This article is a violation of WP:SYNTH at best, and a WP:COATRACK for other views at worst. Merging the article to Racism in Japan might seem to be an option, but the facts and sources are patchwork, not coherent, so it's difficult to image how this material might benefit Racism in Japan. Which is why I think a simple redirect is in order, of course to Racism in Japan. Binksternet (talk) 06:08, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• What you're saying is to redirect Japanese privilege to Racism in Japan? Mureungdowon (talk) 06:10, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is correct. Binksternet (talk) 06:12, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Instead, there should be a "Japanese privilege" item in the Racism in Japan article.# Mureungdowon (talk) 06:24, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete with a bit of merge. The term is used in a few works but it not very common, and my quick BEFORE is not giving a good case for why this should be a stand-alone article, plus WP:TNT comes to fore, since the article uses this term just in the lead (uncited defininition) and then meanders about various racism- and discrimination- related issues; heck, most of the article is about 'outside Japan' topics; the section on South Africa is totally irrelevant, and then most of the article is about... Korea? Korean privilige? This is indeed very bad and I don't think there is anything salvageable here, even for a merge. Only the section on 'In Japanese society' has some value, if anyone feels this is worth merging. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:17, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Racism in Japan, it's a mess. --StellarNerd (talk) 18:18, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete then redirect per nominator. Even if this was a notable topic that wasn't a FORK, this would need TNT to cleanup. I removed some material that failed V, but this is still OR / SYNTH.  // Timothy :: talk  13:32, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:SNOW, and possibly redirect. Bearian (talk) 15:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
