 * Symbol possible vote.svg This article is new enough, having been created on 24 August 2016. It only just meets the length criteria; it is currently 1,560 characters after the section headers, bibliography and references are excluded. Every paragraph has a citation, but there are claims in the lead which are unsourced and not repeated below, so they require verification. The lead is vague, for example, he is a professor of economics at the university, not just an "economist" there. Saitama is a city of one million people and the capital of Saitama Prefecture so describing it as a suburb of Tokyo is inaccurate; in any event, that is tangential to the subject and a link to the university is all that is required. The "otaku" sub-section belongs in the otaku article, not here. There is scant information of a biographical nature, e.g. where he was born, where he went to school, etc. As a university professor with regular television appearances this information should be easy to find. In short, this article is not at a level that can be featured on the main page and needs some more work before it can be reconsidered. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:52, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thats just not true, those are not requirements for a DYK at all. Carl Fredrik   💌 📧 13:33, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * They certainly are. See Rule D7. Yoninah (talk) 21:19, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * There is an extreme difference between a work in progress and missing specific details when there already is a significant degree of coverage. DYK does not make requirements on covering most details of a topic like WP:GA does. Carl Fredrik   💌 📧 04:55, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * But it's a biography, so it needs biographical details. Actually, I think you're lucky that took up this review, because an editor like myself who isn't familiar with Japan would have missed a lot of those details, and then someone would have pounced on it during its time on the main page and reported it to WP:ERRORS. Instead of arguing the point, why don't you try to expand the article per the reviewer's suggestions, or just say that you can't? Yoninah (talk) 09:54, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * P.S. The references are all bare URLs that need to be formatted per Rule D3. Yoninah (talk) 09:57, 13 September 2016 (UTC)


 * The article presently does not have bare urls (link). North America1000 12:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg There has been no move to expand the article as requested, and what is there is clearly inadequate under D7 as noted above: Articles that fail to deal adequately with the topic are also likely to be rejected. This is simply not adequate: it reads to me as a bunch of factoids, not a biography, and certainly not a "significant degree of coverage". I am marking this for closure; if an expansion is done before this closes, post here, and the updated version will be reviewed. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:26, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
