 * Meh. I dimly recall a while back cleaning up a batch of their garbage that included this entry.
 * It is minimally attestable, at least judging by the hits at - the addition of the Japanese-only  filters out one Chinese hit, leaving us with 15 apparently cromulent instances of usage in Japanese books.  When I last looked at our  entry, I saw enough likely hits that I thought this might just pass CFI, and I left it in place.
 * That said, I haven't gone through the hits in any depth, and I wouldn't protest if others deem this entry worthy of removal. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:23, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I found essentially nothing in GBooks. Only one of the books that the algorithm suggested offers a preview, and I couldn't find the word there. The others are quite possibly scannos or the like. Cnilep (talk) 02:05, 23 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for going through those.  I had no real opposition to deletion before, and given your findings, I now think we should delete.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:02, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * It’s definitely borderline. I’ve found hits that aren’t complete garbage data, but to be fair, they’re very relatively recent, with at least one postdating this discussion. And they’re a ninja themed RPG’s character sheet, an isekai LN (also a similarly named web novel which I assume is related), an isekai web novel unrelated to the other, and a throwaway description from the Twitter account of a mobile entry in a major Capcom franchise. The RPG specifies furigana みんじゅつ as one would expect from most usages of 〜術, but the kanji itself has only in recent decades proven to be one of the essentials, and the 音読み are so uncommon that not a single dictionary I consulted specifies any term using either one (it’s possible to use it in kanbun, I guess?). It’s much simpler to consider -jutsu a productive, easily understood suffix and not a dictionary kind of word…in this case…for now. BRPXQZME (talk) 04:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
