Talk:Nari Kusakawa

Works vs Person
I reverted the move to Works by Nari Kusakawa per Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals#3. Dreadstar ☥   21:01, 25 January 2012 (UTC) FYI - we have an abundance of articles on pseudonyms - see Category:Pseudonymous writers and Category:Anonymity pseudonyms. There are also others where the real name of the author is unknown (e.g. James Church, Denis Salnikov, Federal Farmer). I know that the existence of OTHERSTUFF does not create binding precedent here, but I don't see any reason not to have an article about the notable pseudonym itself even if the true identity is unknown. In fact, I'm not sure that such an article is even really a BLP.-- Kubigula (talk) 04:43, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately there's no verifiable information about Nari Kusakawa in the article. All we've got that complies with WP:V is about her work.  Literally, the only biographical information we have is that her name isn't Nari Kusakawa.  We can't have an unsourced BLP so the article has to be about her work.— S Marshall  T/C 21:08, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Did you, like, check out the link I provided? Notability_(people), #3 there?  Respond to that.  Dreadstar  ☥   21:11, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bluelinking the specific notability guideline there, Dreadstar, in my five years on Wikipedia I'd never read it before. Shall I bluelink BLP in return?  It doesn't matter what a SNG says.  This is an article about a living person but the only sources are about her work.  We don't have any biographical sources at all so we shouldn't have a biography.— S Marshall  T/C 21:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed, classic non-response, "..it doesn't matter what WP:NOTABILITY says". Take it to WP:BLPN.  Blue link that.    Dreadstar  ☥   22:08, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that it isn't really a BLP at all. I think the only way this article can possibly develop is as a discussion of her work as it gains critical reviews, or at least, what passes for "critical reviews" in the Japanese comic book industry.  But I can see that the consensus is against me here and editors want to retain this unfortunate little stub despite the many weighty factors I've mentioned, so it behoves me to unwatch the talk page and let you get on with improving it.— S Marshall  T/C 09:11, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Nationality
I think someone who was born in Japan, works for a Japanese magazine, writes in Japanese, and refers to countries other than Japan as "overseas" on her web page is clearly Japanese (at least in nationality if not in ethnicity). I've reverted the article to say that her nationality is Japanese. My opinion is that the article should continue to say she is Japanese baring a source that says otherwise or clear consensus that the current evidence is not sufficient.
