Your draft article, Draft:Okinawans in Hawaii

Hello, Coastaline. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Okinawans in Hawaii".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Lapablo (talk) 10:41, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Kyuzo Toyama

Thanks for creating the article on Kyuzo Toyama! He's been on my to-do list ever since you wrote the Okinawans in Hawaii article last year. Great work! Mcampany (talk) 04:35, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

@Mcampany You’re welcome. I will create more Japan-related articles in the future. Coastaline (talk) 06:20, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

HUOA

Hi! Me again, sorry for always bothering you. I added a bunch of sources to the HUOA article to make it obvious to anyone who looks at it that it meets WP:NCORP. According to that guideline, organization pages can't just be sourced to their website. It's mostly out of an abundance of caution, because I don't want the page to be nominated for deletion based on lack of notability--especially since the journal articles that talk about HUOA's history can be really hard to find. I also hope you don't mind that I added a link to the JCCH. I think users who are interested in the HUOA might also be interested in the JCCH.

It's so nice to have someone else working on this topic. If you need access to any sources related to Japanese or Okinawans in Hawaii, just let me know and I'll see if I can find a copy through the library I work at. Mcampany (talk) 04:48, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the article and I’m not bothered at all. I’ll keep that in mind next time I create pages about organizations. And I’ll definitely ask you in the future if I need sources about Okinawans/Japanese in Hawaii. Thanks for notifying me about this. — Coastaline (talk) 02:36, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
