This is a description of a particular Japanese word relating to job conditions. WP is not a dictionary, and any worthy material should be incorporated into an article with an English title, such as "Job conditions in Japan". Imaginatorium (talk) 18:21, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but major revision, or delete per WP:TNT. The concept is notable and spawns a not-bad number of sources discussing it specifically, including general discussions and specific case studies alike as from this search I tried. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 13:17, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This is a notable topic in Japanese business culture and this is not just a dictionary entry. As shown above, a search for sources finds sufficient coverage of this topic in academic journals. Those journal articles also use the Japanese term rather than some English translation. --Cckerberos (talk) 17:44, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
