 * Comment -- In contrast, please compare the growing number of article marked "done+cites added" at WP:WikiProject Japan/Historical people. --Ansei (talk) 22:53, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete--I could find no significant information on this historical figure in Japanese reference databases like Japan Knowledge. Michitaro (talk) 22:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - He is an actual historical figure and has an article in JA Wikipedia here but this is an article for a fairly obscure retainer for Bizen-no-kuni killed during a series of backstabbing intercine battles common to that period. Unless quoting directly from one of the two available 16th century historical records on him, this stub article written using auto-translate doesn't have much of a future.

 * Delete Despite having lived a long time ago, and having a dramatic life, I do not see any strong assertion of notability. Old =/= notable. I would need to see a very strong reference from a reliable source -- and substantial mentions. Until then I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping the article since it seems dangerously close to 'legend' OR. Mkdw talk 01:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
