I K, it looks to me that some parts, esp links requiring translation are either is dead or the content being updated. For November 11 as noted for good toilet or the link deals with practical projects to be prepared for emergencies like major quake when make-shift toilet needs higher priority to be built. I will come back again asap I finish what I'm working, so could somebody flag this article as not yet to be deleted? --Omotecho (talk) 22:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC) Omotecho (talk) 22:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not ever going to be deleted. The comment you are replying to is 6.5 years old and was talking about this article possibly being removed from the Featured Articles list (which happened). ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:40, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Health benefit claims for squat toilets

Note that we have discussed the issue with health claims for squat toilets on the page of squat toilet. All information on health aspects was deleted there as another editor pointed out that the sources needed to be more reputable. The same might apply to the sources here. Anyone interested in health aspects, please check out the talk page of squat toilet.EvM-Susana (talk) 10:52, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
