Comment: and '''Salt'''. Article is fiction and . Regardless of other controversies about status of Ryukyu islands, no Ryukyu Province existed from 1609 to 1872, and no verifiable source will demonstrate it ever had this ''de jure'' status during time period in question

Comment: and '''admonish Ansei''': Ansei has been edit warring over the difference between the Ryukyu Domain and the Ryukyu Province ever since we had two articles on the subject made by another editor, but then he changed his mind about it. It would seem that the Japanese Wikipedia has discovered that the "令制国" version never existed according to any records they could find. There was no need to bring this to AFD when the page could have just been left as a damn redirect instead of restoring the |content fork of Ryukyu Domain, but http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ry%C5%ABky%C5%AB_Province&diff=546313250&oldid=545712610 you http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ry%C5%ABky%C5%AB_Province&diff=554796549&oldid=554697380 just http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ry%C5%ABky%C5%AB_Province&diff=554910795&oldid=554861190 kept edit warring
