Comment: I'm not seeing any evidence in this article that the concept of the 3 rivers is notable enough for its own article, as opposed to being mentioned in the 3 separate articles which it already is. You would need to find sources that discuss the 3 rivers as a whole. CoconutOctopus talk 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)- Comment: @CoconutOctopus: Thank you for the prompt response. I have reason to believe it's moderately notable, but that's because I ran into the term in a translated light novel, where it was clearly intended to be something the reader would be familiar with. (Along with the term "One Hundred Remarkable Waters", which so far all I know is a list made my the Ministry of the Environment in 1985.) That led me to look it up in WP, and I didn't find an article with the title, so I created this (draft) stub/list/disambiguation just to have an article with the right title. To me, the fact that all three rivers' articles see fit to prominently mention their membership in the group is itself pretty suggestive. I say "suggestive" because of course WP itself is not evidence of WP:notability. My big hope is that the river articles can be be decluttered by wikilinking this article rather than each listing the other two rivers in-line. The problem is, almost all the good sources are going to be in Japanese, a language I don't have good access to.

The Three Clear-Flowing Rivers in Japan (Japanese: 日本三大清流, lit. 'Three Great Clear Streams of Japan', alternate translations include free-flowing and of Japan) are three significant rivers in Japan which are unmodified by dams or industry, and therefore popular for tourism and fishing. From North to South, they are the:
There are numerous smaller notably clear rivers in Japan, such as the Niyodo River, but these three are both large and clear.
