Bulk removal of name entries.

[JMdictProject]

This issue was raised in the comments for the 東京ガス工場 entry ([5553201). I want to make some general comments here and close that entry.

• I agree that most of the 1,000+ XXXX工場 entries could be removed;
• the bulk updater does cater for deletions.
• most of the entries are in the form CompanyName+Location+工場, e.g, クボタ船橋工場. I'd like to check that both the company name and the location are entries before deleting them. A spot check shows that several, e.g. クラレ玉島工場, refer to companies where we don't yet have an entry.
• some are just CompanyName+工場

I'll move on this when I get a Round Tuit. It's not really a high-priority item. If anyone wants to check the list and either send me the numbers for deletion or just propose deletion, feel free.

I took a crack at parsing these factory names. If this is anyone else's idea of a good time, feel free to help submit deletions.

The bulk updater can delete entries, so it may be better to email me the sequence numbers. A mass of manual deletions means someone has to go through them one by one and approve them.

(10ten Japanese Reader now automatically updates its name data twice a week and highlights long name matches in case that's useful for verifying the glosses.)
