 * It looks SoP to me. I would remark that it's defined as "a tradition" and not as the resulting cranes themselves, but that doesn't necessarily say much. It seems more like cultural than lexical information, hence something for Wikipedia...? Equinox ◑ 06:37, 14 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Definitely SOP. But where to put after deletion? ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 09:28, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sadly, there are zillions of foreign-language words entered which don't have English counterpart entries, because they fail the SoP argument. Abstain. DonnanZ (talk) 10:09, 14 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's very tragic that we don't have entries for hungry dog and packed train. Do you seriously think that all the SoP people are absolute logic-less drooling morons? Equinox ◑ 12:09, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Tragic? I think we have to apply reason in those examples, which can be reversed - " The dog was hungry so I fed it", "The train was packed, my back was aching and I had to stand all the way." Any translations would probably consist of two words or more. But that doesn't answer this problem (and I can't read Japanese). DonnanZ (talk) 13:16, 14 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete as SoP. No need to transfer anywhere; it already appears as a derived term of . — SGconlaw (talk) 11:18, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the far more common phrasing is anyway. Delete. -  TheDaveRoss  15:00, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Abstain for me. Let's see what the creator has to say... ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 22:57, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * My reasons for adding it was that Wikipedia's article is named “One thousand origami cranes” as opposed to “Senbazuru”, so I assumed it's an established term. But I don't care, if you want to trample on people's contributions, go ahead. — Timwi (talk) 00:59, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless evidence can be found for use beyond the obvious, literal meaning. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 02:54, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
