The result was keep. Sources were added during the AfD, meaning that the deletion rationale no longer applies at least in part. Sandstein 17:21, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced BLP, questional notability, author appears to be the subject of the article. Eeekster (talk) 03:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Curious as to what Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL would turn up. Have slightly reworked the existing article. (Editing to add:) there's no indication that author is subject; looks far more like a non-English-speaking fan. --Paularblaster (talk) 08:59, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2 cents from a lurker who randomly saw this while bored at work - First off, she's definatly not the one who wrote it, if only because her English is better than the article was created with. The announces from the major stations tend to end up with a significant fan base, and on top of her news reporting she also co-hosts Music Station which is a really popular prime time show, so I suggest Paularblaster is right it just being a fan.

Second off, while the article at the moment is definatly failing the notability guidlines, as an individual she definatly meets both WP:GNG and wp:entertainer. Theres a bunch more sources on her Japanese wiki entry (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%AB%B9%E5%86%85%E7%94%B1%E6%81%B5) but its hard to find sources for Japanese people anyway because magazines and newspapers don't archive their articles on the internet in Japan. Even the online ones usually delete stuff after a few weeks.

Anyway, I'm not !voting keep because I would feel hypocritical since I have no intention of fixing up the article, but thats my interpritation of the situation. Maybe someone who knows how that stuff works could post this to wikiproject japan? 123.222.137.153 (talk) 10:13, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The grounds given for deletion appear to have been met (there are sources, notability, and no indication that it's autobiography). --Paularblaster (talk) 13:44, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Article is now sourced and notability has been demonstrated. --DAJF (talk) 23:51, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
