Delete: Essay that isn't in English. Joe Chill (talk) 17:29, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it could be translated if it were appropriate material; but it is original research. JohnCD (talk) 17:54, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Opinion piece. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 18:08, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Plus, we already have an article on The Dancing Girl of Izu -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 18:11, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can't read Japanese, but I've come to understand that this is a personal essay. If so, then it should be deleted. Regardless of that, any article that's been listed in Pages Needing Translation for long enough without progress should be deleted, but this is not yet the case here.

Delete. Even by virtue of the title, unless this article is a round-up of critical analysis found elsewhere about the Izu dancing girl (which I doubt), it indicates that the piece itself is the author's critical analysis, whence it is inherently not a proper Wikipedia article. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It isn't in english. Plus, the title is Critical analysis : WP:NOT. --Stroppolo (talk) 22:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Ignoring the fact that it's not in English, just by the title alone, it seems to be an OR personal essay. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook
Delete - essays don't belong here.--Unionhawk ^Talk ^E-mail ^Review 16:56, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Do you we even need to give a reason for deleting something that isn't in English? Doesn't this qualify as Speedy? Angryapathy (talk) 19:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Only if it's an identical copy of an article found on a foreign-language Wikipedia. Otherwise it goes to WP:PNT where we decide its fate. An article listed there can be speedied if it meets any of the criteria at WP:CSD. If an article is deemed unworthy to be translated, or if no translator is found within a reasonable time frame, then it gets listed here. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 03:29, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: it's now in English, but still obviously an OR essay. Tim Song (talk) 19:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Thought I already !voted, but my concerns are WP:OR (not that it matters, consensus is overwhelmingly delete)--TParis00ap (talk) 19:38, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Apparently a machine translation has been delivered, which didn't improve the article at all. Wikipedia is not for OR and essays. De728631 (talk) 19:47, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In as far as anyone can tell, given that the machine translation is so bad it borders on patent nonsense, this is still an OR essay. It's snowball time. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:43, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE. WIKIPEDIA DOES NOT ALLOW ORIGINAL RESEARCH OR PERSONAL ESSAYS. WP:SNOW, ANYONE??? JBsupreme (talk) 18:14, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
