How to dress at night fighting[edit]

Perhaps its a bad translation of something, but it reads almost like patent nonsense to me. The article title seems comical (how to dress at night while fighting?) Still, someone familiar with nocturnal combat dress under fire might show me that it actually has merit. - KeithTyler 20:42, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

  • Uh...Delete? No, seriously, I don't know. It's like you combined Chinese philosophy with 'Fight Club'. I now understand that "Order is the shortest road, and if followed, there will be nothing forgotten". Well I think that's super! Terrapin 21:41, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • That's gotta be a copyvio from somewhere. Delete. Lacrimosus 22:01, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Sounds like some kind of survival guide. Missing the most important item of all though: the delete key. --Ianb 22:09, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • In the history's edit lines, the creator says that this was translated from a 1913 Japanese military manual. So, it is out of context and out of date. Delete. Fire Star 22:15, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Source material. Gwalla | Talk 22:25, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Couldn't this be transwikied to Wikisource? Upon further review, it doesn't look like this translation could be salvaged. Delete -- [[User:Bobdoe|BobDoe]] 23:11, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Be sure to preserve propriety when night fighting. You do not wish to be indecent before you kill. Not really a source matter. Geogre 00:20, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete; it's not a copyvio - [1] says it's from 1913 and not copyrighted (and, IIRC, it can't be copyrighted from that far back anyway). ugen64 01:10, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks like nonsense to me. It shall soon meet its disgraced ancestors. Binadot 14:37, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • BJAODN? Otherwise, delete. RickK 20:11, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • I don't want to sound like too much of an inclusionist, but if someone supplies the original source, it would be possible to do cleanup (and then keep since it's then encyclopedic). Else delete. Kim Bruning 18:48, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • The original wouldn't belong here but in ja:. - KeithTyler 18:52, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
      • Sure, and then we'd have the translation on en: . Article would clearly be encyclopedic for ja:. Kim Bruning 19:00, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Please find out where this actually came from before your itchy deletefingers get too restless. An article on historical Japanese combat manuals could be kind of interesting if cleaned up. Mark Richards 19:15, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Move to wikisource & delete. It's completely sensible; dunno where the comprehension problem is coming from here. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:25, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
