This article was nominated for deletion on 21 November 2015. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Bogus

I cannot find anything in Japanese about this supposed doll. The spelling wikt:歩子 does exist in Japanese, but only as a female given name, most commonly read as Ayuko. The reading hoko also exists in Japanese, but only for the spelling wikt:矛, which means spear, halberd. The corresponding Japanese article for the reading at ja:ほこ does not list 歩子, and the article for the spelling at ja:歩子 does not exist. I cannot find this term in any Japanese dictionary; see also http://www.weblio.jp/content/歩子 for the spelling (no entry exists), http://www.weblio.jp/content/ほこ for the reading (no 歩子 anywhere on that page).

Nominating for deletion as wholly bogus content. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 21:38, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
