 * Comment I can't see any reason why he's notable, in the article or via Google, but I don't read Japanese; if deleted could replace by a redirect to Shuichi Abe (I don't see any evidence that they are related). --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:06, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Article was created in 2013. Is a mess (e.g. YYYYs and DD.MM.YYs all over the place) - and hasn't really improved since it was created (and the original author seems to have left wiki shortly after creation). no sources (sorry - a Czech forum post with the same text and a dead website). Google doesn't find any additional sources. He might meeting SOLDIER (arguable) for his airfield group command (hard for me to assess) - but given the state of the article and sourcing - it should be deleted.Icewhiz (talk) 09:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Further note - looking for each of the commands listed- 8th Air District, Baicheng Air District, 30th Area Air Command, 3rd Airfield Group - I can't find any refence that supports these existed. (Baicheng is a city in the environs of Manchukuo (which would be under the 2nd air army) - but other than that, I simply don't see any references to any of these commands. I think this entry is probably a hoax (and if not - it is un-sourced).Icewhiz (talk) 09:41, 24 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Article probably should have been created in draft space and died there.-- Jim in Georgia  Contribs  Talk  13:27, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The article ultimately seems to be based on this (archived from the original) and has as its sole source "上法快男監修,外山操編『陸海軍将官人事総覧』陸軍篇（芙蓉書房、昭和56年）（327頁)". The Japanese Wikipedia on the ja:第4飛行師団 seems well sourced, and shows him with the same last assignment. Otherwise, I can't find anything in Japanese on the net. I doubt that this is a hoax, but unless there is a lot in print sources, I also think it's clear that he does not pass WP:SOLDIER or WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 14:04, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, agree the article is a mess and also does not meet GNG. Kierzek (talk) 14:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
