Talk:Coming of Age Ceremony (Japan)

Merging it into "Coming of Age Day"

Someone keeps redirecting this article to "Coming of Age Day," which is inappropriate. The Ceremony is not necessarily associated with the Coming of Age Day (second Monday of January); many Japanese minicipalities hold the Ceremony on some other day during March, April, May, or August.

• Merge selectively. The opening sentence says that this is the ceremony performed on that day. In addition the article is full of commentary and information not germane to an encyclopedia article.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:56, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

  The first sentence has been amended. This is a partial translation of the Coming of Age Ceremony (a separate article from the Coming of Age Day) article in Japanese Wikipedia. We will continue our translation, especially issues surrounding the Ceremony. In any case, the article should not be part of the Coming of Age Day, which is a national holiday.

  I think "Coming of Age Day" and "Coming of Age Ceremony" should be two separate articles. "Coming of Age Day" is a national holiday in Japan. Some prefectures in Japan may host "Coming of Age Ceremony" not necessarily on "Coming of Age Day". It is very confusing to merge these two articles.

  The article on "Coming of Age Ceremony" should be independent. While "Coming of Age Day" is just a holiday, "Coming of Age Ceremony" has a special meaning for people in Japan. Jun Kanazawa (talk) 02:47, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

• We'll wait to hear from some folks who aren't all in the same class. Please see WP:CANVASSING.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:05, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

  Joshuasqupie and Jun Kanazawa are not students in the class. Penerrantry (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

  Really? Could have fooled me with that "This user is a student editor in UC_Berkeley/Reading_Japanese_Texts_(Fall)" banner on their talk pages. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

  They are educators monitoring the course because they are interested in offering a similar course. They do not participate in class activities. Penerrantry (talk) 22:27, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

  Okay, so they are interested parties, same rational applies. And they can no longer say they don't participate in class activities, cause posting here, just did. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:39, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

  Please be reasonable. Why are they interested parties? They want to learn how it is like to incorporate Wikipedia writing in their courses; they are not interested in our course per se. This is not a course discussion board. Anyone who reads the article and this thread of discussion can articulate their opinion. Writing here is not a course activity by any means. May I suggest that we suspend this discussion for a while? In the meantime, we will work hard to win your approval in the near future. Penerrantry (talk) 23:45, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

  Seriously? If you cannot understand why 2 people who are involved in the class that is working on this article are not interested parties, there is seriously nothing more to discuss. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:37, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
