highly biased - neologism rarely used in french (¹internet search shows usage within french), should not be used for political reason. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 09:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It belongs to a dictionary of neologisms, and is not expandable above a list of usage of the word Nipponisation. It is possible to understand it on its own. *-ISATION words are not very much used in spoken language, neither in scientific language (except for scientific purpose: poly-mer-isation. this it where it comes from). I believe nowadays not much nipponization takes place, and it is not good way of using language. My POV. I also believe americanization shifts explanation to nationality, and should not be used.

- Well, it appears to be a notable phenomenon, though I'm not sure if it's delving into the realms of original research, so Weak keep there. However, I fail to understand what its use in French has to do with it being encyclopedic, or what political reason would entail it being unused. Wikipedia is not censored for political correctness, after all. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 10:19, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- ¹(french)
- Keep but possibly Rename. The word might be a neologism (I sure haven't heard it), but the concept it describes is notable and article-worthy. What it needs is better-defined examples so it's easier to understand. Perhaps the recent Batman manga novels could be described as an example.

- Delete Unsourced neologism with very few Ghits - many of which are for different phenomena. One of the uses in French for example is the attempt to realise a cultural identity distinct from China. Hard to see it being (or becoming) other than original research. Dlyons493 Talk 16:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to Japanisation, that term returns many more hits at Google than nipponisation, and should have basically the same meaning. -- ReyBrujo 01:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to Japanization. It has more google hits. It's used a lot as a business term, especially as companies have adopted Toyota's methods of doing business. A more discriminating scholar.google.com gives about 1,220 hits for z and 500 for s. --Kunzite 22:55, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- ˑˑˑ日本穣 Talk to Nihonjoε 16:18, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and Rename to Japanization per Kunzite. ˑˑˑ日本穣 Talk to Nihonjoε 16:18, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep, don't really see anything justifying deletion. Stifle (talk) 00:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
