This article is little more than a (severely unsourced) list of emoticon which is already covered at List of emoticons. The concept itself is also discussed Emoticon#Japanese style in better detail. This used to be a redirect to Emoticon but was suddenly reverted to the list after 8 years in 2013. There is enough significant changes has been made for me to safely call a WP:BOLD, hence this AfD to try to have this settled once and for all. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 15:47, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (Redirect): This is the English WP; it deals with Topics, under their English names (unless of course there really is no English name). But in this case the English name is Emoticon, and there is therefore no reason to have a separate list under the Japanese title. Imaginatorium (talk) 18:24, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Just a poor-quality unsourced duplication of the existing article at Emoticon. --DAJF (talk) 00:03, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the nomination and Imaginatorium's reasoning. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Imaginatorium - It's basically a Japanese version of Emoticon. –Davey2010^Talk 23:57, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
