Amakasu clan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Although there are individual samurai named Amakasu, a quick search of Google books shows no support for an article about a kin group in Japanese history. Sekai hyakka daijiten shows no support -- see 甘糟氏 at kotobank.jp. In popular culture, the "Akamasu clan" appears in strategy video games and in role-playing games, but not in reliable sources.

 * Comment If there's any particular games this fictional clan is mentioned in, then maybe we should turn this into a dab page with links to those games? Or perhaps delete this page, but create an Amakasu dab page with links to the aforementioned samurai, plus any games containing characters or playable clans. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 19:55, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete based on the information presented above. Minor appearances in video games (or any other game, for that matter) do not qualify a minor clan such as this under any notability guideline we have. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 18:30, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - With reservations. For one, this clan is not fictional. It was a retainer clan for Uesugi Kenshin and one of its members was a Christian Martyr . Another of its members was one of the renowned 25 Generals of Uesugi but as far as EN Wikipedia is concerned, there is no reason to create an article for this retainer clan, when the notable members are footnotes to more serious articles with room for development.
