Wikify

I notice someone tagged this with wikify. I can tell it needs work, but that said, I don't really know what specifically, so if the tagger could come forward for some suggestions as to the main areas that need amending? Tyciol (talk) 20:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I propose that Japan foreign marriage be merged into International marriage (Japan). I think that the content in the 'Japan foreign marriage' article can easily be explained in the context of International marriage (Japan), and the International marriage (Japan) article is of a reasonable size that the merging of 'Japan foreign marriage' will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. 78.148.77.86 (talk) 14:36, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

• Support: I proposed this at the Japan Wikiproject talk page six months ago, but I am embarrassed to say I did not do anything to follow up after that. In that link I discuss other moves and mergers surrounding the topic of marriage in Japan. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
• Support - Summoned by bot. The pages should be merged (I'm actually surprised they haven't been already) but Japan foreign marriage needs to be trimmed down significantly by removing the unencyclopedic content, which has been addressed with the essay tag.

• Support - Agree with the above. Hirumeshi (talk) 03:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
• Strong oppose - International marriage (Japan) deals with regulations and procedures for international marriage in Japan; Japan foreign marriage (an awkwardly titled article) is about a recent marriage trend of Japanese men importing foreign brides. These are totally seperate subjects and should remain so. If anything, maybe Japan foreign marriage could be merged into Mail-order bride. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 08:39, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Also, an editor back in 2009 noted that the other article was poorly named and was confused with this article (see Talk:Japan foreign marriage#Title change). ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 07:32, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

• Strong oppose "Japan foreign marriage" as it is known refers to a phenomenon where Japanese farmers began marrying foreign Asian brides and was supported and orchestrated by the local governments of the Japanese prefectures. It is not similar to "International marriage in Japan" apart from the fact that it involves Japanese nationals marrying foreigners. Should not be merged.
