This is seriously one of the most ridiculous articles/entries i have ever seen. The only thing that makes J-ska unique is that it is sung (sometimes) in Japanese. Other than that there is no discernible difference between J-ska and the rest of the worlds' ska. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.27.9.20 (talk) 09:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

J-ska → {{no redirect|1=Japanese ska}} – Not one of the article's sources, which by the way are mostly dead and unreliable, uses the name "J-ska". Therefore the word seems be simply a fan term, unlike J-pop which is actually used in the Japanese music industry. Xfansd (talk) 20:08, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Support: Short term (i.e. fan term) should only be used if sources indeed indicate common use of this term. This is not the case here. --RJFF (talk) 17:57, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
