Actually, the Japanese and Western being references to locations are precisely what those definitions are. If an RPG is made in Japan, it is Japanese. If it is made in the West it is Western. The regions are not genres. There are many RPG sub-genres such as turn-based RPGs, action RPGs, MMO RPGs, strategy RPGs, etc...

WRPG and JRPG are genre definitions.

They're sterotypes that more often than not do a poor job of explaining what a game's content is actually like. A decent classification shouldn't leave a layman thinking "and how is one's gameplay different from the other?" Nothing clear cut like first-person shooter vs. third-person shooter.
