This article was originally only for the Japanese jinushigami, but a user known for making poor edits moved it to Landlord deity and added other deities of other East Asian cultures. However, I have found no academic supporting evidence that these deities from these different cultures should be considered the same type of deity, and many of the sections are un-sourced. I propose splitting this back into one article for the Japanese section, one for the Chinese 地主神, and perhaps one for Tē-ki-tsú as that is the only other section that is sourced (though I am unsure how good these sections are and if they deserve preservation), and deleting the other small unsourced sections.
