players (1 to 16)? Some may be listed here.
- is there other encyclopaedic pieces of information about for instance the top scorer(s), a all-star team, etc.?

Greetings,
For Category:Articles lacking sources from October 2011 as of today there are about 68thirty (30) "Station" (railway) articles and an additional 12 "District" articles; all needing improvement with one or more sources to establish notability. Since doing this myself is way beyond me, I am asking for help here. Thank you for helping with these articles. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 20:35, 3 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Today, I corrected above article count, and add Category:Articles lacking sources from November 2011 with 30 articles that I found. For Category:Articles lacking sources from December 2011 I found 12 more articles.
- Also in my wanderings around Wikipedia, I see WikiProject Trains in Japan so at that Talk, I will add a wikilink to here. Perhaps editors there may also help adding references to these station articles. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 20:04, 5 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi! Please see Talk:Keiko_Fujimori on the possibility of her kanji name (source article in Japanese is here). I left a comment, but I'd like to double-check if this is a correct Google Translation. It seems that a set of kanji is her most likely kanji name, but not sure if it is confirmed? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:55, 5 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- It said that it is how it (藤森恵子) sounds. The katakana (ケイコ ・ フジモリ) is her real name in Japanese, which is just a translation. But, idk as the article is paywalled. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 00:10, 6 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Thank you! JAWiki cited that article to say it's her "日本名" but it seems the article itself is saying something different... WhisperToMe (talk) 01:09, 6 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- The Asahi article is lightly casting doubt on the legitimacy of the possible kanji name rather than reporting it as fact. A broader search doesn't give any particular reason to think she has an "official kanji name". Dekimasu よ! 04:36, 6 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
I added a request at ja:Wikipedia:Help_for_Non-Japanese_Speakers#ケイコ・フジモリ's_kanji_name to review the source for her stated kanji name, which would affect her JAwiki article. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:10, 6 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Following the discussion on Talk:Noa (Israeli singer), Noa (Japanese singer-songwriter) was created. However, Noa (Japanese singer, born 2000) is also a singer-songwriter who was born in 2000 like the former. I have opened a discussion at Noa (Japanese singer-songwriter)#Article rename/disambiguation to see how we can disabimguate, and your participation is appreciated. lullabying (talk) 21:54, 25 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
Hi, I've just finished WP:LLMPRODing 50+ articles by Immanuelle on Shinto shrines and Japanese mythology. See the list here (only post-Jan 2023 were tagged), lots show up in article alerts. Courtesy ping to @Erynamrod who's been working on some of these. To dePROD, please follow the guidance at WP:LLMPRVOBJ. Thanks, Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 11:36, 29 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Thank you for the ping. I plan to stubbify a number of these, while I'll let others that aren't notable be deleted.
- If anyone in the project wants to coordinate with me (either by identifying which ones deserve to be kept or actually doing the stubbification), please let me know! There's also the job of sorting out all the other pre-Jan 2023 articles that aren't the target of this (they are also terrible). Erynamrod (talk) 11:41, 29 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Although, I don’t know much about Shinto-ish. I’ll try to help later Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:55, 29 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- I'm focusing on the kami and such, but there are a lot of shrines. Those shouldn't take too much expertise, just need to find "this is a shrine located in X" maybe with the added "enshrining kami Y", which shouldn't be too hard for someone without too much knowledge. I'd love help on those ones. Erynamrod (talk) 11:16, 31 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

hi,I would like to request the creation of a new article for Daiichi ipet Insurance Co., Ltd. (formerly ipet Insurance, a major Japanese pet insurance company under Dai-ichi Life Group; Japanese article: [[:ja:第一アイペット損害保険]]).
As I am not fully experienced with English Wikipedia guidelines and sourcing standards, I would be very grateful if an experienced editor could help create an article or a stub for this company.

Hello,
The File:Kazuya Kondo (AZZ 0138).jpg was taken during the Polish-Japanese meeting in the Sejm. In front, there is a nameplate that reads Kondo Kazuya.
I also cropped two portraits for possible use as an infobox image:
.jpg){kind=link}
_(cropped).jpg){kind=link}
_(cropped).jpg){kind=link}
Could someone confirm whether this is indeed the correct Kazuya Kondo? -- Bastruk (talk) 17:19, 30 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi! I have submitted a draft about a Japanese idol: Draft:K (&TEAM) on May, 6. Since the AfC backlog is currently very long, I would be grateful if someone from this project could take a look, offer feedback, or help move it to the mainspace. Thank you! ~~~~ Mirenathecat (talk) 14:01, 31 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Maybe I can move the article to the mainspace myself? As I got some feedback and corrections from Admins immediately after placing it to the Draft space on May,6. And no feedback or review after that. If, beyond hope, it will be deleted from the mainspace, will the draft still remain? Mirenathecat (talk) 12:57, 1 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
