Articles on districts[edit]
So I noticed that a large amount of house of representative districts don't have their own articles yet. So I made a kind of outline that people can use to create articles on them fairly quickly. I thought I'd post it here incase anyone wanted to help. I'm also going to post it on "Wikiproject japan" and "Wikiproject elections and referendums".
[RREFECTURE NAME] [NUMBER] district is a single-member constituency of the House of Representatives in the national Diet of Japan. It is located on the island of [NAME], in [PREFECTURE NAME] Prefecture, and includes the cities of [CITIES, FROM GOOGLE MAPS, AT LEAST 3] As of 2020, the district was home to [NUMBER] constituents.[1]
The district is represented by [REP NAME] of the [PARTY NAME].[2]
Here is how to get the two sources. Source 1 is about the number of constituents, Source 2 is for the current representative
[1] https://www.soumu.go.jp/senkyo/senkyo_s/data/meibo/meibo_R02.html, bottommost xls. Download, then go to https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&op=docs, put that xls in, and it will show you the number of constituents for each district.
[2] Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2017_Japanese_general_election, find the district you are writing an article for, find the name of the WINNER (not "incumbent"). Find the first letter of the winner's last name (for example, Shinzo "A"be) Then go to https://www.shugiin.go.jp/internet/itdb_english.nsf/html/statics/member/mem_a.htm . Select the letter that corresponds with the letter you found, then control-f the winner's name. From there you can find his party.
