Takanori Hashimoto
Hi Northern lights 1122. I'm familiar with the content you tried to add about Hashimoto's reason for retiring. I read two of the articles you cited as sources back in April, and was aware of his YouTube and Twitter accounts. However, English Wikipedia, unlike Japanese Wikipedia perhaps, has quite a high standard regarding content that can be added to articles about living people per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, even in cases when the subject of the article themselves is making statements. WP:PRIMARY sources like social media accounts or WP:INTERVIEWS can only be used very carefully under certain conditions, even if they can be used at all. Such content needs to worded very carefully so as to not appear WP:UNDUE or as an attempt to paint one side more favorably than the other. When I first saw he retired, I was tempted to add content to the article which was similar to what you tried to add (minus the inappropriately embedded external links), but I decided it would be best to wait and see if the custody dispute received any further secondary coverage in major media sources. I have seen anything else about this beyond what was reported on in the few days after he announced his retirement, but I haven't really found anything that seemed usable per English Wikipedia's standards. The custody issue in Japan is quite a serious one and perhaps in the coming months the activities of Hashimoto and others will start to receive more coverage, even from the international media; however, I think it's best to wait until then before trying to re-add such content to the article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:20, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
