The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Tamagotchi. -- Jonel | Speak 05:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Aki Maita
Non-notable. This article has been virtually unchanged for several months, because there's nothing to say about him. He invented the tamagotchi, and that's all. He is named on the tamagotchi page; he doesn't need his own article to reiterate what has already been said. Delete. Redirect per Krash. Kafziel 16:13, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect. per nom.--Esprit15d 19:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or redirect. There is very little to say about Maita-san, but definitely notable and verifiable. "He" is actually a "she", which would lead me to belive that nom didn't even Google test. -- Krash 17:12, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I didn't google it. I'm sure there are a gazillion hits, and I'm sure they're all sites about tamagotchi. My point is that she isn't notable on her own. She hasn't done anything else of note. The article has been one sentence long since it was created in August, and that one sentence worth of information is already in the tamagotchi article. I guess a redirect makes sense, though I doubt anyone is going to search for Aki Maita before searching for tamagotchi. Kafziel 17:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a stub. So what? That's not a criterion for deletion. -- Krash 17:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * One sentence is not a stub. See the criteria. Kafziel 19:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, definitely needs more information. - User:DNewhall
