No evidence that this small dam is a notable subject. Just like roads, bridges, ... dams aren't automatically notable, and while many will be discussed in independent sources (as major constructions with a profound impact on the landscape), other ones like this (which basically create a pond, nothing more) will be largely ignored and fail WP:N.

• Redirect - this is an artificial infrastructure being a dam, and so GNG applies per WP:GEOFEAT. This particular dam is not sufficiently notable to warrant its own article, and so it should be redirected to List of dams and reservoirs in Japan. MaxnaCarter (talk) 11:54, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of dams and reservoirs in Japan#Ehime Prefecture It exists. It is citable that it exists to handbooks of dams in Japan. That is all I found (in terms of reliable sources, there are a few WP:SPS blogs that cover the dam but not useful). Jumpytoo Talk 06:53, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. You wouldn't delete this if it were in an English speaking country. This is a one hundred year old dam, a significant infrastructure project that affected lives for more than a century.Fulmard (talk) 19:15, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Personally, I would delete this but since we have two votes for it already I'm going to have to say redirect per above. And I'm afraid that in this English-speaking country it's far more likely that we wouldn't bother naming such a small dam in the first place: there are two a short drive from my house that are each four times larger than this one which have no names.
