I think this may at best be categorized as "useless trivia". Even the Japanese entry by kanji categories are more useful than this! -- Liliana • 09:15, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Is this comparable to category:English seven-letter words (redlink)? If so, keep (and extend to other languages): useful category for word-puzzle solvers and natural categorization scheme for words.​—msh210℠ (talk) 07:51, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Nope, since it doesn't take kana into account, it counts only the kanji in every word. -- Liliana • 13:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Basically useless trivia, though we have a lot of that. Weak delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:12, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Category:Japanese character counts currently only has subcategories in the format Category:Japanese terms written with ten Han script characters‎, that naturally don't count kana; they count only characters of another script ("Han script") mentioned in the category name. If people want a category for counting kana, possible names are the short Category:Japanese four-hiragana terms and the long Category:Japanese terms written with four Hiragana script characters‎. (I'd be inclined to choose the shorter.) --Daniel 18:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
